A group G is said to be a minimal non-FC group, if G contains an infinite conjugacy class, while every proper subgroup of G merely has finite conjugacy classes. The structure of imperfect minimal non-FC groups is quite well-understood. These groups are in particular locally finite. At the other end of the spectrum, a perfect locally finite minimal non-FC group must be a p-group. And it has been an open question for quite a while now, whether such groups exist or not.

Let $w$ be a group-word. For a group $G$, let $G_{w}$ denote the set of all $w$-values in $G$ and let $w(G)$ denote the verbal subgroup of $G$ corresponding to $w$. The group $G$ is an $FC(w)$-group if the set of conjugates $x^{G_{w}}$ is finite for all $x\in G$. It is known that if $w$ is a concise word, then $G$ is an $FC(w)$-group if and only if $w(G)$ is $FC$-embedded in $G$, that is, the conjugacy class $x^{w(G)}$ is finite for all $x\in G$. There are examples showing that this is no longer true if $w$ is not concise. In the present paper, for an arbitrary word $w$, we show that if $G$ is an $FC(w)$-group, then the commutator subgroup $w(G)^{\prime }$ is $FC$-embedded in $G$. We also establish the analogous result for $BFC(w)$-groups, that is, groups in which the sets $x^{G_{w}}$ are boundedly finite.

AbstractA group $G$ is said to be an $FC$-group if each element of $G$ has only finitely many conjugates, and $G$ is minimal non$FC$ if all its proper subgroups have the property $FC$ but $G$ is not an $FC$-group. It is an open question whether there exists a group of infinite rank which is minimal non$FC$. We consider here groups of infinite rank in which all proper subgroups of infinite rank are $FC$, and prove that in most cases such groups are either $FC$-groups or minimal non$FC$.

AbstractThe product of two subsets C, D of a group is defined as . The power Ce is defined inductively by C0 = {1}, Ce = CCe−1 = Ce−1C. It is known that in the alternating group An, n > 4, there is a conjugacy class C such that CC covers An. On the other hand, there is a conjugacy class D such that not only DD≠An, but even De≠An for e<[n/2]. It may be conjectured that as n ← ∞, almost all classes C satisfy C3 = An. In this article, it is shown that as n ← ∞, almost all classes C satisfy C4 = An.

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 $\textbf {Z}(N)\not = N\cap \textbf {Z}(G)$ .

AbstractThis contribution deals with the thinking of the Buddhist philosopher and Christian theologian Katsumi Takizawa (1909-1984) on incarnation. Firstly, it gives a short biographical and theological introduction to Takizawa, who was influenced not only by the "father" of the so-called dialectical theology, Karl Barth, but also by one of the famous figures of the Kyoto-school, the philosopher Kitaro Nishida.This contribution concentrates, secondly, on Takizawa's the-anthropological re-interpretation of the incarnation. It is argued that for Takizawa incarnation has to be seen as an awakening of the historical Jesus (or other historical phenomena) to what he calls the original fact: the eternal relationship between God and man.Thirdly, this contribution discusses the the-anthropological thinking of Takizawa about incarnation in five short points. Apart from the positive challenges of Takizawa's thinking especially for the theology of Karl Barth, it marks clearly the most thrilling point between Takizawa's thinking on the one side and that of scholars in Barthian theology on the other side. The open question that comes up is if incarnation really can be thought without a historical mediation or mediator, as Takizawa seems to claim.

In this paper, the conjugacy classes of three metabelian groups, namely the Quasi-dihedral group, Dihedral group and Quaternion group of order 16 are computed. The obtained results are then applied to graph theory, more precisely to conjugate graph and conjugacy class graph. Some graph properties such as chromatic number, clique number, dominating number and independent number are found.

W. Gaschutz [5] introduced a conjugacy class of subgroups of a finite soluble group called the prefrattini subgroups. These subgroups have the property that they avoid the complemented chief factors of G and cover the rest. Subsequently, these results were generalized by Hawkes [12], Makan [14; 15] and Chambers [2]. Hawkes [12] and Makan [14] obtained conjugacy classes of subgroups which avoid certain complemented chief factors associated with a saturated formation or a Fischer class. Makan [15] and Chambers [2] showed that if W, D and V are the prefrattini subgroup, 𝔍-normalizer and a strongly pronormal subgroup associated with a Sylow basis S, then any two of W, D and V permute and the products and intersections of these subgroups have an explicit cover-avoidance property.
