Central Units, Class Sums and Characters of the Symmetric Group
2010
In the search for central units of a group algebra, we look at the class sums of the group algebra of the symmetric group S n in characteristic zero, and we show that they are units in very special instances.
On σ-subnormal closure
2020
Let σ={σi:i∈I} be a partition of the set P of all prime numbers. A subgroup A of a finite group G is called σ-subnormal in G if there is a chain of subgroups A=A0⊆A1⊆⋯⊆An=G with Ai−1 normal in Ai o...
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.
p-Parts of Brauer character degrees
2014
Abstract Let G be a finite group and let p be an odd prime. Under certain conditions on the p-parts of the degrees of its irreducible p-Brauer characters, we prove the solvability of G. As a consequence, we answer a question proposed by B. Huppert in 1991: If G has exactly two distinct irreducible p-Brauer character degrees, then is G solvable? We also determine the structure of non-solvable groups with exactly two irreducible 2-Brauer character degrees.
Finite Group Elements where No Irreducible Character Vanishes
1999
AbstractIn this paper, we consider elements x of a finite group G with the property that χ(x)≠0 for all irreducible characters χ of G. If G is solvable and x has odd order, we show that x must lie in the Fitting subgroup F(G).
Real constituents of permutation characters
2022
Abstract We prove a broad generalization of a theorem of W. Burnside about the existence of real characters of finite groups to permutation characters. If G is a finite group, under the necessary hypothesis of O 2 ′ ( G ) = G , we can also give some control on the parity of multiplicities of the constituents of permutation characters (a result that needs the Classification of Finite Simple Groups). Along the way, we give a new characterization of the 2-closed finite groups using odd-order real elements of the group. All this can be seen as a contribution to Brauer's Problem 11 which asks how much information about subgroups of a finite group can be determined by the character table.
On σ-subnormality criteria in finite groups
2022
Abstract Let σ = { σ i : i ∈ I } be a partition of the set P of all prime numbers. A subgroup H of a finite group G is called σ-subnormal in G if there is a chain of subgroups H = H 0 ⊆ H 1 ⊆ ⋯ ⊆ H n = G where, for every i = 1 , … , n , H i − 1 normal in H i or H i / C o r e H i ( H i − 1 ) is a σ j -group for some j ∈ I . In the special case that σ is the partition of P into sets containing exactly one prime each, the σ-subnormality reduces to the familiar case of subnormality. In this paper some σ-subnormality criteria for subgroups of finite groups are studied.
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.
