Primitive subgroups and PST-groups
2014
AbstractAll groups considered in this paper are finite. A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is called a primitive subgroup if it is a proper subgroup in the intersection of all subgroups of $G$ containing $H$ as a proper subgroup. He et al. [‘A note on primitive subgroups of finite groups’, Commun. Korean Math. Soc. 28(1) (2013), 55–62] proved that every primitive subgroup of $G$ has index a power of a prime if and only if $G/ \Phi (G)$ is a solvable PST-group. Let $\mathfrak{X}$ denote the class of groups $G$ all of whose primitive subgroups have prime power index. It is established here that a group $G$ is a solvable PST-group if and only if every subgroup of $G$ is an $\mathfrak{X}$-group.
Graphs and classes of finite groups
2013
[EN] There are different ways to associate to a finite group a certain graph. An interesting question is to analyse the relations between the structure of the group, given in group-theoretical terms, and the structure of the graph, given in the language of graph theory. This survey paper presents some contributions to this research line.
Products of locally dihedral subgroups
2012
AbstractIt is shown that a group G=AB which is a product of two periodic locally dihedral subgroups A and B is soluble.
On finite products of groups and supersolubility
2010
Two subgroups X and Y of a group G are said to be conditionally permutable in G if X permutes with Y(g) for some element g E G. i.e., XY(g) is a subgroup of G. Using this permutability property new criteria for the product of finite supersoluble groups to be supersoluble are obtained and previous results are recovered. Also the behaviour of the supersoluble residual in products of finite groups is studied.
On conditional permutability and saturated formations
2011
Two subgroups A and B of a group G are said to be totally completely conditionally permutable (tcc-permutable) in G if X permutes with Yg for some g ¿ ¿X, Y¿ for all X ¿ A and Y ¿ B. We study the belonging of a finite product of tcc-permutable subgroups to a saturated formation of soluble groups containing all finite supersoluble groups. © 2011 Edinburgh Mathematical Society.
Saturated formations and products of connected subgroups
2011
Abstract For a non-empty class of groups C , two subgroups A and B of a group G are said to be C -connected if 〈 a , b 〉 ∈ C for all a ∈ A and b ∈ B . Given two sets π and ρ of primes, S π S ρ denotes the class of all finite soluble groups that are extensions of a normal π-subgroup by a ρ-group. It is shown that in a finite group G = A B , with A and B soluble subgroups, then A and B are S π S ρ -connected if and only if O ρ ( B ) centralizes A O π ( G ) / O π ( G ) , O ρ ( A ) centralizes B O π ( G ) / O π ( G ) and G ∈ S π ∪ ρ . Moreover, if in this situation A and B are in S π S ρ , then G is in S π S ρ . This result is then extended to a large family of saturated formations F , the so-c…
The minimal number of characters over a normal p-subgroup
2007
Abstract If N is a normal p-subgroup of a finite group G and θ ∈ Irr ( N ) is a G-invariant irreducible character of N, then the number | Irr ( G | θ ) | of irreducible characters of G over θ is always greater than or equal to the number k p ′ ( G / N ) of conjugacy classes of G / N consisting of p ′ -elements. In this paper, we investigate when there is equality.
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.
Finite groups with subgroups supersoluble or subnormal
2009
Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the structure of finite groups whose non-subnormal subgroups lie in some subclasses of the class of finite supersoluble groups.
The number of lifts of a Brauer character with a normal vertex
2011
AbstractIn this paper we examine the behavior of lifts of Brauer characters in p-solvable groups. In the main result, we show that if φ∈IBr(G) has a normal vertex Q and either p is odd or Q is abelian, then the number of lifts of φ is at most |Q:Q′|. As a corollary, we prove that if φ∈IBr(G) has an abelian vertex subgroup Q, then the number of lifts of φ in Irr(G) is at most |Q|.
