The Average Sylow Multiplicity Character and the Solvable Residual

Let G be a finite group, and let p₁,…, p_m be the distinct prime divisors of |G|. Given a sequence 𝒫 =P₁,…, P_m, of Sylow p_i-subgroups of G, and g ∈ G, denote by m_𝒫(g) the number of factorizations g = g₁…g_m such that g_i ∈ P_i. The properly normalized average of m_𝒫 over all 𝒫 is a complex character over G whose kernel contains the solvable radical of G [7 Levy , D. ( 2010 ). The average Sylow multiplicity character and solvability of finite groups . Communications in Algebra. 38 : 632 – 644 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. The present paper characterizes the solvable residual of G in terms of this character.     

特征标次数的重数与可解群结构

非线性不可约特征标次数的重数全部为1的有限群的分类是熟知的.对可解群,本文讨论更一般的,即非线性不可约特征标次数的重数都与群阶互素的有限群的纯群论性质.特别地,得到了非线性不可约特征标次数的重数均小于2p的奇阶群G的分类结果.这里p为群阶|G|的最小素因子.     

Sylow Products and the Solvable Residual

We study the connection between products of Sylow subgroups of a finite group G and the solvable residual of G. Let Π(𝒫) be a product of Sylow subgroups of G such that each prime divisor of |G| is represented exactly once in Π(𝒫). We prove that there exists a unique normal subgroup N of G which is minimal subject to the requirement Π(𝒫) N = G. Furthermore, N is perfect, and the product of all of these subgroups is the solvable residual of G. We also prove that the solvable residual of G is generated by all elements which arise from non-trivial factorizations of 1 _G in such products of Sylow subgroups.     

Common Divisor Character Degree Graphs of Solvable Groups with Four Vertices

Let G be a finite solvable group. The common divisor graph Γ(G) attached to G is a character degree graph. Its vertices are the degrees of the nonlinear irreducible complex characters of G, and different vertices m, n are adjacent if the greatest common divisor (m, n) > 1. In this article, we classify all graphs with four vertices that may occur as Γ(G) for solvable group G.     

Finite Solvable Groups with an Irreducible Character Vanishing on Just One Class of Elements

The aim of this note is to classify the finite solvable groups with an irreducible character that vanishes on just one class of elements.     

Prime Divisibility Among Degrees of Solvable Groups

Abstract

Let G be a finite, nonabelian, solvable group. Following work by D. Benjamin, we conjecture that some prime must divide at least a third of the irreducible character degrees of G. Benjamin was able to show the conjecture is true if all primes divide at most 3 degrees. We extend this result by showing if primes divide at most 4 degrees, then G has at most 12 degrees. We also present an example showing our result is best possible.     

Normal Sylow subgroups and monomial Brauer characters

Let G be a finite group, p be a prime divisor of |G|, and P be a Sylow p-subgroup of G. We prove that P is normal in a solvable group G if |G : ker φ|p' = φ(1)p' for every nonlinear irreducible monomial p-Brauer character φ of G, where ker φ is the kernel of φ and φ(1)p' is the p'-part of φ(1).     

Maximal and Sylow Subgroups of Solvable Finite Groups

The structure of finite solvable groups in which any Sylow subgroup is the product of two cyclic subgroups is studied. In particular, it is proved that the nilpotent length of such a group is no greater than 4. It is also proved that the nilpotent length of a finite solvable group in which the index of any maximal subgroup is either a prime or the square of a prime or the cube of a prime does not exceed 5.     

Bounding the Derived Length of a Solvable Group: An Improvement on a Result by Gluck

Let cd(G) be the set of degrees of irreducible complex characters and dl(G) be the derived length of the finite group G. It is a result by Gluck that if G is solvable then dl(G) ≤2|cd(G)|. Using a result of Isaacs and Knutson, I will in this article show that this bound can be improved to dl(G) ≤2|cd(G)| ?3 when |cd(G)| ≥3.     

On the Character Degree Graph of Solvable Groups, I Three Primes

For any finite solvable group G we show that if three primes dividing the degrees of certain irreducible characters of G are given, then there exists an irreducible character of G with degree divisible by at least two of the given primes. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The order of elements in Sylow p-subgroups of the symmetric group

Define a random variable ξ_n by choosing a conjugacy class C of the Sylow p-subgroup of S_pn by random, and let ξ_n be the logarithm of the order of an element in C. We show that ξ_n has bounded variance and mean order log n /log p +O(1), which differs greatly from the average order of elements chosen with equal probability. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On the Fitting Height of a Group with Two Sylow Numbers

The Multiplicity of Jet Schemes of a Simple Normal Crossing Divisor

Jet schemes of monomial schemes are known to be equidimensional but are not reduced in general. We give a formula for the multiplicity along every component of the jet schemes of a simple normal crossing divisor.     

The Existence of p-Blocks with a Submaximal-Subgroup of a Sylow p-Subgroup as Defect Group

Abstract

In this paper,we will determine the existence of blocks with submaximal subgroups of Sylow p-subgroups of a finite group G as defect groups.     

Character sums and nonlinear recurrence sequences

We obtain upper bounds on character sums and autocorrelation of nonlinear recurrence sequences over arbitrary finite rings.     

The average number of Sylow subgroups of a finite group

We prove that if the average Sylow number (ignoring the Sylow numbers that are one) of a finite group G is ?7, then G is solvable.     

On the Surjectivity of the Exponential Function of Solvable Lie Groups

For a solvable Lie group G the surjectivity of the exponential function exp_G is equivalent to the connectedness of the near-Cartan subgroups and to the connectedness of the centralizers in a Cartan subgroup of all nilpotent elements in its Lie algebra g. Furthermore, these conditions are satisfied if and only if for all elements g ? G there is an x ? g with g = exp_G x in which exp_G is regular.     

The Sylow p-Subgroups of a Limiting (Stable) Linear Group over an Algebraically Closed Field

In Math. Zh. 36(3) (1963), 240–246, we considered the classification of Sylow p-subgroups of a countable (finitary) symmetric group. Later, we extended this classification to Sylow p-subgroups of a limiting (stable) linear group over a finite field GF(q) with char(GF(q)) p. In this paper, the classification of the Sylow p-subgroups of the limiting (stable) linear group GL() is given for an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Every Sylow p-subgroup is characterized by a p-adic integer together with a finite or countable cardinal.
