t he purpose of this study was to examine farm operations cooperation groups in central agricultural zone of delta state, nigeria. all the members of the six  selected groups were used for the study. the data which were collected with the use of questionnaire and interview schedule were analyzed with the use of frequency counts, percentages and tobit regression model. most of the members were ...

for any group g, let c(g) denote the set of centralizers of g.we say that a group g has n centralizers (g is a cn-group) if |c(g)| = n.in this note, we prove that every finite cn-group with n ≤ 21 is soluble andthis estimate is sharp. moreover, we prove that every finite cn-group with|g| < 30n+1519 is non-nilpotent soluble. this result gives a partial answer to aconjecture raised by a. ashrafi in ...

a positive solution of the problem of the existence of nontrivial pairs of zero-divisors in group rings of free burnside groups of sufficiently large odd periods $n>10^{10}$ obtained previously by s. v. ivanov and r. mikhailov extended to all odd periods $ngeq 665$‎.

in this paper we consider the group algebra $r(c_2times‎ ‎d_infty)$‎. ‎it is shown that $r(c_2times d_infty)$ can be‎ ‎represented by a $4times 4$ block circulant matrix‎. ‎it is also‎ ‎shown that $mathcal{u}(mathbb{z}_2(c_2times d_infty))$ is‎ ‎infinitely generated‎.

let $cr_{n}(f)$ denote the algebra of $n times n$ circulant matrices over the field $f$. in this paper, we study the unit group of $cr_{n}(f_{p^m})$, where $f_{p^m}$ denotes the galois field of order $p^{m}$, $p$ prime.

‎let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎in [ghasemabadi et al.‎, ‎characterizations of the simple group ${}^2d_n(3)$ by prime graph‎ ‎and spectrum‎, ‎monatsh math.‎, ‎2011] it is‎ ‎proved that if $n$ is odd‎, ‎then ${}^2d _n(3)$ is recognizable by‎ ‎prime graph and also by element orders‎. ‎in this paper we prove‎ ‎that if $n$ is even‎, ‎then $d={}^2d_{n}(3)$ is quasirecognizable by‎ ‎prime graph‎, ‎i.e‎...

let $gamma(s_n)$ be the minimum number of proper subgroups‎ ‎$h_i, i=1‎, ‎dots‎, ‎l $ of the symmetric group $s_n$ such that each element in $s_n$‎ ‎lies in some conjugate of one of the $h_i.$ in this paper we‎ ‎conjecture that $$gamma(s_n)=frac{n}{2}left(1-frac{1}{p_1}right)‎ ‎left(1-frac{1}{p_2}right)+2,$$ where $p_1,p_2$ are the two smallest primes‎ ‎in the factorization of $ninmathbb{n}$ an...

the decomposition $gamma=bh$ of a group $gamma$ into a subset $b$ and a subgroup $h$ of $gamma$ induces, under general conditions, a group-like structure for $b$, known as a gyrogroup. the famous concrete realization of a gyrogroup, which motivated the emergence of gyrogroups into the mainstream, is the space of all relativistically admissible velocities along with a binary operation given by t...

in this paper we introduce the concept of α-commutator which its definition is based on generalized conjugate classes. with this notion, α-nilpotent groups, α-solvable groups, nilpotency and solvability of groups related to the automorphism are defined. n(g) and s(g) are the set of all nilpotency classes and the set of all solvability classes for the group g with respect to different automorphi...

we consider the class $mathfrak m$ of $bf r$--modules where $bf r$ is an associative ring. let $a$ be a module over a group ring $bf r$$g$, $g$ be a group and let $mathfrak l(g)$ be the set of all proper subgroups of $g$. we suppose that if $h in mathfrak l(g)$ then $a/c_{a}(h)$ belongs to $mathfrak m$. we investigate an $bf r$$g$--module $a$ such that $g not = g&apos;$, $c_{g}(a) = 1$. we stud...
