Let G be a finite group and let k be a field. We determine the smallest possible rank of a free kG-module that contains submodules of every possible dimension. As an application, we obtain various criteria for the wreath product of two finite groups to be a CLT-group.

Perhaps unexpectedly, there is a rich and deep connection between field of values of characters, their degrees and the structure of a finite group. Some of the fundamental results on the degrees of characters of finite groups, as the Ito–Michler and Thompson's theorems, admit a version involving only characters with certain fixed field of values ([DNT, NS, NST2, NT1, NT3]).

For a finite group [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the character-graph which is built on the set of irreducible complex character degrees of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we wish to determine the structure of finite groups [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is 1-connected with nonbipartite complement. Also, we classify all 1-connected graphs with nonbipartite complement that can occur as the character-graph [Formula: see text] of a finite group [Formula: see text].

Let p be a fixed prime, G a finite group and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. The main results of this paper are as follows: (1) If gcd (p-1, |G|) = 1 and p2 does not divide |xG| for any p′-element x of prime power order, then G is a solvable p-nilpotent group and a Sylow p-subgroup of G/Op(G) is elementary abelian. (2) Suppose that G is p-solvable. If pp-1 does not divide |xG| for any element x of prime power order, then the p-length of G is at most one. (3) Suppose that G is p-solvable. If pp-1 does not divide χ(1) for any χ ∈ Irr (G), then both the p-length and p′-length of G are at most 2.

AbstractThe classical Itô-Michler theorem on character degrees of finite groups asserts that if the degree of every complex irreducible character of a finite group G is coprime to a given prime p, then G has a normal Sylow p-subgroup. We propose a new direction to generalize this theorem by introducing an invariant concerning character degrees. We show that if the average degree of linear and even-degree irreducible characters of G is less than 4/3 then G has a normal Sylow 2-subgroup, as well as corresponding analogues for real-valued characters and strongly real characters. These results improve on several earlier results concerning the Itô-Michler theorem.

Geoffrey Robinson conjectured in 1996 that the $p$-part of character degrees in a $p$-block of a finite group can be bounded in terms of the center of a defect group of the block. We prove this conjecture for all primes $p\neq 2$ for all finite groups. Our argument relies on a reduction by Murai to the case of quasi-simple groups which are then studied using deep results on blocks of finite reductive groups.

AbstractLet $K$ be a field of characteristic $p$ and let $G$ be a finite group of order divisible by $p$. The regularity conjecture states that the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the cohomology ring $H^*(G,K)$ is always equal to 0. We prove that if the regularity conjecture holds for a finite group $H$, then it holds for the wreath product $H\wr\mathbb{Z}/p$. As a corollary, we prove the regularity conjecture for the symmetric groups $\varSigma_n$. The significance of this is that it is the first set of examples for which the regularity conjecture has been checked, where the difference between the Krull dimension and the depth of the cohomology ring is large. If this difference is at most 2, the regularity conjecture is already known to hold by previous work.For more general wreath products, we have not managed to prove the regularity conjecture. Instead we prove a weaker statement: namely, that the dimensions of the cohomology groups are polynomial on residue classes (PORC) in the sense of Higman.

Abstract Let G be a finite group, p a prime and {c\in\{0,1,\ldots,p-1\}} . Suppose that the degree of every nonlinear irreducible character of G is congruent to c modulo p. If here {c=0} , then G has a normal p-complement by a well known theorem of Thompson. We prove that in the cases where {c\neq 0} the group G is solvable with a normal abelian Sylow p-subgroup. If {p\neq 3} then this is true provided these character degrees are congruent to c or to {-c} modulo p.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and let [Formula: see text] be the set of all irreducible character degrees of [Formula: see text]. We consider finite groups [Formula: see text] with the property that [Formula: see text] has at most two composite members. We derive a bound 6 for the size of character degree sets of such groups. There are examples in both solvable and nonsolvable groups where this bound is met. In the case of nonsolvable groups, we are able to determine the structure of such groups with [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe calculate the exact amenability constant of the centre of ℓ1(G) when G is a finite group and is either dihedral, extraspecial, or Frobenius with abelian complement and kernel. This is done using a formula that applies to all finite groups with two character degrees. In passing, we answer in the negative a question raised in work of the third author with Azimifard and Spronk.

Abstract A subgroup H of a finite group G is called weakly pronormal in G if there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = H K G=HK and H ∩ K H\cap K is pronormal in G. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the finite groups in which some subgroups are weakly pronormal. Our results improve and generalize many known results.
