Product of nilpotent subgroups
2000
We will say that a subgroup X of G satisfies property C in G if \({\rm C}_{G}(X\cap X^{{g}})\leqq X\cap X^{{g}}\) for all \({g}\in G\). We obtain that if X is a nilpotent subgroup satisfying property C in G, then XF(G) is nilpotent. As consequence it follows that if \(N\triangleleft G\) is nilpotent and X is a nilpotent subgroup of G then \(C_G(N\cap X)\leqq X\) implies that NX is nilpotent.¶We investigate the relationship between the maximal nilpotent subgroups satisfying property C and the nilpotent injectors in a finite group.
A partition of characters associated to nilpotent subgroups
1999
IfG is a finite solvable group andH is a maximal nilpotent subgroup ofG containingF(G), we show that there is a canonical basisP(G|H) of the space of class functions onG vanishing off anyG-conjugate ofH which consists of characters. ViaP(G|H) it is possible to partition the irreducible characters ofG into “blocks”. These behave like Brauerp-blocks and a Fong theory for them can be developed.
A conjecture on the number of conjugacy classes in ap-solvable group
1996
IfG is ap-solvable group, it is conjectured that k(G/O P (G) ≤ |G| p ′. The conjecture is easily obtained for solvable groups as a consequence of R. Knorr’s work on the k(GV) problem. Also, a related result is obtained: k(G/F(G)) is bounded by the index of a nilpotent injector ofG.
Nilpotent length and system permutability
2022
Abstract If C is a class of groups, a C -injector of a finite group G is a subgroup V of G with the property that V ∩ K is a C -maximal subgroup of K for all subnormal subgroups K of G. The classical result of B. Fischer, W. Gaschutz and B. Hartley states the existence and conjugacy of F -injectors in finite soluble groups for Fitting classes F . We shall show that for groups of nilpotent length at most 4, F -injectors permute with the members of a Sylow basis in the group. We shall exhibit the construction of a Fitting class and a group of nilpotent length 5, which fail to satisfy the result and show that the bound is the best possible.
Nilpotent-like fitting formations of finite soluble groups
2000
[EN] In this paper the subnormal subgroup closed saturated formations of finite soluble groups containing nilpotent groups are fully characterised by means of extensions of well-known properties enjoyed by the formation of all nilpotent groups.
Generalised norms in finite soluble groups
2014
Abstract We give a framework for a number of generalisations of Baerʼs norm that have appeared recently. For a class C of finite nilpotent groups we define the C -norm κ C ( G ) of a finite group G to be the intersection of the normalisers of the subgroups of G that are not in C . We show that those groups for which the C -norm is not hypercentral have a very restricted structure. The non-nilpotent groups G for which G = κ C ( G ) have been classified for some classes. We give a classification for nilpotent classes closed under subgroups, quotients and direct products of groups of coprime order and show the known classifications can be deduced from our classification.
Permutable products of supersoluble groups
2004
We investigate the structure of finite groups that are the mutually permutable product of two supersoluble groups. We show that the supersoluble residual is nilpotent and the Fitting quotient group is metabelian. These results are consequences of our main theorem, which states that such a product is supersoluble when the intersection of the two factors is core-free in the group.
On the number of conjugacy classes of zeros of characters
2004
Letm be a fixed non-negative integer. In this work we try to answer the following question: What can be said about a (finite) groupG if all of its irreducible (complex) characters vanish on at mostm conjugacy classes? The classical result of Burnside about zeros of characters says thatG is abelian ifm=0, so it is reasonable to expect that the structure ofG will somehow reflect the fact that the irreducible characters vanish on a bounded number of classes. The same question can also be posed under the weaker hypothesis thatsome irreducible character ofG hasm classes of zeros. For nilpotent groups we shall prove that the order is bounded by a function ofm in the first case but only the derive…
Periodic and Nil Polynomials in Rings
1980
Let R be an associative ring and f(x1,…, xd) a polynomial in noncommuting variables. We say that f is periodic or nil in R if for all r1,…, rd ∈ R we have that f(r1,…, rd) is periodic, respectively nilpotent (recall that a ∈ R is periodic if for some integer ).
On the Deskins index complex of a maximal subgroup of a finite group
1999
AbstractLet M be a maximal subgroup of a finite group G. A subgroup C of G is said to be a completion of M in G if C is not contained in M while every proper subgroup of C which is normal in G is contained in M. The set, I(M), of all completions of M is called the index complex of M in G. Set P(M) = {C ϵ I(M) ¦ C} is maximal in I(M) and G = CM. The purpose of this note is to prove: A finite group G is solvable if and only if, for each maximal subgroup M of G, P(M) contains element C with CK(C) nilpotent.
