Finite P-groups with unique maximal classes

CONJUGACY CLASSES IN FINITE p-GROUPS

Of course, in that problem we have to take into account that the class sizes impose restrictions on the group structure. E.g. if the sizes are {1, p}, then the nilpotency class has to be 2. More precisely: the class sizes of a p-group G are {1, p} iff |G′| = p (Knoche; see also Theorem 3 below). But we can ask, e.g., if, given any set S ≠ {1, p} of p-powers, does there exist a group of class 3 ...

Finite Groups with p-Sylow Coverings

FINITE GROUPS WITH FIVE NON-CENTRAL CONJUGACY CLASSES

‎Let G be a finite group and Z(G) be the center of G‎. ‎For a subset A of G‎, ‎we define kG(A)‎, ‎the number of conjugacy classes of G that intersect A non-trivially‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we verify the structure of all finite groups G which satisfy the property kG(G-Z(G))=5, and classify them‎.

Finite groups with a unique subgroup of order p

This is a toy example to illustrate some of the techniques of fusion and transfer as described in Gorenstein’s text Finite Groups. Finite groups with a unique subgroup of order p (p an odd prime) are classified in terms of a cyclic p′-extension of relatively simple combinatorial data. This note is intended to address a slightly misstated exercise in somewhat more detail and to be a toy example ...

Maximal subsets of pairwise non-commuting elements of some finite p-groups

Let G be a group. A subset X of G is a set of pairwise noncommuting elements if xy ̸= yx for any two distinct elements x and y in X. If |X| ≥ |Y | for any other set of pairwise non-commuting elements Y in G, then X is said to be a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements. In this paper we determine the cardinality of a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements in any non-abelian...
