On large orbits of subgroups of linear groups

The main aim of this paper is to prove an orbit theorem and to apply it to obtain a result that can be regarded as a significant step towards the solution of Gluck’s conjecture on large character degrees of finite solvable groups.

A note on maximal subgroups and conjugacy classes of finite groups

Given a finite group G, two elements are ≡m-related if they lie in exactly the same maximal subgroups of G. This equivalence relation was introduced by P. J. Cameron, A. Lucchini and C. M. Roney-Do...

On Large Orbits of Actions of Finite Soluble Groups: Applications

The main aim of this survey paper is to present two orbit theorems and to show how to apply them to obtain a result that can be regarded as a significant step towards the solution of Gluck’s conjecture on large character degrees of finite soluble groups. We also show how to apply them to solve questions about intersections of some conjugacy families of subgroups of finite soluble groups.

On finite involutive Yang–Baxter groups

[EN] A group G is said to be an involutive Yang¿Baxter group, or simply an IYB-group, if it is isomorphic to the permutation group of an involutive, nondegenerate set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. We give new sufficient conditions for a group that can be factorised as a product of two IYB-groups to be an IYB-group. Some earlier results are direct consequences of our main theorem.

On two questions from the Kourovka Notebook

Abstract The aim of this paper is to give answers to some questions concerning intersections of system normalisers and prefrattini subgroups of finite soluble groups raised by the third author, Shemetkov and Vasil'ev in the Kourovka Notebook [10] . Our approach depends on results on regular orbits and it can be also used to extend a result of Mann [9] concerning intersections of injectors associated to Fitting classes.

The Structure Group and the Permutation Group of a Set-Theoretic Solution of the Quantum Yang–Baxter Equation

We describe the left brace structure of the structure group and the permutation group associated to an involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solution of the quantum YangBaxter equation by using the Cayley graph of its permutation group with respect to its natural generating system. We use our descriptions of the additions in both braces to obtain new properties of the structure and the permutation groups and to recover some known properties of these groups in a more transparent way.

On finite p-groups of supersoluble type

Abstract A finite p-group S is said to be of supersoluble type if every fusion system over S is supersoluble. The main aim of this paper is to characterise the finite p-groups of supersoluble type. Abelian and metacyclic p-groups of supersoluble type are completely described. Furthermore, we show that the Sylow p-subgroups of supersoluble type of a finite simple group must be cyclic.

On a paper of Beltrán and Shao about coprime action

Abstract Assume that A and G are finite groups of coprime orders such that A acts on G via automorphisms. Let p be a prime. The following coprime action version of a well-known theorem of Ito about the structure of a minimal non-p-nilpotent groups is proved: if every maximal A-invariant subgroup of G is p-nilpotent, then G is p-soluble. If, moreover, G is not p-nilpotent, then G must be soluble. Some earlier results about coprime action are consequences of this theorem.

Left braces and the quantum Yang-Baxter equation

[EN] Braces were introduced by Rump in 2007 as a useful tool in the study of the set-theoretic solutions of the Yang¿Baxter equation. In fact, several aspects of the theory of finite left braces and their applications in the context of the Yang¿Baxter equation have been extensively investigated recently. The main aim of this paper is to introduce and study two finite brace theoretical properties associated with nilpotency, and to analyse their impact on the finite solutions of the Yang¿Baxter equation.
