AbstractWe consider finite groups in which, for all primes p, the p-part of the length of any conjugacy class is trivial or fixed. We obtain a full description in the case in which for each prime divisor p of the order of the group there exists a noncentral conjugacy class of p-power size.

Let G be a finite group, F a free group of finite rank, R the kernel of a homomorphism φ of F onto G, and let [R, F], [R, R] denote mutual commutator subgroups. Conjugation in F yields a G-module structure on R/[R, R] let dg(R/[R, R]) be the number of elements required to generate this module. Define d(R/[R, F]) similarly. By an earlier result of the first author, for a fixed G, the difference dG(R/[R, R]) − d(R/[R, F]) is independent of the choice of F and φ; here it is called the proficiency gap of G. If this gap is 0, then G is said to be proficient. It has been more usual to consider dF(R), the number of elements required to generate R as normal subgroup of F: the group G has been called efficient if F and φ can be chosen so that dF(R) = dG(R/[R, F]). An efficient group is necessarily proficient; but (though usually expressed in different terms) the converse has been an open question for some time.

AbstractWe prove that the determination of all $M^*$-groups is essentially equivalent to the determination of finite groups generated by an element of order 3 and an element of order 2 or 3 that admit a particular automorphism. We also show how the second commutator subgroup of an $M^*$-group $G$ can often be used to construct $M^*$-groups which are direct products with $G$ as one factor. Several applications of both methods are given.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20D45; 20E36. Secondary 14H37; 30F50
