Abstract

Let σ={σi:iI} be a partition of the set P of all prime numbers and let G be a finite group. We say that G is σ-primary if all the prime factors of |G| belong to the same member of σ. G is said to be σ-soluble if every chief factor of G is σ-primary, and G is σ-nilpotent if it is a direct product of σ-primary groups. It is known that G has a largest normal σ-nilpotent subgroup which is denoted by (G). Let n be a non-negative integer. The n-term of the σ-Fitting series of G is defined inductively by F0(G)=1, and Fn+1(G)/Fn(G)=(G/Fn(G)). If G is σ-soluble, there exists a smallest n such that Fn(G)=G. This number n is called the σ-nilpotent length of G and it is denoted by (G). If F is a subgroup-closed saturated formation, we define the σ-F-length (G,F) of G as the σ-nilpotent length of the F-residual GF of G. The main result of the paper shows that if A is a maximal subgroup of G and G is a σ-soluble, then (A,F)=(G,F)−i for some i∈{0,1,2}.

Abstract

Let σ = {σi : iI} be a partition of the set ℙ of all prime numbers. A subgroup X of a finite group G is called σsubnormal in G if there is chain of subgroups X = X0X1 ⊆⋯⊆ Xn = G with Xj-1 normal in Xj or Xi/CoreXi(Xi-1) is a σ-group for some iI, 1 ≤ jn. 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.

If a finite soluble group G = AB is factorised as the product of the subgroups A and B, and X is a subgroup of G such that X is σ-subnormal in 〈X, Xg〉 for all gAB , we prove that X is σ-subnormal in G. This is an extension of a subnormality criteria due to Maier and Sidki and Casolo.

Abstract

Let σ = {σi : iI} be a partition of the set ℙ of all prime numbers. A subgroup A of a finite group G is called σsubnormal in G if there is chain of subgroups A = A0A1 ⊆⋯⊆ An = G with Aj-1 normal in Aj or Ai/CoreAi(Ai-1) is a σj-group for some jI, 1 ≤ in. In this paper, the description of the unique smallest σ-subnormal subgroup of a σ-soluble group containing a given subgroup is obtained.

Abstract

Assume that A and G are finite groups of coprime orders such that A acts on G via automorphisms. Let p be a prime. The following coprime action version of a well-known theorem of Itô about the structure of a minimal non-p-nilpotent groups is proved: if every maximal A-invariant subgroup of G is p-nilpotent, then G is p-soluble. If, moreover, G is not p-nilpotent, then G must be soluble. Some earlier results about coprime action are consequences of this theorem.

Abstract

The problem of computing the abelian kernel of a finite semigroup was first solved by Delgado describing an algorithm that decides whether a given element of a finite semigroup S belongs to the abelian kernel. Steinberg extended the result for any variety of abelian groups with decidable membership. In this paper, we used a completely different approach to complete these results by giving an exact description of the abelian kernel of an inverse semigroup. An abelian group that gives this abelian kernel was also constructed.

Abstract

The main aim of this survey paper is to present two orbit theorems and to show how to apply them to obtain a result that can be regarded as a significant step towards the solution of Gluck’s conjecture on large character degrees of finite soluble groups. We also show how to apply them to solve questions about intersections of some conjugacy families of subgroups of finite soluble groups.

Abstract

In this survey we present some significant bounds for the‎ ‎number of maximal subgroups of a given index of a finite group‎. ‎As a‎ ‎consequence‎, ‎new bounds for the number of random‎ ‎generators needed to generate a finite d-generated group with high‎ ‎probability which are significantly tighter than the ones obtained in‎ ‎the paper of Jaikin-Zapirain and Pyber (Random generation of finite‎ ‎and profinite groups and group enumeration‎, Ann. Math.‎, 183 (2011) 769–814) are obtained‎. ‎The results of‎ ‎Jaikin-Zapirain and Pyber‎, ‎as well as other results of Lubotzky‎, ‎Detomi‎, ‎and Lucchini‎, ‎appear as particular cases of our theorems‎.

Abstract

Let σ = {σi : iI} be a partition of the set ℙ of all prime numbers. A subgroup X of a finite group G is called σ-subnormal in G if there is a chain of subgroups X = X0X1 ⊆⋯⊆ Xn = G where for every j=1,…,n the subgroup Xj-1 is normal in Xj or Xj/CoreXj(Xj-1) is a σi-group for some iI. 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 σ-soluble groups, or groups in which every chief factor is a σi-group, for some iI, are showed.

Abstract

A subgroup H of a finite group G is called ℙ-subnormal in G if either H = G or it is connected to G by a chain of subgroups of prime indices. In this paper, some structural results of finite groups which are factorised as the product of two ℙ-subnormal subgroups is showed.
