A Finite Group

AbstractWe observe that a solvability criterion for finite groups, conjectured by Miller [The product of two or more groups, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.12 (1911)] and Hall [A characteristic property of soluble groups, J. London Math. Soc.12 (1937)] and proved by Thompson [Nonsolvable finite groups all of whose local subgroups are solvable, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.74(3) (1968)], can be sharpened as follows: a finite group is nonsolvable if and only if it has a nontrivial 2-element and an odd p-element, such that the order of their product is not divisible by either 2 or p. We also prove a solvability criterion involving conjugates of odd p-elements. Finally, we define, via a condition on products of p-elements with p′-elements, a formation Pp,p′, for each prime p. We show that P2,2′ (which contains the odd-order groups) is properly contained in the solvable formation.

M. Suzuki [3] has proved the following theorem. Let G be a finite group which has an involution t such that C = CG(t) ≅ SL(2, q) and q odd. Then G has an abelian odd order normal subgroup A such that G = CA and C ∩ A = 〈1〉.

In [8] I. N. Herstein conjectured that all the finite odd order sub-groups of the multiplicative group in a division ring are cyclic. This conjecture was proved false in general by S. A. Amitsur in [1]. In his paper Amitsur classifies all finite groups which can appear as a multiplicative subgroup of a division ring. Let D be a division ring with prime field k and let G be a finite group isomorphic to a multiplicative subgroup of D.

AbstractWe study an impartial game introduced by Anderson and Harary. The game is played by two players who alternately choose previously-unselected elements of a finite group. The first player who builds a generating set from the jointly-selected elements wins. We determine the nim-numbers of this game for finite groups of the form{T\times H}, whereTis a 2-group andHis a group of odd order. This includes all nilpotent and hence abelian groups.

A Finite Group

In this paper finite groups with the property M, that every maximal subgroup has prime or prime square index, are investigated. A short but ingenious argument was given by P. Hall which showed that such groups are solvable.B. Huppert showed that a finite group with the property M, that every maximal subgroup has prime index, is supersolvable, i.e. the chief factors are of prime order. We prove here, as a corollary of a more precise result, that if G has property M and is of odd order, then the chief factors of G are of prime or prime square order. The even-order case is different. For every odd prime p and positive integer m we shall construct a group of order 2apb with property M which has a chief factor of order larger than m.

Original Theorem

Abstract Theorem C in [S. Dolfi, M. Herzog, G. Kaplan and A. Lev, The size of the solvable residual in finite groups, Groups Geom. Dyn. 1 (2007), 4, 401–407] asserts that, in a finite group with trivial Fitting subgroup, the size of the soluble residual of the group is bounded from below by a certain power of the group order and that the inequality is sharp. Inspired by this result and some of the arguments in the above article, we establish the following generalisation: if 𝔛 is a subgroup-closed Fitting formation of full characteristic which does not contain all finite groups and X ¯ \overline{\mathfrak{X}} is the extension-closure of 𝔛, then there exists an (explicitly known and optimal) constant 𝛾 depending only on 𝔛 such that, for all non-trivial finite groups 𝐺 with trivial 𝔛-radical, | G X ¯ | > | G | γ \lvert G^{\overline{\mathfrak{X}}}\rvert>\lvert G\rvert^{\gamma} , where G X ¯ G^{\overline{\mathfrak{X}}} is the X ¯ \overline{\mathfrak{X}} -residual of 𝐺. When X = N \mathfrak{X}=\mathfrak{N} , the class of finite nilpotent groups, it follows that X ¯ = S \overline{\mathfrak{X}}=\mathfrak{S} , the class of finite soluble groups; thus we recover the original theorem of Dolfi, Herzog, Kaplan, and Lev. In the last section of our paper, building on J. G. Thompson’s classification of minimal simple groups, we exhibit a family of subgroup-closed Fitting formations 𝔛 of full characteristic such that S ⊂ X ¯ ⊂ E \mathfrak{S}\subset\overline{\mathfrak{X}}\subset\mathfrak{E} , where 𝔈 denotes the class of all finite groups, thus providing applications of our main result beyond the reach of the above theorem.

A Finite Group

The theory of formations of soluble groups, developed by Gaschütz [4], Carter and Hawkes[1], provides fairly general methods for investigating canonical full conjugate sets of subgroups in finite, soluble groups. Those methods, however, cannot be applied to the class of all finite groups, since strong use was made of the Theorem of Galois on primitive soluble groups. Nevertheless, there is a possiblity to extend the results of the above mentioned papers to the case of Π-soluble groups as defined by Čunihin [2]. A finite group G is called Π-soluble, if, for a given set it of primes, the indices of a composition series of G are either primes belonging to It or they are not divisible by any prime of Π In this paper, we shall frequently use the following result of Čunihin [2]: Ift is a non-empty set of primes, Π′ its complement in the set of all primes, and G is a Π-soluble group, then there always exist Hall Π-subgroups and Hall ′-subgroups, constituting single conjugate sets of subgroups of G respectively, each It-subgroup of G contained in a Hall Π-subgroup of G where each ′-subgroup of G is contained in a Hall Π′-subgroup of G. All groups considered in this paper are assumed to be finite and Π-soluble. A Hall Π-subgroup of a group G will be denoted by G.

For a non-empty class of groups L, a finite group G=AB is said to be an L-connected product of the subgroups A and B if ⟨a,b⟩∈L for all a∈A and b∈B. In a previous paper, we prove that, for such a product, when L=S is the class of finite soluble groups, then [A,B] is soluble. This generalizes the theorem of Thompson that states the solubility of finite groups whose two-generated subgroups are soluble. In the present paper, our result is applied to extend to finite groups previous research about finite groups in the soluble universe. In particular, we characterize connected products for relevant classes of groups, among others, the class of metanilpotent groups and the class of groups with nilpotent derived subgroup. Additionally, we give local descriptions of relevant subgroups of finite groups.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and [Formula: see text] be a prime. In this note, we show that if [Formula: see text] and all subgroups of [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text] are conjugate, then either [Formula: see text] has a [Formula: see text]-block of defect zero, or [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a direct product of a simple group [Formula: see text] and an odd order group. This improves one of our previous works.

AbstractWe extend a finite group solvability criterion of J. G. Thompson, based on his classification of finite minimal simple groups, to a prosolvability criterion. Moreover, we generalize to the profinite setting subsequent developments of Thompson's criterion by G. Kaplan and the second author, which recast it in terms of properties of sequences of Sylow subgroups and their products. This generalization also encompasses a possible characterization of the prosolvable radical whose scope of validity is still open even for finite groups. We prove that if this characterization is valid for finite groups, then it carries through to profinite groups.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. We say that an element [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is a vanishing element if there exists some irreducible character [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups whose vanishing elements are of odd order.
