ON THE CHARACTERISTIC DEGREE OF FINITE GROUPS

Authors

Abstract:

In this article we introduce and study the concept of characteristic degree of a subgroup in a finite group. We define the characteristic degree of a subgroup H in a finite group G as the ratio of the number of all pairs (h,α) ∈ H×Aut(G) such that h^α∈H, by the order of H × Aut(G), where Aut(G) is the automorphisms group of G. This quantity measures the probability that H can be characteristic in G. We determine the upper and lower bounds for this probability. We also obtain a special lower bound, when H is a cyclic p-subgroup of G.

The Tensor Degree of a Pair of Finite Groups

In this paper, we study the tensor commutativity degree of pair of finite groups. Erdos introduced the relative commutativity degree and studied its properties. Then, Mr. Niroomand introduced the tensor relative commutativity degree, calculated tensor relative degree for some groups, and studied its properties. Also, he explained its relation with relative commutativity degree. In this paper, w...

Small degree representations of finite Chevalley groups in defining characteristic

We determine for all simple simply connected reductive linear algebraic groups defined over a finite field all irreducible representations in their defining characteristic of degree below some bound. These also give the small degree projective representations in defining characteristic for the corresponding finite simple groups. For large rank l our bound is proportional to l3 and for rank 11 m...

On the Average Character Degree of Finite Groups

We prove that if the average of the degrees of the irreducible characters of a finite group G is less than 16/5, then G is solvable. This solves a conjecture of I. M. Isaacs, M. Loukaki and the first author. We discuss related questions.

Remarks on the Relative Tensor Degree of Finite Groups

The present paper is a note on the relative tensor degree of finite groups. This notion generalizes the tensor degree, introduced recently in literature, and allows us to adapt the concept of relative commutativity degree through the notion of nonabelian tensor square. We show two inequalities, which correlate the relative tensor degree with the relative commutativity degree of finite groups. 1...

On the subgroup permutability degree of some finite simple groups

Consider a finite group G and subgroups H,K of G. We say that H and K permute if HK = KH and call H a permutable subgroup if H permutes with every subgroup of G. A group G is called quasi-Dedekind if all subgroups of G are permutable. We can define, for every finite group G, an arithmetic quantity that measures the probability that two subgroups (chosen uniformly at random with replacement) per...

Characteristic Subgroups of Finite Abelian Groups

We consider the question: When do two finite abelian groups have isomorphic lattices of characteristic subgroups? An explicit description of the characteristic subgroups of such groups enables us to give a complete answer to this question in the case where at least one of the groups has odd order. An “exceptional” isomorphism, which occurs between the lattice of characteristic subgroups of Zp ×...
