Numerous studies have been made of groups, especially of finite groups, G which have a representation in the form AB, where A and B are subgroups of G. The form of these results is to determine various grouptheoretic properties of G, for example, solvability, from other group-theoretic properties of the subgroups A and B.More recently the structure of finite groups G which have a representation in the form ABA, where A and B are subgroups of G, has been investigated. In an unpublished paper, Herstein and Kaplansky (2) have shown that if A and B are both cyclic, and at least one of them is of prime order, then G is solvable. Also Gorenstein (1) has completely characterized ABA groups in which every element is either in A or has a unique representation in the form aba', where a, a’ are in A, and b ≠ 1 is in B.

A Finite Group

For a nontrivial finite group [Formula: see text] different from a cyclic group of prime order, the intersection graph [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the nontrivial proper subgroups of [Formula: see text] and two vertices are joined by an edge if and only if they have a nontrivial intersection. In this paper we characterize all finite groups with planar intersection graphs. It turns out that few solvable groups have planar intersection graphs. Also we classify finite groups whose intersection graphs are bipartite, triangle free and forests.

AbstractWe extend a result of Noritzsch, which describes the orbit sizes in the action of a Frobenius group G on a finite vector space V under certain conditions, to a more general class of finite solvable groups G. This result has applications in computing irreducible character degrees of finite groups. Another application, proved here, is a result concerning the structure of certain groups with few complex irreducible character degrees.

AbstractLet G be a finite group and let δ(G) be the number of prime order subgroups of G. We determine the groups G with the property δ(G)≥∣G∣/2−1, extending earlier work of C. T. C. Wall, and we use our classification to obtain new results on the generation of near-rings by units of prime order.

Residually Finite Groups

The recent constructions, by Rips and Olshanskii, of infinite groups with all proper subgroups of prime order, and similar ‘monsters’, show that even under the imposition of apparently very strong finiteness conditions, the structure of infinite groups can be rather weird. Thus it seems reasonable to impose the type of condition that enables us to apply the theory of finite groups. Two such conditions are local finiteness and residual finiteness, and here we are interested in the latter. Specifically, we consider residually finite groups of finite rank, where a group is said to have rank r, if all finitely generated subgroups of it can be generated by r elements. Recall that a group is said to be virtually of some property, if it has a subgroup of finite index with this property. We prove the following result:Theorem 1. A residually finite group of finite rank is virtually locally soluble.

A Finite Group

Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. We say that H is S-permutable in G if H permutes with every Sylow subgroup of G. A group G is called a generalized smooth group (GS-group) if [G/L] is totally smooth for every subgroup L of G of prime order. In this paper, we investigate the structure of G under the assumption that each subgroup of prime order is S-permutable if the maximal subgroups of G are GS-groups.

A Finite Group

The number of distinct [Formula: see text]-variable word maps on a finite group [Formula: see text] is the order of the rank [Formula: see text] free group in the variety generated by [Formula: see text]. For a group [Formula: see text], the number of word maps on just two variables can be quite large. We improve upon previous bounds for the number of word maps over a finite group [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we show that our bound is sharp for the number of 2-variable word maps over the affine group over fields of prime order and over the alternating group on five symbols.

Let G be a group and ZG be the integral group ring of G. We shall write 𝔤 for the augmentation ideal of G; that is to say, the kernel of the homomorphism of ZG onto Z which sends each group element to 1. The powers gλ of 𝔤 are defined inductively for ordinals λ by 𝔤λ = 𝔤μ𝔤, if λ = μ + 1, and otherwise. The first ordinal λ for which gλ = 𝔤λ+1 is called the augmentation terminal or simply the terminal of G. For example, if G is either a cyclic group of prime order or else isomorphic with the additive group of rational numbers then gn > 𝔤ω = 0 for all finite n, so that these groups have terminal ω.The groups with finite terminal are well-known and easily described. If G is one such, then every homomorphic image of G must also have finite terminal.
