Let G be a finite P-group. Denote dim H1 (G, Zp) by d(G) and dimH2(G, Zp) by r(G), then d(G) is the minimal number of generators of G and G has a presentation where F is free on x1, …, xd(G) and R is the normal closure in F of R1, …, Rm. We have always that m ≧ r(G) = d(R/[F, R]) and we say that G belongs to a class, Gp, of the finite pgroups if m = r(G). It is well known (see for example Johnson and Wamsley (1970)) that if G and H are finite p-groups then r(G x H) = r(G) + r(H) + d(G)d(H) and hence G, H∈Gp implies Gx H∈Gp, also it is shown in Wamsley (1972) that if G is any finite pgroup then there exists an H∈Gp such that G x H belongs to Gp. Let G1 = G and Gk = Gk-1 x G then we show in this note that if G is any finite p-group, there exists an integer n(G), such that Gk∈Gp for alal k ≧ n(G).

Mennicke (2) has given a class of three-generator, three-relation finite groups. In this paper we present a further class of three-generator, threerelation groups which we show are finite.The groups presented are defined as:with α|γ| ≠ 1, β|γ| ≠ 1, γ ≠ 0.We prove the following result.THEOREM 1. Each of the groups presented is a finite soluble group.We state the following theorem proved by Macdonald (1).THEOREM 2. G1(α, β, 1) is a finite nilpotent group.1. In this section we make some elementary remarks.

Let G be a finite group of order g, andbe an absolutely irreducible representation of degree fμ over a field of characteristic zero. As is well known, by using Schur's lemma (1), we can prove the following orthogonality relations for the coefficients :1It is easy to conclude from (1) the following orthogonality relations for characters:whereand is 1 or 0 according as t and s are conjugate in G or not, and n(t) is the order of the normalize of t.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and [Formula: see text] a subgroup of [Formula: see text]. We say that [Formula: see text] is an [Formula: see text]-subgroup of [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. We say that [Formula: see text] is weakly [Formula: see text]-embedded in [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] has a normal subgroup [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the normal closure of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. For each prime [Formula: see text] dividing the order of [Formula: see text] let [Formula: see text] be a Sylow [Formula: see text]-subgroup of [Formula: see text]. We fix a subgroup of [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and study the structure of [Formula: see text] under the assumption that every subgroup of [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] is weakly [Formula: see text]-embedded in [Formula: see text]. Our results improve and generalize several recent results in the literature.

Let M be a finite quasigroup of order n. For any integer k ≥ 2, let H(k, M) be the smallest positive integer h such that there exist h subsets Ai (i = 1, 2, …, h) such that Ai … Ah = M and |Ai| = k for every i = 1, 2, …, h. Define H(k, n) = max H(k, M). It is proved in this paper that.

1·1. Groups of the first kind. In [11], Patterson proved a hyperbolic space analogue of Khintchine's theorem on simultaneous Diophantine approximation. In order to state Patterson's theorem, some notation and terminology are needed. Let ‖x‖ denote the usual Euclidean norm of a vector x in k+1, k + 1-dimensional Euclidean space, and let be the unit ball model of k + 1-dimensional hyperbolic space with Poincaré metric ρ. A non-elementary geometrically finite group G acting on Bk + 1 is a discrete subgroup of Möb (Bk+l), the group of orientation preserving Mobius transformations preserving Bk + 1, for which there exists some convex fundamental polyhedron with finitely many faces. Since G is non-elementary, the limit set L(G) of G – the set of limit points in the unit sphere Sk of any orbit of G in Bk+1 – is uncountable. The group G is said to be of the first kind if L(G) = Sk and of the second kind otherwise.

Let an element of a group be called an FC element if it has only a finite number of conjugates in the group. Baer(1) and Neumann (8) have discussed groups in which every element is FC, and called them FC-groups. Both Abelian and finite groups are trivially FC-groups; Neumann has studied the properties common to FC-groups and Abelian groups, and Baer the properties common to FC-groups and finite groups. Baer has also shown that, for an arbitrary group G, the set H1 of all FC elements is a characteristic subgroup. Haimo (3) has defined the FC-chain of a group G byHi/Hi−1 is the subgroup of all FC elements in G/Hi−1.

AbstractLet d(G) denote the minimal number of generators of the finite p-group G, r(G) the maximum over all subgroups H of G of d(H) and ra(G) the maximum over all abelian subgroups H of G of d(H). If G is of class two it is clear thatBy considering properties of the stability number of graphs we construct examples which show that any value of r(G) within these bounds can occur.

Let p be a rational prime, G a non-trivial finite p group, and K the field of p elements, regarded as a trivial G-module according to context; then we define:d(G) = dimKH1(G, K), the minimal number of generators of G,r(G) = dimKH2(G, K),r′(G) = the minimal number of relations required to define G,where, in the last equation, it is sufficient to take the minimum over those presentations of G with d(G) generators. It is well known (see § 2) that the following inequalities hold:We shall consider only finite p-groups, so that the class of groups with r = d coincides with that consisting of those groups whose Schur multiplicator is trivial.

A subgroup H of a finite group G is said to be weakly H -embedded in G if there exists a normal subgroup T of G such that H G = H T and H ∩ T ∈ H ( G ) , where H G is the normal closure of H in G, and H ( G ) is the set of all H -subgroups of G. In the recent research, Asaad, Ramadan and Heliel gave new characterization of p-nilpotent: Let p be the smallest prime dividing | G | , and P a non-cyclic Sylow p-subgroup of G. Then G is p-nilpotent if and only if there exists a p-power d with 1 < d < | P | such that all subgroups of P of order d and p d are weakly H -embedded in G. As new applications of weakly H -embedded subgroups, in this paper, (1) we generalize this result for general prime p and get a new criterion for p-supersolubility; (2) adding the condition “ N G ( P ) is p-nilpotent”, here N G ( P ) = { g ∈ G | P g = P } is the normalizer of P in G, we obtain p-nilpotence for general prime p. Moreover, our tool is the weakly H -embedded subgroup. However, instead of the normality of H G = H T , we just need H T is S-quasinormal in G, which means that H T permutes with every Sylow subgroup of G.
