‎for a finite group $g$ let $nu(g)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $g$‎. ‎the aim of this paper is to classify all the non-nilpotent groups with $nu(g)=3$‎.

Let G be a quasi-split connected reductive group over a local field of characteristic 0, and fix a regular nilpotent element in the Lie algebra g of G. A theorem of Kostant then provides a canonical conjugacy class within each stable conjugacy class of regular semisimple elements in g. Normalized transfer factors take the value 1 on these canonical conjugacy classes.

A conjugacy class C of a finite group G is a sign conjugacy class if every irreducible character of G takes value 0, 1 or −1 on C. In this paper we classify the sign conjugacy classes of the symmetric groups and thereby verify a conjecture of Olsson.

The conjugacy problem and the inverse conjugacy problem of a finitely generated group are defined, from a language theoretic point of view, as sets of pairs of words. An automaton might be obliged to read the two input words synchronously, or could have the option to read asynchronously. Hence each class of languages gives rise to four classes of groups; groups whose (inverse) conjugacy problem...

It is proved that for any prime p a finitely generated nilpotent group is conjugacy separable in the class of finite p-groups if and only if the tor-sion subgroup of it is a finite p-group and the quotient group by the torsion subgroup is abelian. 1. Let K be a class of groups. A group G is called residual K (or K-residual) if for each non-unit element a ∈ G there is a homomorphism ϕ of G onto ...

many results were proved on the structure of finite groups with some‎ ‎restrictions on their real elements and on their conjugacy classes‎. ‎we‎ ‎generalize a few of these to some classes of infinite groups‎. ‎we study groups in which real elements are central‎, ‎groups in which real elements are $2$-elements‎, ‎groups in which all non-trivial classes have the same finite size and $fc$-groups w...

(A) We study in this paper topological properties of conjugacy classes in Polish groups. There are two questions which we are particularly interested in. First, does a Polish group G have a dense conjugacy class? This is equivalent (see, e.g., Kechris [95, 8.47]) to the following generic ergodicity property of G: Every conjugacy invariant subset A ⊆ G with the Baire property (e.g., a Borel set)...

By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple conjugacy classes of a nite group of Lie type to the conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. Picking a semisimple class uniformly at random yields a probability measure on conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. We conjecture that this measure agrees with a second measure on conjugacy classes of the Weyl group induced by a construction of ...

We prove the Arad–Herzog conjecture for various families of finite simple groups — if A and B are nontrivial conjugacy classes, then AB is not a conjugacy class. We also prove that if G is a finite simple group of Lie type and A and B are nontrivial conjugacy classes, either both semisimple or both unipotent, then AB is not a conjugacy class. We also prove a strong version of the Arad–Herzog co...
