Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be positive integer numbers. In this paper, we study [Formula: see text], the class of all groups [Formula: see text] that for all subsets [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] containing [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] elements, respectively, there exist [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is nilpotent, which introduced by Zarrin in 2012. We improve some results of Zarrin and find some sharp bounds for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] implies that [Formula: see text] is nilpotent. Also we will characterize all finite [Formula: see text]-groups in [Formula: see text], which [Formula: see text].

AbstractA number of constructions are given for arc-transitive digraphs, based on modifications of permutation representations of finite groups. In particular, it is shown that for every positive integer s and for any transitive permutation group p of degree k, there are infinitely many examples of a finite k-regular digraph with a group of automorphisms acting transitively on s-arcs (but not on (s + 1)-arcs), such that the stabilizer of a vertex induces the action of P on the out-neighbour set.

Abstract A quasi-antichain is a lattice consisting of a maximum, a minimum, and the atoms of the lattice. The width of a quasi-antichain is the number of atoms. For a positive integer {w\geq 3} , a quasi-antichain of width w is denoted by {\mathcal{M}_{w}} . In [B. Brewster, P. Hauck and E. Wilcox, Quasi-antichain Chermak–Delgado lattice of finite groups, Arch. Math. 103 2014, 4, 301–311], it is proved that {\mathcal{M}_{w}} can be the Chermak–Delgado lattice of a finite group if and only if {w=1+p^{a}} for some positive integer a and some prime p. Let t be the number of abelian atoms in {\mathcal{CD}(G)} . In this paper, we completely answer the following question: which values of t are possible in quasi-antichain Chermak–Delgado lattices?

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and [Formula: see text] any divisor of [Formula: see text], the order of [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text], Frobenius’ theorem states that [Formula: see text] for some positive integer [Formula: see text]. We call [Formula: see text] a Frobenius quotient of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the set of all Frobenius quotients of [Formula: see text], we call [Formula: see text] the Frobenius spectrum of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give a complete classification of finite groups [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] being the smallest prime divisor of [Formula: see text]. Moreover, let [Formula: see text] be a finite group of even order, [Formula: see text] the set of all Frobenius quotients of [Formula: see text] for even divisors of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] the maximum Frobenius quotient in [Formula: see text], we prove that [Formula: see text] is always solvable if [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is not a composition factor of [Formula: see text].

LetGbe a finitely generated soluble group. The main result of this note is to prove thatGis nilpotent-by-finite if, and only if, for every pairX,Yof infinite subsets ofG, there exist anxinX,yinYand two positive integersm=m(x,y),n=n(x,y) satisfying [x,nym] = 1. We prove also that ifGis infinite and ifmis a positive integer, thenGis nilpotent-by-(finite of exponent dividingm) if, and only if, for every pairX,Yof infinite subsets ofG, there exist anxinX,yinYand a positive integern=n(x,y) satisfying [x,nym] = 1.

SynopsisLet J(FG) be the Jacobson radical of the group algebra FG of a finite groupG with a Sylow 3-subgroup which is extra-special of order 27 of exponent 3 over a field F of characteristic 3, and let t(G) be the least positive integer t with J(FG)t = 0. In this paper, we prove that t(G) = 9 if G has a normal subgroup H such that (|G:H|, 3) = 1 and if H is either 3-solvable, SL(3,3) or the Tits simple group 2F4(2)'.

AbstractIf X is a group-class, a group G is right X-Engel if for all g in G there exists an X-subgroup E of G such that for all x in G there is a positive integer m(x) with [g, nx] ∈ E for all n ≥ m(x). Let G be a linear group. Special cases of our main theorem are the following. If X is the class of all Chernikov groups, or all finite groups, or all locally finite groups, then G is right X-Engel if and only if G has a normal X-subgroup modulo which G is hypercentral. The same conclusion holds if G has positive characteristic and X is one of the following classes; all polycyclic-by-finite groups, all groups of finite Prüfer rank, all minimax groups, all groups with finite Hirsch number, all soluble-by-finite groups with finite abelian total rank. In general the characteristic zero case is more complex.

AbstractIf ε is an endomorphism of a finitely generated residually finite group onto a subgroup Fε of finite index in F, then there exists a positive integer k such that ε is an isomorphism of Fεk. If K is the kernel of ε, then K is a finite group so that if F is a non trivial free product or if F is torsion free, then ε is an isomorphism on F. If ε is an endomorphism of a finitely generated resedually finite group onto a subgroup Fε (not necessatily of ginite index in F) and if the kernel of ε obeys the minimal condition for subgroups then there exists a positive integer k such that ε is an isomorphism on Fεk.

A group G is called a BCF-group if there is a positive integer κ such that |X : XG| ≤ κ for each subgroup X of G. The structure of BCF-groups has been studied by Buckley, Lennox, Neumann, Smith and Wiegold; they proved in particular that locally finite groups with the property BCF are Abelian-by-finite. As a group lattice version of this concept, we say that a group G is a BMF-group if there is a positive integer κ such that every subgroup X of G contains a modular subgroup Y of G for which the index |X : Y| is finite and the number of its prime divisors with multiplicity is bounded by κ (it is known that that such number can be characterised by purely lattice-theoretic considerations, and so it is invariant under lattice isomorphisms of groups). It is proved here that any locally finite BMF-group contains a subgroup of finite index with modular subgroup lattice.

1. The object of this note is to prove the restricted Burnside conjecture for exponent 5, that is, to prove, for n = 5, the proposition:Rn: For each positive integer k there is an integer rn, k such that every finite group of exponent n that can be generated by k elements has order at most rn, k.
