The Many

The importance of conjugacy classes for the structure of finite groups was recognised very early in the study of groups. In this survey we consider the results from the many articles which have developed this topic and examined the influence of conjugacy class sizes or the number of conjugacy classes on the structure of finite groups. Whilst we begin by mentioning the early results of Sylow and Burnside, our major objective is to highlight the more recent work and present some interesting questions which we hope will inspire further research.

A Finite Group

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $\operatorname{cl}(G)$ be the set of conjugacy classes of $G$ and let $\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)$ be the largest integer such that $p^{\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)}$ divides $|C|$ for some $C\in \operatorname{cl}(G)$. We prove the following results. If $\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)=1$, then $|G:F(G)|_{p}\leq p^{4}$ if $p\geq 3$. Moreover, if $G$ is solvable, then $|G:F(G)|_{p}\leq p^{2}$.

A Finite Group

Abstract Let G be a finite group and p a prime. Let {\operatorname{cl}(G)} be the set of conjugacy classes of G, and let {\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)} be the largest integer such that {p^{\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)}} divides {|C|} for some {C\in\operatorname{cl}(G)} . We show that if {p\geq 3} and {\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)=1} , then {\lvert G\mskip 1.0mu \mathord{:}\mskip 1.0mu O_{p}(G)\rvert_{p}\leq p^{3}} . This improves the main result of Y. Yang and G. Qian, On p-parts of conjugacy class sizes of finite groups, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 97 2018, 3, 406–411.

AbstractAn A-group is a finite solvable group all of whose Sylow subgroups are abelian. In this paper, we are interested in bounding the derived length of an A-group G as a function of the number of distinct sizes of the conjugacy classes of G. Although we do not find a specific bound of this type, we do prove that such a bound exists. We also prove that if G is an A-group with a faithful and completely reducible G-module V, then the derived length of G is bounded by a function of the number of distinct orbit sizes under the action of G on V.

A Finite Group

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. We say that a conjugacy class of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is vanishing if there exists some irreducible character [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that finite groups with at most six vanishing conjugacy classes are solvable or almost simple groups.

A Finite Group

Let G be a finite group, and let cs(G) be the set of conjugacy class sizes of G. Recalling that an element g of G is called a vanishing element if there exists an irreducible character of G taking the value 0 on g, we consider one particular subset of cs(G), namely, the set vcs(G) whose elements are the conjugacy class sizes of the vanishing elements of G. Motivated by the results inBianchi et al. (2020, J. Group Theory, 23, 79–83), we describe the class of the finite groups G such that vcs(G) consists of a single element under the assumption that G is supersolvable or G has a normal Sylow 2-subgroup (in particular, groups of odd order are covered). As a particular case, we also get a characterization of finite groups having a single vanishing conjugacy class size which is either a prime power or square-free.
