Groups with few $p'$-character degrees

2019

Abstract We prove a variation of Thompson's Theorem. Namely, if the first column of the character table of a finite group G contains only two distinct values not divisible by a given prime number p > 3 , then O p p ′ p p ′ ( G ) = 1 . This is done by using the classification of finite simple groups.

Conjugacy classes, characters and products of elements

2019

Recently, Baumslag and Wiegold proved that a finite group $G$ is nilpotent if and only if $o(xy)=o(x)o(y)$ for every $x,y\in G$ of coprime order. Motivated by this result, we study the groups with the property that $(xy)^G=x^Gy^G$ and those with the property that $\chi(xy)=\chi(x)\chi(y)$ for every complex irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$ and every nontrivial $x, y \in G$ of pairwise coprime order. We also consider several ways of weakening the hypothesis on $x$ and $y$. While the result of Baumslag and Wiegold is completely elementary, some of our arguments here depend on (parts of) the classification of finite simple groups.

Algorithms for permutability in finite groups

2013

In this paper we describe some algorithms to identify permutable and Sylow-permutable subgroups of finite groups, Dedekind and Iwasawa finite groups, and finite T-groups (groups in which normality is transitive), PT-groups (groups in which permutability is transitive), and PST-groups (groups in which Sylow permutability is transitive). These algorithms have been implemented in a package for the computer algebra system GAP.

Character correspondences in blocks with normal defect groups

2014

Abstract In this paper we give an extension of the Glauberman correspondence to certain characters of blocks with normal defect groups.

Uncountable existentially closed groups in locally finite group classes

1990

In this paper, will always denote a local class of locally finite groups, which is closed with respect to subgroups, homomorphic images, extensions, and with respect to cartesian powers of finite -groups. Examples for x are the classes L ℐπ of all locally finite π-groups and L(ℐπ ∩ ) of all locally soluble π-groups (where π is a fixed set of primes). In [4], a wreath product construction was used in the study of existentially closed -groups (=e.c. -groups); the restrictive type of construction available in [4] permitted results for only countable groups. This drawback was then removed partially in [5] with the help of permutational products. Nevertheless, the techniques essentially only per…

A Gaschütz–Lubeseder Type Theorem in a Class of Locally Finite Groups

1999

The aim of this paper is to present a Gaschutz–Lubeseder type theorem in the class cL of all radical locally finite groups satisfying min−p for all primes p. Notice that these groups are countable and co-Hopfian by [1, (5.4.8)]. In retrospect, the theory of saturated formations of finite soluble groups began with the results of Gaschutz [3] in 1963. He introduced the concept of “covering subgroup” as a generalization of Sylow and Hall subgroups. These covering subgroups have many of the properties of Sylow and Hall subgroups other than the arithmetic ones. The main idea of Gaschutz’s work was concerned with group theoretical classes having the same properties. He defined a formation F to be…
