We prove that if [Formula: see text] is either a hypercentral-by-finite group or a soluble Baer group and if [Formula: see text] has finitely many non-isomorphic factor-groups, then [Formula: see text] is a Chernikov group. The converse is also true. Furthermore, we give some information on the structure of a metabelian group with finitely many non-isomorphic factor-groups.

Left Annihilator

AbstractA ring R is said to be a Baer (respectively, quasi-Baer) ring if the left annihilator of any nonempty subset (respectively, any ideal) of R is generated by an idempotent. It is first proved that for a ring R and a group G, if a group ring RG is (quasi-) Baer then so is R; if in addition G is finite then |G|–1 € R. Counter examples are then given to answer Hirano's question which asks whether the group ring RG is (quasi-) Baer if R is (quasi-) Baer and G is a finite group with |G|–1 € R. Further, efforts have been made towards answering the question of when the group ring RG of a finite group G is (quasi-) Baer, and various (quasi-) Baer group rings are identified. For the case where G is a group acting on R as automorphisms, some sufficient conditions are given for the fixed ring RG to be Baer.

A Finite Group

An explicit expression for the primitive central idempotent of the rational group algebra ℚ[G] of a finite group G associated with any complex irreducible character of G is obtained. A complete set of primitive central idempotents and the Wedderburn decomposition of the rational group algebra of a finite metabelian group is also computed.

Rank Conditions

Abstract We study linear groups G for which for every g in G there exists a subgroup E of G satisfying some sort of rank condition and such that for every x in G there is a positive integer m such that for all n ≥ m the repeated commutator [x, ng] lies in E. If E can always be chosen to be a Chernikov group (resp. a polycyclic-by-finite group) such G can be completely described (Wehrfritz in Adv Group Theory Appl 7:143–157, 2019; Wehrfritz in Boll Unione Mat Ital, to appear). For more general rank conditions our analyses below are complete for positive characteristics but are less so for characteristic zero.

Polycyclic Groups

In an earlier paper (5) we showed that a finitely generated nilpotent group which is not abelian-by-finite has a primitive irreducible representation of infinite dimension over any non-absolute field. Here we are concerned primarily with the converse question: Suppose that G is a polycyclic-by-finite group with such a representation, then what can be said about G?

Abstract Similarly to the Frobenius–Schur indicator of irreducible characters, we consider higher Frobenius–Schur indicators $\nu _{p^n}(\chi ) = |G|^{-1} \sum _{g \in G} \chi (g^{p^n})$ for primes p and $n \in \mathbb {N}$ , where G is a finite group and $\chi $ is a generalised character of G. These invariants give answers to interesting questions in representation theory. In particular, we give several characterisations of groups via higher Frobenius–Schur indicators.

Abstract A subgroup H of a finite group G is called weakly pronormal in G if there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = H K G=HK and H ∩ K H\cap K is pronormal in G. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the finite groups in which some subgroups are weakly pronormal. Our results improve and generalize many known results.
