Fixed Conjugacy Classes of Normal Subgroups and the K(gv )–problem
نویسنده
چکیده
We establish several new bounds for the number of conjugacy classes of a finite group, all of which involve the maximal number c of conjugacy classes of a normal subgroup fixed by some element of a suitable subset of the group. To apply these formulas effectively, the parameter c, which in general is hard to control, is studied in some important situations. These results are then used to provide a new, shorter proof of the most difficult case of the well–known k(GV )–problem, which occurs for p = 5 and V induced from the natural module of a 5–complement of GL(2, 5). We also show how, for large p, the new results reduce the k(GV )–problem to the primitive case, thereby improving previous work on this. Furthermore, we discuss how they can be used in tackling the imprimitive case of the as of yet unsolved noncoprime k(GV )– problem.

Nilpotent groups with three conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups
Let $G$ be a finite group and $nu(G)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $G$. In this paper, all nilpotent groups $G$ with $nu(G)=3$ are classified.
متن کاملOn the type of conjugacy classes and the set of indices of maximal subgroups
Let $G$ be a finite group. By $MT(G)=(m_1,cdots,m_k)$ we denote the type of conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups of $G$, which implies that $G$ has exactly $k$ conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups and $m_1,ldots,m_k$ are the numbers of conjugates of maximal subgroups of $G$, where $m_1leqcdotsleq m_k$. In this paper, we give some new characterizations of finite groups by ...
متن کاملGroups with one conjugacy class of non-normal subgroups - a short proof
For a finite group $G$ let $nu(G)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $G$. We give a short proof of a theorem of Brandl, which classifies finite groups with $nu(G)=1$.
متن کاملOn non-normal non-abelian subgroups of finite groups
In this paper we prove that a finite group $G$ having at most three conjugacy classes of non-normal non-abelian proper subgroups is always solvable except for $Gcong{rm{A_5}}$, which extends Theorem 3.3 in [Some sufficient conditions on the number of non-abelian subgroups of a finite group to be solvable, Acta Math. Sinica (English Series) 27 (2011) 891--896.]. Moreover, we s...
متن کاملTABLE OF MARKS OF FINITE GROUPS
Let G be a finite group and C(G) be the family of representative conjugacy classes of subgroups of G. The matrix whose H;K-entry is the number of fixed points of the set G=K under the action of H is called the table of marks of G where H;K run through all elements in C(G). In this paper, we compute the table of marks and the markaracter table of groups of order pqr where p, q, r are prime numbers.
