On Finite Groups with Some Semi Cover-Avoiding Subgroups

A subgroup H of a finite group G is said to have the semi-cover-avoiding property in G if there is a chief series of G such that H covers or avoids every chief factor of the series. In this paper, some new results are obtained based on the assumption that some subgroups have the semi-cover-avoiding property in the group.     

A question on partial CAP-subgroups of finite groups

A subgroup H of a finite group G is a partial CAP-subgroup of G if there is a chief series of G such that H either covers or avoids every chief factor of the series.The structural impact of the partial cover and avoidance property of some distinguished subgroups of a group has been studied by many authors.However,there are still some open questions which deserve an answer.The purpose of the present paper is to give a complete answer to one of these questions.     

New Characterizations of p-Supersolubility of Finite Groups

Let H be a subgroup of a finite group G. H is said to be λ-supplemented in G if G has a subgroup T such that G = HT and H ∩ T ≤ H _SE , where H _SE denotes the subgroup of H generated by all those subgroups of H, which are S-quasinormally embedded in G. In this article, some results about the λ-supplemented subgroups are obtained, by which we determine the structure of some classes of finite groups. In particular, some new characterizations of p-supersolubility of finite groups are given under the assumption that some primary subgroups are λ-supplemented. As applications, a number of previous known results are generalized.     

ℳ-Supplemented Subgroups and Their Properties

A subgroup H is called ?-supplemented in a finite group G, if there exists a subgroup B of G such that G = HB and H ₁ B is a proper subgroup of G for any maximal subgroup H ₁ of H. In this article, we investigate the influence of ?-supplementation of some primary subgroups in finite groups. Some new results about supersolvable groups and formation are obtained.     

On Finite Quasi-ℱ-Groups

Let G be a finite group and ? a saturated formation of finite groups. We say that G is quasi-?-group if for every ?-eccentric chief factor H/K of G and every x ∈ G, x induces an inner automorphism on H/K. In particular, we have the concepts of quasisoluble, quasisupersoluble, quasimetanilpotent groups, and so on. In this article, we obtain some results about the quasi-?-groups and use them to give the conditions under which a group is quasisoluble, quasimetanilpotent, or quasisupersoluble.     

Verifying Huppert's Conjecture for PSL3(q) and PSU3(q 2)

Let G be a finite group and cd(G) be the set of irreducible character degrees of G. Bertram Huppert conjectured that if H is a finite nonabelian simple group such that cd(G) = cd(H), then G ? H × A, where A is an abelian group. We examine arguments to verify this conjecture for the simple groups of Lie type of rank two. To illustrate our arguments, we extend Huppert's results and verify the conjecture for the simple linear and unitary groups of rank two.     

Nonsolvable Groups All of Whose Character Degrees are Odd-Square-Free

A finite group G is odd-square-free if no irreducible complex character of G has degree divisible by the square of an odd prime. We determine all odd-square-free groups G satisfying S ≤ G ≤ Aut(S) for a finite simple group S. More generally, we show that if G is any nonsolvable odd-square-free group, then G has at most two nonabelian chief factors and these must be simple odd-square-free groups. If the alternating group A ₇ is involved in G, the structure of G can be further restricted.     

Nearly s-Normality of Groups and Its Properties

We call a subgroup H of a group G nearly s-normal in G if there exists N ? G such that HN ? G and H ∩ N ≤ H _sG , where H _sG is the largest s-permutable subgroup of G contained in H. In this article, we obtain some results about the nearly s-normal subgroups and use them to characterize the structure of finite groups.     

A Generalization of Cover-Avoiding Properties in Finite Groups

A subgroup H of a group G is called a CAP*-subgroup of G, if H either covers or avoids every non-Frattini chief factor of G. In this article, we give some interesting properties of CAP*-subgroups. Furthermore, we determine the structure of finite groups based on the assumption that some subgroups are CAP*-subgroups and generalize some known results.     

Complete precones on noncommutative integral domains

A subgroup H is called Q-supplemented in a finite group G, if there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K is contained in H _QG , where H _QG is the maximal quasinormal subgroup of G contained in H. In this article, we investigate the influence of Q-supplementation of some primary subgroups in finite groups. Some recent results are generalized.     

s-Permutably embedded subgroups and p-supersolvable groups

Let G be a finite group,and H a subgroup of G.H is called s-permutably embedded in G if each Sylow subgroup of H is a Sylow subgroup of some s-permutable subgroup of G.In this paper,we use s-permutably embedding property of subgroups to characterize the p-supersolvability of finite groups,and obtain some interesting results which improve some recent results.     

Finite Groups all of Whose Second Maximal Subgroups are QTI-Subgroups

A subgroup H of a finite group G is called a QTI-subgroup if C _G (x) ≤ N _G (H) for any 1 ≠ x ∈ H. In this article, the finite groups all of whose second maximal subgroup are QTI-subgroups are classified.     

Influence of certain permutable subgroups on finite smooth groups

A subgroup H of a finite group G is said to be permutable in G if it permutes with every subgroup of G. In this paper, we determine the finite groups which have a permutable subgroup of prime order and whose maximal subgroups are totally (generalized) smooth groups.     

Some finiteness conditions on normalizers or centralizers in groups

We consider the following two finiteness conditions on normalizers and centralizers in a group G: (i) |N_G(H) : H| < ∞ for every H ? G, and (ii) |C_G(x):?x?|<∞ for every ?x??G. We show that (i) and (ii) are equivalent in the classes of locally finite groups and locally nilpotent groups. In both cases, the groups satisfying these conditions are a special kind of cyclic extensions of Dedekind groups. We also study a variation of (i) and (ii), where the requirement of finiteness is replaced with a bound. In this setting, we extend our analysis to the classes of periodic locally graded groups and non-periodic groups. While the two conditions are still equivalent in the former case, in the latter the condition about normalizers is stronger than that about centralizers.     

On Infinite Camina Groups

A group G is called a Camina group if G′ ≠ G and each element x ∈ G?G′ satisfies the equation x ^G  = xG′, where x ^G denotes the conjugacy class of x in G. Finite Camina groups were introduced by Alan Camina in 1978, and they had been studied since then by many authors. In this article, we start the study of infinite Camina groups. In particular, we characterize infinite Camina groups with a finite G′ (see Theorem 3.1) and we show that infinite non-abelian finitely generated Camina groups must be nonsolvable (see Theorem 4.3). We also describe locally finite Camina groups, residually finite Camina groups (see Section 3) and some periodic solvable Camina groups (see Section 5).     

The influence of s-conditionally permutable subgroups on finite groups

A subgroup H of a group G is called s-conditionally permutable in G if for every Sylow subgroup T of G there exists an element x ∈ G such that HTx = TxH. Using the concept of s-conditionally permutable subgroups, some new characterizations of finite groups are obtained and several interesting results are generalized.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-nilpotency and minimal subgroups of finite groups

We call a subgroup H of a finite group G c-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K ⩽ core(H). In this paper it is proved that a finite group G is p-nilpotent if G is S ₄-free and every minimal subgroup of P ∩ G ^N is c-supplemented in N _G (P), and when p = 2 P is quaternion-free, where p is the smallest prime number dividing the order of G, P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. As some applications of this result, some known results are generalized.     

On Influence of Contranormal Subgroups on the Structure of Infinite Groups

Following Rose, a subgroup H of a group G is called contranormal, if G = H ^G . In certain sense, contranormal subgroups are antipodes to subnormal subgroups. It is well known that a finite group is nilpotent if and only if it has no proper contranormal subgroups. However, for the infinite groups this criterion is not valid. There are examples of non-nilpotent infinite groups whose subgroups are subnormal; in paricular, these groups have no contranormal subgroups. Nevertheless, for some classes of infinite groups, the absence of contranormal subgroups implies the nilpotency of the group. The current article is devoted to the search of such classes. Some new criteria of nilpotency in certain classes of infinite groups have been established.     

Classifying Finite Simple Groups with Respect to the Number of Orbits Under the Action of the Automorphism Group

Abstract

Let ω(G) denote the number of orbits on the finite group G under the action of Aut(G). Using the classification of finite simple groups, we prove that for any positive integer n, there is only a finite number of (non-abelian) finite simple groups G satisfying ω(G) ≤ n. Then we classify all finite simple groups G such that ω(G) ≤ 17. The latter result was obtained by computational means, using the computer algebra system GAP.     

Connectivity of intersection graphs of finite groups

The intersection graph of a group G is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of G, and there is an edge between two distinct vertices H and K if and only if H∩K≠1 where 1 denotes the trivial subgroup of G. In this paper, we classify finite solvable groups whose intersection graphs are not 2-connected and finite nilpotent groups whose intersection graphs are not 3-connected. Our methods are elementary.
