Elementary Result

Let G be a finite group of odd order with an automorphism θ of order 2. (We use without further reference the fact, established by W. Feit and J. G. Thompson, that all groups of odd order are soluble.) Let Gθ denote the subgroup of G formed by the elements fixed under θ. It is an elementary result that if Gθ = 1 then G is abelian. But if we merely postulate that Gθ be cyclic, the structure of G may be considerably more complicated—indeed G may have arbitrarily large soluble length.

A Finite Group

Let G denote a finite group with a fixed-point-free automorphism of prime order p. Then it is known (see [3] and [8]) that G is nilpotent of class bounded by an integer k(p). From this it follows that the length of the derived series of G is also bounded. Let l(p) denote the least upper bound of the length of the derived series of a group with a fixed-point-free automorphism of order p. The results to be proved here may now be stated: Theorem 1. Let G denote a soluble group of finite order and A an abelian group of automorphisms of G. Suppose that (a) ∣G∣ is relatively prime to ∣A∣; (b) GAis nilpotent and normal inGω, for all ω ∈ A#; (c) the Sylow 2-subgroup of G is abelian; and (d) if q is a prime number andqk+ 1 divides the exponent of A for some integer k then the Sylow q-subgroup of G is abelian.

Automorphisms Of Groups

Let G be a finite group of odd order with an automorphism ω of order 2. The Feit-Thompson theorem implies that G is soluble and this is assumed throughout the paper. Let Gω denote the subgroup of G consisting of those elements fixed by ω. If F(G) denotes the Fitting subgroup of G then the upper Fitting series of G is defined by F1(G) = F(G) and Fr+1(G) = the inverse image in G of F(G/Fr(G)). G(r) denotes the rth derived group of G. The principal result of this paper may now be stated as follows: THEOREM 1. Let G be a group of odd order with an automorphism ω of order 2. Suppose that Gω is nilpotent, and that G(r)ω = 1. Then G(r) is nilpotent and G = F3(G).

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 finite group [Formula: see text] is called a Schur group if any [Formula: see text]-ring over [Formula: see text] is associated in a natural way with a subgroup of [Formula: see text] that contains all right translations. We prove that the groups [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], are Schur. Modulo previously obtained results, it follows that every noncyclic Schur [Formula: see text]-group, where [Formula: see text] is an odd prime, is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text].

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.

AbstractLet k be a complex number and let u be an element of a finite group G. Suppose that u does not belong to O(G), the maximal normal subgroup of G of odd order. It is shown that G satisfies X(1) – X(u) = k for every complex nonprincipal irreducible character X in the principal 2-block of G if and only if G/O(G) is isomorphic either to C2, a cyclic group of order 2, or to PSL (2, 2n), n ≧ 2.

Let $G$ be a finite group with two primitive permutation representations on the sets $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ be the corresponding permutation characters. We consider the case in which the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ coincides with the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$, that is, for every $g\in G$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(g)=0$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}(g)=0$. We have conjectured in Spiga [‘Permutation characters and fixed-point-free elements in permutation groups’, J. Algebra299(1) (2006), 1–7] that under this hypothesis either $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ or one of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ is a genuine character. In this paper we give evidence towards the veracity of this conjecture when the socle of $G$ is a sporadic simple group or an alternating group. In particular, the conjecture is reduced to the case of almost simple groups of Lie type.

It is shown that a condition of Kurzwell concerning fixed-points of certain operators on a finite group G is sufficient to ensure that G is soluble. The result generalizes those of Martineau on elementary abelian fixed-point-free operator groups.

Abstract We establish, in the setting of equivariant motivic homotopy theory for a finite group, a version of tom Dieck’s splitting theorem for the fixed points of a suspension spectrum. Along the way we establish structural results and constructions for equivariant motivic homotopy theory of independent interest. This includes geometric fixed-point functors and the motivic Adams isomorphism.
