A finite group G is said to have the m-CI property if, for any two Cayley graphs Cay(G, S) and Cay(G, T) of valency m, Cay(G, S) ≅ Cay(G, T) implies Sσ = T for some automorphism σ of G. In this paper, we investigate finite groups with the m-CI property. We first construct groups with the 3-CI property but not with the 2-CI property, and then prove that a nonabelian simple group has the 3-CI property if and only if it is A5. Finally, for infinitely many values of m, we construct Frobenius groups with the m-CI property but not with the nontrivial k-CI property for any k < m.

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined as follows. The vertices of Γ(G) are the primes dividing the order of G and two distinct vertices p, q are joined by an edge if there is an element in G of order pq. It is proved that if p > 11 and p ≢ 1 (mod 12), then PSL(2,p) is uniquely determined by its prime graph. Also it is proved that if p > 7 is a prime number and Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,p2)), then G ≅ PSL(2,p2) or G ≅ PSL(2,p2).2, the non-split extension of PSL(2,p2) by ℤ2. In this paper as the main result we determine finite groups G such that Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,q)), where q = pk. As a consequence of our results we prove that if q = pk, k > 1 is odd and p is an odd prime number, then PSL(2,q) is uniquely determined by its prime graph and so these groups are characterizable by their prime graph.

In this paper, we study the problem of how a finite group can be generated by some subgroups. In order to the finite simple groups, we show that any finite non-abelian simple group can be generated by two Sylow p1 - and p_2 -subgroups, where p_1&nbsp; and p_2&nbsp; are two different primes. We also show that for a given different prime numbers p&nbsp; and q , any finite group can be generated by a Sylow p -subgroup and a q -subgroup.

Let [Formula: see text] be a class of finite simple groups. We say that a finite group [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-group if all composition factors of [Formula: see text] are contained in [Formula: see text]. A group [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-supersoluble if every chief [Formula: see text]-factor of [Formula: see text] is a simple group. In this paper, properties of mutually permutable products of [Formula: see text]-supersoluble finite groups are studied. Some earlier results on mutually permutable products of [Formula: see text]-supersoluble groups (SC-groups) appear as particular cases.

We refer to the set of the orders of elements of a finite group as its spectrum and say that finite groups are isospectral if their spectra coincide. In this paper, we determine all finite groups isospectral to the simple groups [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. In particular, we prove that with just four exceptions, every such finite group is an extension of the initial simple group by a (possibly trivial) field automorphism.

We prove that the spectrum of a Cayley graph over a finite group with a normal generating set S containing with every its element s all generators of the cyclic group 〈s〉 is integral. In particular, a Cayley graph of a 2-group generated by a normal set of involutions is integral. We prove that a Cayley graph over the symmetric group of degree n no less than 2 generated by all transpositions is integral. We find the spectrum of a Cayley graph over the alternating group of degree n no less than 4 with a generating set of 3-cycles of the form (k i j) with fixed k, as {−n+1, 1−n+1, 22 −n+1, …, (n−1)2 −n+1}.

Let P be the class of all finite groups G whose powers GI have no countably infinite factor groups. Neumann and Yamamuro (1) proved that if G is a finite non-Abelian simple group, then G ∈ P. We generalize this result by proving the following theorem.THEOREM. A finite group G ∈ P if and only if G is perfect2. Inheritance properties ofP.P1. If G ∈ P and N is normal in G, then G/N ∈ P.Proof. Since (G/N)I is isomorphic to GI/NI it is clear that factor groups of (G/N)I are isomorphic to factor groups of GI, and hence finite or uncountable.P2. If G = HK, where H ∈ P and K ∈ P, then G ∈ P.Proof. We show that homomorphic images of GI are either finite or uncountable. Let ϕ be a homomorphism of GI. Then GIϕ = (HK)Iϕ = (HI/KI)ϕ = (HIϕ) (KIϕ). Since HIϕ and KIϕ must be finite or uncountable, the conclusion follows.

SynopsisLet J(FG) be the Jacobson radical of the group algebra FG of a finite groupG with a Sylow 3-subgroup which is extra-special of order 27 of exponent 3 over a field F of characteristic 3, and let t(G) be the least positive integer t with J(FG)t = 0. In this paper, we prove that t(G) = 9 if G has a normal subgroup H such that (|G:H|, 3) = 1 and if H is either 3-solvable, SL(3,3) or the Tits simple group 2F4(2)'.

For a finite group G and a subset S of G which does not contain the identity of G, we use Cay(G, S) to denote the Cayley graph of G with respect to S. For a positive integer m, the group G is called a (connected) m-DCI-group if for any (connected) Cayley graphs Cay(G, S) and Cay(G, T) of out-valency at most m, Sσ = T for some σ ∈ Aut(G) whenever Cay(G, S) ≅ Cay(G, T). Let p(G) be the smallest prime divisor of |G|. It was previously shown that each finite group G is a connected m-DCI-group for m ≤ p(G) − 1 but this is not necessarily true for m = p(G). This leads to a natural question: which groups G are connected p(G)-DCI-groups? Here we conjecture that the answer of this question is positive for finite simple groups, that is, finite simple groups are all connected 2-DCI-groups. We verify this conjecture for the linear groups PSL(2, q). Then we prove that a nonabelian simple group G is a 2-DCI-group if and only if G = A5.

Let [Formula: see text] be a group and [Formula: see text] an inverse closed subset of [Formula: see text]. By a Cayley graph [Formula: see text], we mean the graph whose vertex set is the set of elements of [Formula: see text] and two vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if [Formula: see text]. A group [Formula: see text] is called a CI-group if [Formula: see text] for some inverse closed subsets [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] for some automorphism [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. A finite group [Formula: see text] is called a BI-group if [Formula: see text] for some inverse closed subsets [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] for all positive integers [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the set [Formula: see text]. It was asked by László Babai [Spectra of Cayley graphs, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 27 (1979) 180–189] if every finite group is a BI-group; various examples of finite non-BI-groups are presented in [A. Abdollahi and M. Zallaghi, Character sums of Cayley graph, Comm. Algebra 43(12) (2015) 5159–5167]. It is noted in the latter paper that every finite CI-group is a BI-group and all abelian finite groups are BI-groups. However, it is known that there are finite abelian non-CI-groups. Existence of a finite non-abelian BI-group which is not a CI-group is the main question which we study here. We find two non-abelian BI-groups of orders 20 and 42 which are not CI-groups. We also list all BI-groups of orders up to 30.
