Let G be a finite group that acts on a nonzero finite dimensional vector space V over an arbitrary field. Assume that V is completely reducible as a G-module, and that G fixes no nonzero vector of V. We show that some element g ∈ G has a small fixed-point space in V. Specifically, we prove that we can choose g so that dim C V (g) < (1/p)dim V, where p is the smallest prime divisor of |G|.

Irreducibility of Hurwitz spaces of coverings with one special fiber

2006

Abstract Let Y be a smooth, projective complex curve of genus g ⩾ 1. Let d be an integer ⩾ 3, let e = {e1, e2,..., er} be a partition of d and let | e | = Σi=1r(ei − 1). In this paper we study the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize coverings of degree d of Y branched in n points of which n − 1 are points of simple ramification and one is a special point whose local monodromy has cyclic type e and furthermore the coverings have full monodromy group Sd. We prove the irreducibility of these Hurwitz spaces when n − 1 + | e | ⩾ 2d, thus generalizing a result of Graber, Harris and Starr [A note on Hurwitz schemes of covers of a positive genus curve, Preprint, math. AG/0205056].

On the abnormal structure of finite groups

We study finite groups in which every maximal subgroup is supersoluble or normal. Our results answer some questions arising from papers of Asaad and Rose.

Products of groups and group classes

1994

Letχ be a Schunck class, and let the finite groupG=AB=BC=AC be the product of two nilpotent subgroupsA andB andχ-subgroupC. If for every common prime divisorp of the orders ofA andB the cyclic group of orderp is anχ-group, thenG is anχ-group. This generalizes earlier results of O. Kegel and F. Peterson. Some related results for groups of the formG=AB=AK=BK, whereK is a nilpotent normal subgroup ofG andA andB areχ-groups for some saturated formationχ, are also proved.
