Finite Sylow Subgroups in Simple Locally Finite Groups of Lie Type

The main result of the paper is the followingTheorem. Let S = {r₀, r₁, ..., r_n} be a finite nonempty set of primes and let L be a Lie type of Chevalley groups. Then there exists a locally finite field F of characteristic r₀ such that Sylow r-subgroups of the simple group L(F) of type L over F are finite if and only if r ? S.     

On the Non-existence of Semiregular Relative Difference Sets in Groups with All Sylow Subgroups Cyclic

We show that a group with all Sylow subgroups cyclic (other than ) cannot contain a normal semiregular relative difference set (RDSs). We also give a new proof that dihedral groups cannot contain (normal) semiregular RDSs either.     

On Groups with Finite Involution and Locally Finite 2-Isolated Subgroup of Even Period

A proper subgroup H of a group G is said to be strongly isolated if it contains the centralizer of any nonidentity element of H and 2-isolated if the conditions >C _G(g) H 1 and 2(C_G(g)) imply that C_G(g)H. An involution i in a group G is said to be finite if |ii ^g| < (for any g G). In the paper we study a group G with finite involution i and with a 2-isolated locally finite subgroup H containing an involution. It is proved that at least one of the following assertions holds:1) all 2-elements of the group G belong to H;2) (G,H) is a Frobenius pair, H coincides with the centralizer of the only involution in H, and all involutions in G are conjugate;3) G=FFC_G(i) is a locally finite Frobenius group with Abelian kernel F;4) H=V D is a Frobenius group with locally cyclic noninvariant factor D and a strongly isolated kernel V, U=O₂(V) is a Sylow 2-subgroup of the group G, and G is a Z-group of permutations of the set =U ^g g G.     

On Weakly ℋ-Subgroups of Finite Groups

Let G be a finite group. A subgroup H of G is called an ?-subgroup in G if N _G (H) ∩ H ^x  ≤ H for all x ∈ G. A subgroup H of G is called weakly ?-subgroup in G if there exists a normal subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K is an ?-subgroup in G. In this article, we investigate the structure of the finite group G under the assumption that all maximal subgroups of every Sylow subgroup of some normal subgroup of G are weakly ?-subgroups in G. Some recent results are extended and generalized.     

A Note on c-Supplemented Subgroups of Finite Groups

A subgroup H of a finite group G is said to be c-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K is contained in H _G , where H _G is the largest normal subgroup of G contained in H. In this article, we prove that G is solvable if every subgroup of prime odd order of G is c-supplemented in G. Moreover, we prove that G is solvable if and only if every Sylow subgroup of odd order of G is c-supplemented in G. These results improve and extend the classical results of Hall's articles of (1937) and the recent results of Ballester-Bolinches and Guo's article of (1999), Ballester-Bolinches et al.'s article of (2000), and Asaad and Ramadan's article of (2008).     

Conjugacy Classes in Sylow p-Subgroups of Finite Chevalley Groups in Bad Characteristic

Let U = U(q) be a Sylow p-subgroup of a finite Chevalley group G = G(q). Röhrle and Goodwin in 2009 determined a parameterization of the conjugacy classes of U, for G of small rank when q is a power of a good prime for G. As a consequence they verified that the number k(U) of conjugacy classes of U is given by a polynomial in q with integer coefficients. In the present paper, we consider the case when p is a bad prime for G. Our motivation is to observe how the situation differs between good and bad characteristics. We obtain a parameterization of the conjugacy classes of U, when G has rank less than or equal to 4, and G is not of type F ₄. In these cases we deduce that k(U) is given by a polynomial in q with integer coefficients; this polynomial is different from the polynomial for good primes.     

Unfused Involutions in Finite Groups

ABSTRACT

Let x be a p-element of a finite group G. We say that x is unfused in G if, for some Sylow p-subgroup S of G containing x, all G-conjugates of x in S are S-conjugates. It is shown (using the classification of finite simple groups) that a finite group that contains an unfused involution has a chief factor of order 2.

     

SATURATED FORMATIONS CLOSED UNDER SYLOW NORMALIZERS

In this article we show that a finite soluble group possesses nilpotent Hall subgroups for well-defined sets of primes if and only if its Sylow normalizers satisfy the same property. In fact, this property of groups provides a characterization of the subgroup-closed saturated formations, whose elements are characterized by the Sylow normalizers belonging to the class, in the universe of all finite soluble groups.
