let $gamma$ be a normal subgroup of the full automorphism group $aut(g)$ of a group $g$‎, ‎and assume that $inn(g)leq gamma$‎. ‎an endomorphism $sigma$ of $g$ is said to be {it $gamma$-central} if $sigma$ induces the the identity on the factor group $g/c_g(gamma)$‎. ‎clearly‎, ‎if $gamma=inn(g)$‎, ‎then a $gamma$-central endomorphism is a {it central} endomorphism‎. ‎in this article the conditi...

Let W be a variety of groups defined by a set W of laws and G be a finite p-group in W. The automorphism α of a group G is said to bea marginal automorphism (with respect to W), if for all x ∈ G, x−1α(x) ∈ W∗(G), where W∗(G) is the marginal subgroup of G. Let M,N be two normalsubgroups of G. By AutM(G), we mean the subgroup of Aut(G) consistingof all automorphisms which centralize G/M. AutN(G) ...

For each locally compact non-compact c-compact Abelian group G whose dual is an I-group and each compact Abelian group ,?J such that there is a one-to-one continous homomorphism from G onto a dense subgroup of Z, we show the existence of cocycles on Z whose associated unitary representations of G have purely singular continuous spectrum, as well as the existence of cocycles on Z whose associate...

We propose an electric-magnetic symmetry group in non-abelian gauge theory, which we call the skeleton group. We work in the context of non-abelian unbroken gauge symmetry, and provide evidence for our proposal by relating the representation theory of the skeleton group to the labelling and fusion rules of charge sectors. We show that the labels of electric, magnetic and dyonic sectors in non-a...

Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements‎ ‎if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute‎. ‎In this paper‎ ‎we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite‎ ‎non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup‎.

‎In this paper we prove that a finite group $G$ having at most three‎ ‎conjugacy classes of non-normal non-abelian proper subgroups is‎ ‎always solvable except for $Gcong{rm{A_5}}$‎, ‎which extends Theorem 3.3‎ ‎in [Some sufficient conditions on the number of‎ ‎non-abelian subgroups of a finite group to be solvable‎, ‎Acta Math‎. ‎Sinica (English Series) 27 (2011) 891--896.]‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we s...

let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎a subset $x$ of $g$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements‎ ‎if any two distinct elements of $x$ do not commute‎. ‎in this paper‎ ‎we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite‎ ‎non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup‎.

it was shown in [a. azimifard, e. samei, n. spronk, jfa 256 (2009)] that the zl-amenability constant of a finite group is always at least~$1$, with equality if and only if the group is abelian. it was also shown in [a. azimifard, e. samei, n. spronk, op cit.] that for any finite non-abelian group this invariant is at least $301/300$, but the proof relies crucially on a deep result of d. a. ride...

‎given an integer $n$‎, ‎we denote by $mathfrak b_n$ and $mathfrak c_n$ the classes of all groups $g$ for which the map $phi_{n}:gmapsto g^n$ is a monomorphism and an epimorphism of $g$‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎in this paper we give a characterization for groups in $mathfrak b_n$ and for groups in $mathfrak c_n$‎. ‎we also obtain an arithmetic description of the set of all integers $n$ such that a gr...

the theorem 12 in [a note on $p$-nilpotence and solvability of finite groups, j. algebra 321(2009) 1555--1560.] investigated the non-abelian simple groups in which some maximal subgroups have primes indice. in this note we show that this result can be applied to prove that the finite groups in which every non-nilpotent maximal subgroup has prime index aresolvable.
