Groups with few conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups

The structure of groups with finitely many non-normal subgroups is well known. In this paper, groups are investigated with finitely many conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups with a given property. In particular, it is proved that a locally soluble group with finitely many non-trivial conjugacy classes of non-abelian subgroups has finite commutator subgroup. This result generalizes a theorem by Romalis and Sesekin on groups in which every non-abelian subgroup is normal.      

First Hitting Times for Some Random Walks on Finite Groups

We consider a random walk on a finite group G based on a generating set that is a union of conjugacy classes. Let the nonnegative integer valued random variable T denote the first time the walk arrives at the identity element of G, if the starting point of the walk is uniformly distributed on G. Under suitable hypotheses, we show that the distribution function F of T is almost exponential, and we give an error term.     

The Class Number of Derived Subgroups and the Structure of Camina Groups

A finite group G is called a Camina group if G has a proper normal subgroup N such that gN is precisely a conjugacy class of G for any g ∈E G - N. In this paper, the structure of a Camina group G is determined when N is a union of 2, 3 or 4 conjugacy classes of G.     

Twisted conjugacy classes of the unit element

We study twisted conjugacy classes of the unit element in different groups. Fel’shtyn and Troitsky showed that the twisted conjugacy class of the unit element of an abelian group is a subgroup for every automorphism. The structure is investigated of a group whose twisted conjugacy class of the unit element is a subgroup for every automorphism (inner automorphism).

Parity features for classes of the infinite symmetric group

A conjugacy class in the infinite-symmetric group is said to have parity features if no finitary odd permutation is a product of two of its members. The conjugacy classes having parity features are determined. The role played by a property of this kind in determining products of conjugacy classes in any group in which every element is conjugate with its inverse is studied.

Sign conjugacy classes of the alternating groups

A conjugacy class C of a finite group G is a sign conjugacy class if every irreducible character of G takes value 0,1 or ?1 on C. In this paper, we classify the sign conjugacy classes of alternating groups.     

Mapping class group of a plane curve germ

We prove that every topological conjugacy between two germs of singular holomorphic curves in the complex plane is homotopic to another conjugacy which extends homeomorphically to the exceptional divisors of their minimal desingularisations. As an application we give an explicit presentation of a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of the germ of such a singularity.     

Splitting fields of characteristic polynomials of random elements in arithmetic groups

We discuss rather systematically the principle, implicit in earlier works, that for a “random” element in an arithmetic subgroup of a (split, say) reductive algebraic group over a number field, the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial, computed using any faitfhful representation, has Galois group isomorphic to the Weyl group of the underlying algebraic group. Besides tools such as the large sieve, which we had already used, we introduce some probabilistic ideas (large deviation estimates for finite Markov chains) and the general case involves a more precise understanding of the way Frobenius conjugacy classes are computed for such splitting fields (which is related to a map between regular elements of a finite group of Lie type and conjugacy classes in the Weyl group which had been considered earlier by Carter and Fulman for other purposes; we show in particular that the values of this map are equidistributed).

The Congruence Property of AT-Groups

An AT-group is said to possess the congruence property if every normal subgroup of that group contains a congruence subgroup. We construct a series of examples of periodic AT-groups without this property. Moreover, we give an example of a periodic group which has a decidable conjugacy problem but lacks conjugacy separability.     

An Analog of the Baer-Suzuki Theorem for Infinite Groups

We consider a group without infinite ascending chains of nilpotent subgroups and prove that if every two elements of some conjugacy class generates a nilpotent subgroup then the whole class also generates a nilpotent subgroup.     

Curve selection Lemma for semianalytic sets and conjugacy classes of finite order in Lie groups

Using a strong version of the Curve Selection Lemma for real semianalytic sets, we prove that for an arbitrary connected Lie group G, each connected component of the set E_n(G)of all elements of order n in G is a conjugacy class in G. In particular, all conjugacy classes of finite order in G are closed. Some properties of connected components of E_n(G) are also given.

The structure of blocks

In this paper, we focus on the structure of p-blocks with defect group satisfying some special condition. These special conditions include: two elements of the defect group are conjugate to each other in defect D if and only if they are conjugate to each other in G; the number of conjugacy classes whose p-part is contained in P by conjugacy is not larger than ∣P∣     

Scaling exponents of random walks in random sceneries

We compute the exact asymptotic normalizations of random walks in random sceneries, for various null recurrent random walks to the nearest neighbours, and for i.i.d., centered and square integrable random sceneries. In each case, the standard deviation grows like n with . Here, the value of the exponent is determined by the sole geometry of the underlying graph, as opposed to previous examples, where this value reflected mainly the integrability properties of the steps of the walk, or of the scenery. For discrete Bessel processes of dimension d[0;2[, the exponent is . For the simple walk on some specific graphs, whose volume grows like n^d for d[1;2[, the exponent is =1−d/4. We build a null recurrent walk, for which without logarithmic correction. Last, for the simple walk on a critical Galton–Watson tree, conditioned by its nonextinction, the annealed exponent is . In that setting and when the scenery is i.i.d. by levels, the same result holds with .
