Finite p-Groups, Entropy Vectors, and the Ingleton Inequality for Nilpotent Groups

NILPOTENT p-LOCAL FINITE GROUPS

In this paper we provide characterizations of p-nilpotency for fusion systems and p-local finite groups that are inspired by known result for finite groups. In particular, we generalize criteria by Atiyah, Brunetti, Frobenius, Quillen, Stammbach and Tate.

On the Ingleton-Violations in Finite Groups

It is well known that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the entropy vector of a collection of n random variables and a certain group-characterizable vector obtained from a finite group and n of its subgroups [1]. However, if one restricts attention to abelian groups then not all entropy vectors can be obtained. This is an explanation for the fact shown by Dougherty et al [2] that lin...

Pairwise‎ ‎non-commuting elements in finite metacyclic $2$-groups and some finite $p$-groups

Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements‎ ‎if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute‎. ‎In this paper‎ ‎we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite‎ ‎non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup‎.
