On the number of conjugacy classes of finite nilpotent groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We establish the first super-logarithmic lower bound for the number of conjugacy classes of a finite nilpotent group. In particular, for any constant c there are only finitely many finite p-groups of order pm with at most c ·m conjugacy classes. This answers a question of L. Pyber.

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 کاملFINITE 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.
متن کاملSome connections between powers of conjugacy classes and degrees of irreducible characters in solvable groups
Let $G$ be a finite group. We say that the derived covering number of $G$ is finite if and only if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $C^n=G'$ for all non-central conjugacy classes $C$ of $G$. In this paper we characterize solvable groups $G$ in which the derived covering number is finite.
متن کاملOn 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 $k=5,6$.
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 $nu(G)=1$.
