چکیده

Let G be a finite group and H a normal subgroup such that G/H is cyclic. Given a conjugacy class g of G we define its centralizing subgroup to be HCG(g). Let K be such that H ≤ K ≤ G. We show that the G-conjugacy classes contained in K whose centralizing subgroup is K, are equally distributed between the cosets of H in K. The proof of this result is entirely elementary. As an application we find expressions for the number of conjugacy classes of K under its own action, in terms of quantities relating only to the action of G.

On the Regular Power Graph on the Conjugacy Classes of Finite Groups

emph{The (undirected) power graph on the conjugacy classes} $mathcal{P_C}(G)$ of a group $G$ is a simple graph in which the vertices are the conjugacy classes of $G$ and two distinct vertices $C$ and $C'$ are adjacent in $mathcal{P_C}(G)$ if one is a subset of a power of the other. In this paper, we describe groups whose associated graphs are $k$-regular for $k=5,6$.

COMPUTING THE PRODUCTS OF CONJUGACY CLASSES FOR SPECIFIC FINITE GROUPS

Suppose $G$ is a finite group, $A$ and $B$ are conjugacy classes of $G$ and $eta(AB)$ denotes the number of conjugacy classes contained in $AB$. The set of all $eta(AB)$ such that $A, B$ run over conjugacy classes of $G$ is denoted by $eta(G)$.The aim of this paper is to compute $eta(G)$, $G in { D_{2n}, T_{4n}, U_{6n}, V_{8n}, SD_{8n}}$ or $G$ is a decomposable group of order $2pq$, a group of...

Commuting conjugacy classes: An application of Hall’s Marriage Theorem to Group Theory

Let G be a finite group. Define a relation ∼ on the conjugacy classes of G by setting C ∼ D if there are representatives c ∈ C and d ∈ D such that cd = dc. In the case where G has a normal subgroup H such that G/H is cyclic, two theorems are proved concerning the distribution, between cosets of H, of pairs of conjugacy classes of G related by ∼. One of the proofs involves an interesting applica...
