let $g$ be a finite group with the identity $e$‎. ‎the subgroup intersection graph $gamma_{si}(g)$ of $g$ is the graph with vertex set $v(gamma_{si}(g)) = g-e$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent in $gamma_{si}(g)$ if and only if $|leftlangle xrightrangle capleftlangle yrightrangle|>1$‎, ‎where $leftlangle xrightrangle $ is the cyclic subgroup of $g$ generated by $xin g$‎. ‎in th...

In 1966, Milnor surveyed in this Bulletin [23] the concept of Whitehead torsion, focusing on the definition, topological significance and computation of Whitehead groups and their relationship to algebraic ^-theory and the congruence subgroup problem. As Milnor showed in that survey [23, Appendix 1], an affirmative solution to the congruence subgroup problem for algebraic number fields would im...

‎‎for a finite group $g$ and a subgroup $h$ of $g$‎, ‎the relative commutativity degree of $h$ in $g$‎, ‎denoted by $d(h,g)$‎, ‎is the probability that an element of $h$ commutes with an element of $g$‎. ‎let $mathcal{d}(g)={d(h,g):hleq g}$ be the set of all relative commutativity degrees of subgroups of $g$‎. ‎it is shown that a finite group $g$ admits three relative commutativity degrees if a...

‎the number of factorizations of a finite abelian group as the product of two subgroups is computed in two different ways and a combinatorial identity involving gaussian binomial coefficients is presented‎.

in this note we are going to survey several invariants of finite groups related either to their orders or to generating sets or to lattices of subgroups. some relations among these invariants will be exhibited. special attention will be paid to monotonicity of them.

for a finite group $g$‎, ‎we study the total character $tau_g$‎ ‎afforded by the direct sum of all the non-isomorphic irreducible‎ ‎complex representations of $g$‎. ‎we resolve for several classes of‎ ‎groups (the camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the generalized camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the groups which admit $(g,z(g))$ as a generalized camina pair)‎, ‎the problem of existence of a‎ ‎polynomial $f(x) in mathbb...
