Let G be a finite group. The main supergraph S(G) is a graph with vertex set G in which two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if o(x)∣o(y) or o(y)∣o(x). In this paper, we will show that G≅PSL(2,p) or PGL(2,p) if and only if S(G)≅S(PSL(2,p)) or S(PGL(2,p)), respectively. Also, we will show that if M is a sporadic simple group, then G≅M if only if S(G)≅S(M).

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined as follows. The vertices of Γ(G) are the primes dividing the order of G and two distinct vertices p, q are joined by an edge if there is an element in G of order pq. It is proved that if p > 11 and p ≢ 1 (mod 12), then PSL(2,p) is uniquely determined by its prime graph. Also it is proved that if p > 7 is a prime number and Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,p2)), then G ≅ PSL(2,p2) or G ≅ PSL(2,p2).2, the non-split extension of PSL(2,p2) by ℤ2. In this paper as the main result we determine finite groups G such that Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,q)), where q = pk. As a consequence of our results we prove that if q = pk, k > 1 is odd and p is an odd prime number, then PSL(2,q) is uniquely determined by its prime graph and so these groups are characterizable by their prime graph.

Abstract The intersection power graph of a finite group G G is the graph whose vertex set is G G , and two distinct vertices x x and y y are adjacent if either one of x x and y y is the identity element of G G , or ⟨ x ⟩ ∩ ⟨ y ⟩ \langle x\rangle \cap \langle y\rangle is non-trivial. In this paper, we completely classify all finite groups whose intersection power graphs are toroidal and projective-planar.

In this paper, we study the problem of how a finite group can be generated by some subgroups. In order to the finite simple groups, we show that any finite non-abelian simple group can be generated by two Sylow p1 - and p_2 -subgroups, where p_1  and p_2  are two different primes. We also show that for a given different prime numbers p  and q , any finite group can be generated by a Sylow p -subgroup and a q -subgroup.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. The power graph of [Formula: see text] is the undirected graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The reduced power graph of [Formula: see text] is the subgraph of the power graph of [Formula: see text] obtained by deleting all edges [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are two distinct elements of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the proper connection number of the reduced power graph of [Formula: see text]. As an application, we also determine the proper connection number of the power graph of [Formula: see text].

The power graph [Formula: see text] of a finite group [Formula: see text] is the undirected simple graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is an integral power of the other. For an integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the cyclic group of order [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the number of distinct prime divisors of [Formula: see text]. The minimum degree [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is known for [Formula: see text], see [R. P. Panda and K. V. Krishna, On the minimum degree, edge-connectivity and connectivity of power graphs of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 46(7) (2018) 3182–3197]. For [Formula: see text], under certain conditions involving the prime divisors of [Formula: see text], we identify at most [Formula: see text] vertices such that [Formula: see text] is equal to the degree of at least one of these vertices. If [Formula: see text], or that [Formula: see text] is a product of distinct primes, we are able to identify two such vertices without any condition on the prime divisors of [Formula: see text].

Let $G$ be a finite group with two primitive permutation representations on the sets $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ be the corresponding permutation characters. We consider the case in which the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ coincides with the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$, that is, for every $g\in G$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(g)=0$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}(g)=0$. We have conjectured in Spiga [‘Permutation characters and fixed-point-free elements in permutation groups’, J. Algebra299(1) (2006), 1–7] that under this hypothesis either $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ or one of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ is a genuine character. In this paper we give evidence towards the veracity of this conjecture when the socle of $G$ is a sporadic simple group or an alternating group. In particular, the conjecture is reduced to the case of almost simple groups of Lie type.

Let [Formula: see text] be a class of finite simple groups. We say that a finite group [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-group if all composition factors of [Formula: see text] are contained in [Formula: see text]. A group [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-supersoluble if every chief [Formula: see text]-factor of [Formula: see text] is a simple group. In this paper, properties of mutually permutable products of [Formula: see text]-supersoluble finite groups are studied. Some earlier results on mutually permutable products of [Formula: see text]-supersoluble groups (SC-groups) appear as particular cases.

We refer to the set of the orders of elements of a finite group as its spectrum and say that finite groups are isospectral if their spectra coincide. In this paper, we determine all finite groups isospectral to the simple groups [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. In particular, we prove that with just four exceptions, every such finite group is an extension of the initial simple group by a (possibly trivial) field automorphism.

Let P be the class of all finite groups G whose powers GI have no countably infinite factor groups. Neumann and Yamamuro (1) proved that if G is a finite non-Abelian simple group, then G ∈ P. We generalize this result by proving the following theorem.THEOREM. A finite group G ∈ P if and only if G is perfect2. Inheritance properties ofP.P1. If G ∈ P and N is normal in G, then G/N ∈ P.Proof. Since (G/N)I is isomorphic to GI/NI it is clear that factor groups of (G/N)I are isomorphic to factor groups of GI, and hence finite or uncountable.P2. If G = HK, where H ∈ P and K ∈ P, then G ∈ P.Proof. We show that homomorphic images of GI are either finite or uncountable. Let ϕ be a homomorphism of GI. Then GIϕ = (HK)Iϕ = (HI/KI)ϕ = (HIϕ) (KIϕ). Since HIϕ and KIϕ must be finite or uncountable, the conclusion follows.

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)'.
