Based on the theory of p-supersoluble and supersoluble groups, a prime-number parametrized family of canonical characteristic subgroups Γp(G) and their intersection Γ(G) is introduced in every finite group G and some of its properties are studied. Special interest is dedicated to an elementwise description of the largest p-nilpotent normal subgroup of Γp(G) and of the Fitting subgroup of Γ(G).

Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. Then 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. Then we say that H is nearly S-quasinormal in G if G has an S-quasinormal subgroup T such that HT = G and T ∩ H ≤ HsG. Our main result here is the following theorem. Let [Formula: see text] be a saturated formation containing all supersoluble groups and G a group with a normal subgroup E such that [Formula: see text]. Suppose that every non-cyclic Sylow subgroup P of E has a subgroup D such that 1 < |D| < |P| and all subgroups H of P with order |H| = |D| and every cyclic subgroup of P with order 4 (if |D| = 2 and P is a non-abelian 2-group) having no supersoluble supplement in G are nearly S-quasinormal in G. Then [Formula: see text].

AbstractA group G is n-central if Gn ≤ Z(G), that is the subgroup of G generated by n-powers of G lies in the centre of G. We investigate pk-central groups for p a prime number. For G a finite group of exponent pk, the covering group of G is pk-central. Using this we show that the exponent of the Schur multiplier of G is bounded by $p^{\lceil \frac{c}{p-1} \rceil}$, where c is the nilpotency class of G. Next we give an explicit bound for the order of a finite pk-central p-group of coclass r. Lastly, we establish that for G, a finite p-central p-group, and N, a proper non-maximal normal subgroup of G, the Tate cohomology Hn(G/N, Z(N)) is non-trivial for all n. This final statement answers a question of Schmid concerning groups with non-trivial Tate cohomology.

Let $K$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$ . The probability that an element of $G$ commutes with an element of $K$ is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$ . Assume that $Pr(K,G)\geq \epsilon$ for some fixed $\epsilon >0$ . We show that there is a normal subgroup $T\leq G$ and a subgroup $B\leq K$ such that the indices $[G:T]$ and $[K:B]$ and the order of the commutator subgroup $[T,B]$ are $\epsilon$ -bounded. This extends the well-known theorem, due to P. M. Neumann, that covers the case where $K=G$ . We deduce a number of corollaries of this result. A typical application is that if $K$ is the generalized Fitting subgroup $F^{*}(G)$ then $G$ has a class-2-nilpotent normal subgroup $R$ such that both the index $[G:R]$ and the order of the commutator subgroup $[R,R]$ are $\epsilon$ -bounded. In the same spirit we consider the cases where $K$ is a term of the lower central series of $G$ , or a Sylow subgroup, etc.

Abstract Given a finite group G with a normal subgroup N, the simple graph $\Gamma _{\textit {G}}( \textit {N} )$ is a graph whose vertices are of the form $|x^G|$ , where $x\in {N\setminus {Z(G)}}$ and $x^G$ is the G-conjugacy class of N containing the element x. Two vertices $|x^G|$ and $|y^G|$ are adjacent if they are not coprime. We prove that, if $\Gamma _G(N)$ is a connected incomplete regular graph, then $N= P \times {A}$ where P is a p-group, for some prime p, $A\leq {Z(G)}$ and $\textbf {Z}(N)\not = N\cap \textbf {Z}(G)$ .

AbstractA subgroup $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be S-semipermutable in $G$ if $H$ permutes with every Sylow $q$-subgroup of $G$ for all primes $q$ not dividing $|H |$. A finite group $G$ is an MS-group if the maximal subgroups of all the Sylow subgroups of $G$ are S-semipermutable in $G$. The aim of the present paper is to characterise the finite MS-groups.

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〉.

A subgroup H is called c-normal in a group G if there exists a normal subgroup N of G such that HN = G and H∩N ≤ HG, where HG =: Core(H) = ∩g∈GHg is the maximal normal subgroup of G which is contained in H. We use a result on primitive groups and the c-normality of maximal subgroups of a finite group G to obtain results about the influence of the set of maximal subgroups on the structure of G.

Let K be a field, G a finite group, V a (right) KG-module. If H is a subgroup of G, then, restricting the action of G on V to H, V is also a KH-module. Notation: VH.Suppose N is a normal subgroup of G. The KN-module VN is not irreducible in general, even when V is irreducible as KG-module. A part of the well-known theorem of A. H. Clifford [1, V.17.3] yields the following.

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.

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, p′ are joined by an edge if there is an element in G of order pp′. In [G. Y. Chen et al., Recognition of the finite almost simple groups PGL2(q) by their spectrum, Journal of Group Theory, 10 (2007) 71–85], it is proved that PGL(2, pk), where p is an odd prime and k > 1 is an integer, is recognizable by its spectrum. It is proved that if p > 19 is a prime number which is not a Mersenne or Fermat prime and Γ(G) = Γ(PGL(2, p)), then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor which is isomorphic to PSL(2, p). In this paper as the main result, we show that if p is an odd prime and k > 1 is an odd integer, then PGL(2, pk) is uniquely determined by its prime graph and so these groups are characterizable by their prime graphs.
