New scientific nonprofit association and journal «AGTA – Advances in Group Theory and Applications»

Dear friends,

I would like to let you know that, following the experience of the series of conferences «Advances in Group Theory and Applications», the scientific nonprofit association

«AGTA – Advances in Group Theory and Applications»

has been founded  last July. The society aims to promote and disseminate the scientific culture and the research in group theory and its applications, and it wishes to become a reference point for young people intending to start research on this subject, regardless of their geographical origin. To achieve this purpose, AGTA organizes international conferences and publishes a new journal devoted to group theory and its applications, with title

«Advances in Group Theory and Applications»

The first issue of the journal is scheduled for the first half of 2016. Our journal will be printed, but also available in open access modality on the web site of the society. There are no publication processing charges, since all costs associated with the publication and production are covered by AGTA. Papers are accepted after a rigorous peer-review process.

Attached to this message you find the flyer, while the web page of the journal can be found at

www.advgrouptheory.com/journal

I am inviting you to visit also the web site of the society at the address

www.advgrouptheory.com

where you can find informations on the next group theory conferences, and news, historical documents and pictures which can be of interest to members of the group theory community.

Best regards, Francesco

A bound on the p-length of p-solvable groups

Abstract

Let G be a finite p-solvable group and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Suppose that $\gamma_{\ell (p-1)}(P)\subseteq \gamma_r(P)^{p^s}$ for ℓ(p−1) < r + s(p − 1), then the p-length is bounded by a function depending on ℓ.

On the intersection of certain maximal subgroups of a finite group

J. Group Theory, 17 (2014), 705–715

http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/jgt-2013-0052

Abstract:  Let $\Delta(G)$ denote the intersection of all non-normal maximal subgroups of a group G. We introduce the class of T2-groups which are defined as the groups G for which $G/\Delta(G)$ is a T-group, that is, a group in which normality is a transitive relation. Several results concerning the class T2 are discussed. In particular, if G is a solvable group, then Sylow permutability is a transitive relation in G if and only if every subgroup H of G is a T2-group such that the nilpotent residual of H is a Hall subgroup of H.

Abstract:
The main aim of this paper is to give structural information of a finite group of minimal order belonging to a subgroup-closed class of finite groups and whose p-length is greater than 1, p a prime number. Alternative proofs and improvements of recent results about the influence of minimal p-subgroups on the p-nilpotence and p-length of a finite group
arise as consequences of our study.

Abstract

All 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/Φ(G) is a solvable PST-group. Let 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 X-group.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10231-012-0257-y

Abstract

We continue here our study of pairwise mutually and pairwise totally permutable products. We are looking for subgroups of the product in which the given factorization induces a factorization of the subgroup. In the case of soluble groups, it is shown that a prefactorized Carter subgroup and a prefactorized system normalizer exist. A less stringent property have F-residual, F-projector and F-normalizer for any saturated formation F including the supersoluble groups.

Abstract: Subgroup-closed saturated formations F which are closed under taking products of F-subnormal F-subgroups are studied in the paper. Our results can be regarded as further developments in the hunt for a solution of a problem proposed by L.A. Shemetkov in 1999 in the Kourovka Notebook.
