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.
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 …
