In an earlier paper (2) we considered the following question “If S is a cyclic subgroup of a finite group G and S ∩ F(G) = 1, where F(G) is the Fitting subgroup of G, does there necessarily exist a conjugate Sx of S in G with S ∩ Sx = l?” and we gave an affirmative answer for G simple or soluble. In this paper we answer the question affirmatively in general (in fact we prove a somewhat stronger result (Theorem 3)). We give an example of a group G with a cyclic subgroup S such that (i) no nontrivial subgroup of S is normal in G and (ii) no x exists for which S ∩ Sx = 1.

In [3] Laffey has shown that if Z is a cyclic subgroup of a finite subgroup G, then either a nontrivial subgroup of Z is normal in the Fitting subgroup F(G) or there exists a g in G such that Zg∩Z = 1. In this note we offer a simple proof of the following generalisation of that result:Theorem. Let G be a finite group and X and Y cyclic subgroups of G. Then there exists a g in G such that Xg∩Y⊴F(G).

In this paper, it is shown that a finite group G is always supersolvable if |NG(H) : H| ≤ 2 for every non-cyclic subgroup H of G of prime-power order. Also, finite groups with all supersolvable non-cyclic subgroups being self-normalizing, and finite p-groups with all non-cyclic proper subgroups being of prime index in their normalizers are completely classified.

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].

We give a formula for the subgroup normality degree [Formula: see text] of a subgroup [Formula: see text] in a finite group [Formula: see text], and determine subgroup normality degrees in the case where [Formula: see text] is a finite [Formula: see text]-group of order [Formula: see text] or a finite [Formula: see text]-group with a cyclic subgroup of index [Formula: see text].

Let $C(G)$ be the poset of cyclic subgroups of a finite group $G$ and let $\mathscr{P}$ be the class of $p$ -groups of order  $p^{n}$ ( $n\geq 3$ ). Consider the function $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}:\mathscr{P}\longrightarrow (0,1]$ given by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}(G)=|C(G)|/|G|$ . In this paper, we determine the second minimum value of  $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ , as well as the corresponding minimum points. Since the problem of finding the second maximum value of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ has been solved for $p=2$ , we focus on the case of odd primes in determining the second maximum.

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.

AbstractThe commutativity degree of a finite group is the probability that two randomly chosen group elements commute. The object of this paper is to compute the commutativity degree of a class of finite groups obtained by semidirect product of two finite abelian groups. As a byproduct of our result, we provide an affirmative answer to an open question posed by Lescot.

AbstractLet ℨ be a complete set of Sylow subgroups of a finite group G; that is to say for each prime p dividing the order of G, ℨ contains one and only one Sylow p-subgroup of G. A subgroup H of G is said to be ℨ-permutable in G if H permutes with every member of ℨ. In this paper we characterise the structure of finite groups G with the assumption that (1) all the subgroups of Gp ∈ ℨ are ℨ-permutable in G, for all prime p ∈ π(G), or (2) all the subgroups of Gp ∩ F*(G) are ℨ-permutable in G, for all Gp ∈ ℨ and p ∈ π(G), where F*(G) is the generalised Fitting subgroup of G.

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.
