On formations of finite groups with the generalised Wielandt property for residuals

2014

Abstract A formation F of finite groups has the generalised Wielandt property for residuals, or F is a GWP-formation, if the F -residual of a group generated by two F -subnormal subgroups is the subgroup generated by their F -residuals. We prove that every GWP-formation is saturated. This is one of the crucial steps in the hunt for a solution of the classification problem.

On complements of 𝔉-residuals of finite groups

2016

ABSTRACTA formation 𝔉 of finite groups has the generalized Wielandt property for residuals, or 𝔉 is a GWP-formation, if the 𝔉-residual of a group generated by two 𝔉-subnormal subgroups is the subgroup generated by their 𝔉-residuals. The main aim of the paper is to determine some sufficient conditions for a finite group to split over its 𝔉-residual.

Characters and Sylow 2-subgroups of maximal class revisited

2018

Abstract We give two ways to distinguish from the character table of a finite group G if a Sylow 2-subgroup of G has maximal class. We also characterize finite groups with Sylow 3-subgroups of order 3 in terms of their principal 3-block.

Number of Sylow subgroups in $p$-solvable groups

2003

If G is a finite group and p is a prime number, let vp(G) be the number of Sylow p-subgroups of G. If H is a subgroup of a p-solvable group G, we prove that v p (H) divides v p (G).

A Dual Version of Huppert's  -  Conjecture

2010

Huppert’s ρ-σ conjecture asserts that any finite group has some character degree that is divisible by “many” primes. In this note, we consider a dual version of this problem, and we prove that for any finite group there is some prime that divides “many” character degrees.

The McKay conjecture and Galois automorphisms

2004

The main problem of representation theory of finite groups is to find proofs of several conjectures stating that certain global invariants of a finite group G can be computed locally. The simplest of these conjectures is the ?McKay conjecture? which asserts that the number of irreducible complex characters of G of degree not divisible by p is the same if computed in a p-Sylow normalizer of G. In this paper, we propose a much stronger version of this conjecture which deals with Galois automorphisms. In fact, the same idea can be applied to the celebrated Alperin and Dade conjectures.

On groups with abelian Sylow 2-subgroups

1970

Finite groups with abelian Sylow 2-subgroups have been classified by Walter [8]. In this note I want to describe an alternate proof of some partial result of Walter's work, namely the theorem stated below. It represents the first major reduction step in that classification. The approach used here is to some extent derived from [1]. ! Besides the groups L 2 (q)= PSL(2, q) another class of simple groups enters our discussion: We say that a simple group G with abelian Sz-subgroups is of type JR (Janko-Ree) if, for any involution t in G, CG (t) is a maximal subgroup of G isomorphic to ( t ) | E where PSL(2, q)~ E ~_ PFL(2, q) with odd q > 5. In fact, E = L 2 (q), as proved by Walter 1-7] ; and …

A note on finite groups generated by their subnormal subgroups

2001

AbstractFollowing the theory of operators created by Wielandt, we ask for what kind of formations $\mathfrak{F}$ and for what kind of subnormal subgroups $U$ and $V$ of a finite group $G$ we have that the $\mathfrak{F}$-residual of the subgroup generated by two subnormal subgroups of a group is the subgroup generated by the $\mathfrak{F}$-residuals of the subgroups.In this paper we provide an answer whenever $U$ is quasinilpotent and $\mathfrak{F}$ is either a Fitting formation or a saturated formation closed for quasinilpotent subnormal subgroups.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20F17; 20D35

Finite groups which are products of pairwise totally permutable subgroups

1998

Finite groups which are products of pairwise totally permutable subgroups are studied in this paper. The -residual, -projectors and -normalizers in such groups are obtained from the corresponding subgroups of the factor subgroups under suitable hypotheses.
