The commutativity degree of a finite group is the probability that a random pair of elements in the group commute. Furthermore, the n-th power commutativity degree of a group is a generalization of the commutativity degree of a group which is defined as the probability that the n-th power of a random pair of elements in the group commute. In this paper, the n-th power commutativity degree for some dihedral groups is computed for the case n equal to 2, called the squared commutativity degree.

Let G be a finite group. The probability of a random pair of elements in G are said to be co-prime when the greatest common divisor of order x and y, where x and y in G, is equal to one. Meanwhile the co-prime graph of a group is defined as a graph whose vertices are elements of G and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if the greatest common divisor of order x and y is equal to one. In this paper, the co-prime probability and its graph such as the type and the properties of the graph are determined.

Let H be a subgroup of a finite non-abelian group G and g∈G. Let Z(H,G)={x∈H:xy=yx,∀y∈G}. We introduce the graph ΔH,Gg whose vertex set is G\Z(H,G) and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if x∈H or y∈H and [x,y]≠g,g−1, where [x,y]=x−1y−1xy. In this paper, we determine whether ΔH,Gg is a tree among other results. We also discuss about its diameter and connectivity with special attention to the dihedral groups.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. A sequence over [Formula: see text] means a finite sequence of terms from [Formula: see text], where repetition is allowed and the order is disregarded. A product-one sequence is a sequence whose elements can be ordered such that their product equals the identity element of the group. The set of all product-one sequences over [Formula: see text] (with the concatenation of sequences as the operation) is a finitely generated C-monoid. Product-one sequences over dihedral groups have a variety of extremal properties. This paper provides a detailed investigation, with methods from arithmetic combinatorics, of the arithmetic of the monoid of product-one sequences over dihedral groups.

Abstract The problem of finding the number of ordered commuting tuples of elements in a finite group is equivalent to finding the size of the solution set of the system of equations determined by the commutator relations that impose commutativity among any pair of elements from an ordered tuple. We consider this type of systems for the case of ordered triples and express the size of the solution set in terms of the irreducible characters of the group. The obtained formulas are natural extensions of Frobenius’ character formula that calculates the number of ways a group element is a commutator of an ordered pair of elements in a finite group. We discuss how our formulas can be used to study the probability distributions afforded by these systems of equations, and we show explicit calculations for dihedral groups.

The total characterτof a finite groupGis defined as the sum of all the irreducible characters ofG. K. W. Johnson asks when it is possible to expressτas a polynomial with integer coefficients in a single irreducible character. In this paper, we give a complete answer to Johnson's question for all finite dihedral groups. In particular, we show that, when such a polynomial exists, it is unique and it is the sum of certain Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind in any faithful irreducible character of the dihedral groupG.

AbstractLet G be a finite group and p be a prime. We investigate isomorphism invariants of $\mathbb{Z}_p$[G]-lattices whose extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is self-dual, called regulator constants. These were originally introduced by Dokchitser–Dokchitser in the context of elliptic curves. Regulator constants canonically yield a pairing between the space of Brauer relations for G and the subspace of the representation ring for which regulator constants are defined. For all G, we show that this pairing is never identically zero. For formal reasons, this pairing will, in general, have non-trivial kernel. But, if G has cyclic Sylow p-subgroups and we restrict to considering permutation lattices, then we show that the pairing is non-degenerate modulo the formal kernel. Using this we can show that, for certain groups, including dihedral groups of order 2p for p odd, the isomorphism class of any $\mathbb{Z}_p$[G]-lattice whose extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is self-dual, is determined by its regulator constants, its extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and a cohomological invariant of Yakovlev.

AbstractIn noncommutative geometry a ‘Lie algebra’ or bidirectional bicovariant differential calculus on a finite group is provided by a choice of an ad-stable generating subset $\mathcal{C}$ stable under inversion. We study the associated Killing form K. For the universal calculus associated to $\mathcal{C}$ = G \ {e} we show that the magnitude $\mu=\sum_{a,b\in\mathcal{C}}(K^{-1})_{a,b}$ of the Killing form is defined for all finite groups (even when K is not invertible) and that a finite group is Roth, meaning its conjugation representation contains every irreducible, iff μ ≠ 1/(N − 1) where N is the number of conjugacy classes. We show further that the Killing form is invertible in the Roth case, and that the Killing form restricted to the (N − 1)-dimensional subspace of invariant vectors is invertible iff the finite group is an almost-Roth group (meaning its conjugation representation has at most one missing irreducible). It is known [9, 10] that most nonabelian finite simple groups are Roth and that all are almost Roth. At the other extreme from the universal calculus we prove that the 2-cycles conjugacy class in any Sn has invertible Killing form, and the same for the generating conjugacy classes in the case of the dihedral groups D2n with n odd. We verify invertibility of the Killing forms of all real conjugacy classes in all nonabelian finite simple groups to order 75,000, by computer, and we conjecture this to extend to all nonabelian finite simple groups.

In this paper, we define a new graph [Formula: see text] on a finite group [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a divisor of [Formula: see text]. The vertices of [Formula: see text] are the subgroups of [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text] and two subgroups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] are said to be adjacent if there exists [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] denote the set of all NRTs of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. We shall discuss the completeness of [Formula: see text] for various groups like finite abelian groups, dihedral groups and some finite [Formula: see text]-groups.

For a finite group $G$ and subset $S$ of $G,$ the Haar graph $H(G,S)$ is a bipartite regular graph, defined as a regular $G$-cover of a dipole with $|S|$ parallel arcs labelled by elements of $S$. If $G$ is an abelian group, then $H(G,S)$ is well-known to be a Cayley graph; however, there are examples of non-abelian groups $G$ and subsets $S$ when this is not the case. In this paper we address the problem of classifying finite non-abelian groups $G$ with the property that every Haar graph $H(G,S)$ is a Cayley graph. An equivalent condition for $H(G,S)$ to be a Cayley graph of a group containing $G$ is derived in terms of $G, S$ and $\mathrm{Aut } G$. It is also shown that the dihedral groups, which are solutions to the above problem, are $\mathbb{Z}_2^2,D_3,D_4$ and $D_{5}$.

Let [Formula: see text] denote the Coprime Graph of a finite group [Formula: see text]. In this paper we study the Laplacian eigenvalues of the Coprime Graph of the finite cyclic group [Formula: see text] and the Dihedral group [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text]. We find the characteristic polynomial of [Formula: see text] for any [Formula: see text] and determine the eigenvalues of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] are primes and [Formula: see text] is a positive integer. We characterize the values of [Formula: see text] for which algebraic and vertex connectivity of [Formula: see text] are equal. We also discuss about the largest and the second largest eigenvalue of [Formula: see text]. Finally, the spectra of [Formula: see text] has been determined for [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] are primes and [Formula: see text] is a positive integer.
