AbstractLetGbe a finite group. In this paper we obtain some sufficient conditions for the supersolubility ofGwith two supersoluble non-conjugate subgroupsHandKof prime index, not necessarily distinct. It is established that the supersoluble residual of such a group coincides with the nilpotent residual of the derived subgroup. We prove thatGis supersoluble in the following cases: one of the subgroupsHorKis nilpotent; the derived subgroup{G^{\prime}}ofGis nilpotent;{|G:H|=q>r=|G:K|}andHis normal inG. Also the supersolubility ofGwith two non-conjugate maximal subgroupsMandVis obtained in the following cases: all Sylow subgroups ofMand ofVare seminormal inG; all maximal subgroups ofMand ofVare seminormal inG.

In this note relations between the structure of a finite group G and ringtheoretical properties of the group algebra FG over a field F with characteristic p > 0 are investigated. Denoting by J(R) the Jacobson radical and by Z(R) the centre of the ring R, our aim is to prove the following theorem generalizing results of Wallace [10] and Spiegel [9]:Theorem. Let G be a finite group and let F be an arbitrary field of characteristic p > 0. Denoting by BL the principal block ideal of the group algebra FG the following statements are equivalent:(i) J(B1) ≤ Z(B1)(ii) J(B1)is commutative,(iii) G is p-nilpotent with abelian Sylowp-subgroups.

The last term of the lower central series of a finite group $G$ is called the nilpotent residual. It is usually denoted by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{\infty }(G)$. The lower Fitting series of $G$ is defined by $D_{0}(G)=G$ and $D_{i+1}(G)=\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{\infty }(D_{i}(G))$ for $i=0,1,2,\ldots \,$. These subgroups are generated by so-called coprime commutators $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{k}^{\ast }$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{k}^{\ast }$ in elements of $G$. More precisely, the set of coprime commutators $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{k}^{\ast }$ generates $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{\infty }(G)$ whenever $k\geq 2$ while the set $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{k}^{\ast }$ generates $D_{k}(G)$ for $k\geq 0$. The main result of this article is the following theorem: let $m$ be a positive integer and $G$ a finite group. Let $X\subset G$ be either the set of all $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{k}^{\ast }$-commutators for some fixed $k\geq 2$ or the set of all $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{k}^{\ast }$-commutators for some fixed $k\geq 1$. Suppose that the size of $a^{X}$ is at most $m$ for any $a\in G$. Then the order of $\langle X\rangle$ is $(k,m)$-bounded.

Let [Formula: see text] be an element of a group [Formula: see text]. For a positive integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the subgroup generated by all commutators [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is repeated [Formula: see text] times. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is a profinite group such that for every [Formula: see text] there is [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is finite, then [Formula: see text] has a finite normal subgroup [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is locally nilpotent. The proof uses the Wilson–Zelmanov theorem saying that Engel profinite groups are locally nilpotent. In the case of a finite group [Formula: see text], we prove that if, for some [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text], then the order of the nilpotent residual [Formula: see text] is bounded in terms of [Formula: see text].

For a finite group G, let cd(G) be the set of irreducible complex character degrees of G forgetting multiplicities and X1(G) be the set of all irreducible complex character degrees of G counting multiplicities. Suppose that p is a prime number. We prove that if G is a finite group such that |G| = |PGL(2,p) |, p ? cd(G) and max(cd(G)) = p+1, then G ? PGL(2,p), SL(2, p) or PSL(2,p) x A, where A is a cyclic group of order (2, p-1). Also, we show that if G is a finite group with X1(G) = X1(PGL(2,pn)), then G ? PGL(2, pn). In particular, this implies that PGL(2, pn) is uniquely determined by the structure of its complex group algebra.

AbstractG. Navarro raised the question of when two vertices of two indecomposable modules over a finite group algebra generate a Sylow p-subgroup. The present note provides a sufficient criterion for this to happen. This generalises a result by Navarro for simple modules over finite p-solvable groups, which is the main motivation for this note.

It is a well known theorem of Gaschütz (4) and Schenkman (12) that if G is a finite group whose nilpotent residual A is Abelian, then G splits over A and the complements to A in G are conjugate. Following Robinson (10) we describe this situation by saying that G splits conjugately over A. A number of generalizations of this result have since been obtained, some of them being in the context of the formation theory of finite or locally finite groups (see, for example, (1), (3)) and others, for example, the recent and far-reaching results of Robinson (10, 11) being concerned with groups which are not necessarily periodic. Our results here are of the latter type.

We give a description of the primitive central idempotents of the rational group algebra ℚG of a finite group G. Such a description is already investigated by Jespers, Olteanu and del Río, but some unknown scalars are involved. Our description also gives answers to their questions.
