AbstractFor a finite group G, we denote by μ(G) the minimum degree of a faithful permutation representation of G. We prove that if G is a finite p-group with an abelian maximal subgroup, then μ(G/G′)≤μ(G).

The power graph [Formula: see text] of a finite group [Formula: see text] is the undirected simple graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is an integral power of the other. For an integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the cyclic group of order [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the number of distinct prime divisors of [Formula: see text]. The minimum degree [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is known for [Formula: see text], see [R. P. Panda and K. V. Krishna, On the minimum degree, edge-connectivity and connectivity of power graphs of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 46(7) (2018) 3182–3197]. For [Formula: see text], under certain conditions involving the prime divisors of [Formula: see text], we identify at most [Formula: see text] vertices such that [Formula: see text] is equal to the degree of at least one of these vertices. If [Formula: see text], or that [Formula: see text] is a product of distinct primes, we are able to identify two such vertices without any condition on the prime divisors of [Formula: see text].

AbstractA subgroup H is called weakly -supplemented in a finite group G if there exists a subgroup B of G provided that (1) G = HB, and (2) if H1/HG is a maximal subgroup of H/HG, then H1B = BH1 < G, where HG is the largest normal subgroup of G contained in H. In this paper we will prove the following: Let G be a finite group and P be a Sylow p-subgroup of G, where p is the smallest prime divisor of |G|. Suppose that P has a non-trivial proper subgroup D such that all subgroups E of P with order |D| and 2|D| (if P is a non-abelian 2-group, |P : D| > 2 and there exists D1 ⊴ E ≤ P with 2|D1| = |D| and E/D1 is cyclic of order 4) have p-nilpotent supplement or weak -supplement in G, then G is p-nilpotent.

Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. H is said to be S-quasinormal in G if HP = PH for all Sylow subgroups P of G. Let HsG be the subgroup of H generated by all those subgroups of H which are S-quasinormal in G and HsG the intersection of all S-quasinormal subgroups of G containing H. The symbol |G|p denotes the order of a Sylow p-subgroup of G. We prove the followingTheorem A. Let G be a finite group and p a prime dividing |G|. Then G is p-supersoluble if and only if for every cyclic subgroup H ofḠ (G) of prime order or order 4 (if p = 2), Ḡhas a normal subgroup T such thatHsḠandH∩T=HsḠ∩T.Theorem B. A soluble finite group G is p-supersoluble if and only if for every 2-maximal subgroup E of G such that Op′ (G) ≦ E and |G: E| is not a power of p, G has an S-quasinormal subgroup T with cyclic Sylow p-subgroups such that EsG = ET and |E ∩ T|p = |EsG ∩ T|p.Theorem C. A finite group G is p-soluble if for every 2-maximal subgroup E of G such that Op′ (G) ≦ E and |G: E| is not a power of p, G has an S-quasinormal subgroup T such that EsG = ET and |E ∩ Tp = |EsG ∩ T|p.

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.

Let G be a finite group with a nilpotent maximal subgroup S and let P denote the 2-Sylow subgroup of S. It is shown that if P ∩ Q is a normal subgroup of P for any 2-Sylow subgroup Q of G, then G is solvable.

This note is a continuation of the author's work [6], describing the structure of a finite group given some information about the distribution of the subnormal subgroups in the lattice of all subgoups.DEFINITION. An upper chain of length n in the finite group G is a sequence of subgroups of G; G = Go > G1 > … > Gn, such that for each i, Gi is a maximal subgroup of Gi-1. Let h(G) = n if every upper chain in G of length n contains a proper ( ≠ G) subnormal entry, and there is at least one upper chain in G of length (n – 1) which contains no proper subnormal entry.

Nilpotent injectors exist in all finite groups.For every Fitting class F of finite groups (see [2]), InjF(G) denotes the set of all H ≤ G such that for each N ⊴ ⊴ G , H ∩ N is an F -maximal subgroup of N (that is, belongs to F and i s maximal among the subgroups of N with this property). Let W and N* denote the Fitting class of all nilpotent and quasi-nilpotent groups, respectively. (For the basic properties of quasi-nilpotent groups, and of the N*-radical F*(G) of a finite group G3 the reader is referred to [5].,X. %13; we shall use these properties without further reference.) Blessenohl and H. Laue have shown in CJ] that for every finite group G, InjN*(G) = {H ≤ G | H ≥ F*(G) N*-maximal in G} is a non-empty conjugacy class of subgroups of G. More recently, Iranzo and Perez-Monasor have verified InjN(G) ≠ Φ for all finite groups G satisfying G = CG(E(G))E(G) (see [6]), and have extended this result to a somewhat larger class M of finite groups C(see [7]). One checks, however, that M does not contain all finite groups; for example, S5 ε M.

For a positive integer n, we denote by π(n) the set of all prime divisors of n. For a finite group G, the set [Formula: see text] is called the prime spectrum of G. Let [Formula: see text] mean that M is a maximal subgroup of G. We put [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this notice, using well-known number-theoretical results, we present a number of examples to show that both K(G) and k(G) are unbounded in general. This implies that the problem “Are k(G) and K(G) bounded by some constant k?”, raised by Monakhov and Skiba in 2016, is solved in the negative.

AbstractLet G be a finite group and let ℱ be a class of groups. Then Zℱϕ(G) is the ℱϕ-hypercentre of G, which is the product of all normal subgroups of G whose non-Frattini G-chief factors are ℱ-central in G. A subgroup H is called ℳ-supplemented in a finite group G if there exists a subgroup B of G such that G = HB and H1B is a proper subgroup of G for any maximal subgroup H1 of H. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following: Let E be a normal subgroup of a group G. Suppose that every noncyclic Sylow subgroup P of F*(E) has a subgroup D such that 1 < |D| < |P| and every subgroup H of P with order |H| = |D| is 𝓜-supplemented in G, then E ≤ Zuϕ(G).

For a finite group $G$ , let $d(G)$ denote the minimal number of elements required to generate $G$ . In this paper, we prove sharp upper bounds on $d(H)$ whenever $H$ is a maximal subgroup of a finite almost simple group. In particular, we show that $d(H)\leqslant 5$ and that $d(H)\geqslant 4$ if and only if $H$ occurs in a known list. This improves a result of Burness, Liebeck and Shalev. The method involves the theory of crowns in finite groups.
