It is shown that the the maximal torus normalizer determines the p-compact group PU(p) and its automorphisms. This leads to homotopy uniqueness results for PU(p) and related p-compact groups and to a novel construction of unstable Adams operations.

in this paper we enumerate fuzzy subgroups, up to a natural equivalence, of some finite abelian p-groups of rank two where p is any prime number. after obtaining the number of maximal chains of subgroups, we count fuzzy subgroups using inductive arguments. the number of such fuzzy subgroups forms a polynomial in p with pleasing combinatorial coefficients. by exploiting the order, we label the s...

Many common finite p-groups admit automorphisms of order coprime to p, and when p is odd, it is reasonably difficult to find finite p-groups whose automorphism group is a p-group. Yet the goal of this paper is to prove that the automorphism group of a finite p-group is almost always a p-group. The asymptotics in our theorem involve fixing any two of the following parameters and letting the thir...

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...

we prove that the class of profinite groups $g$ that have a factorization $g=ab$ with $a$ and $b$ abelian closed subgroups, is closed under taking strict projective limits. this is a generalization of a recent result by k.h.~hofmann and f.g.~russo. as an application we reprove their generalization of iwasawa's structure theorem for quasihamiltonian pro-$p$ groups.
