Permutability of centre-by-finite groups

Brunetto Piochi (1989)

Let G be a group and m be an integer greater than or equal to 2 . G is said to be m -permutable if every product of m elements can be reordered at least in one way. We prove that, if G has a centre of finite index z , then G is ( 1 + [ z / 2 ] ) -permutable. More bounds are given on the least m such that G is m -permutable.

Su di un problema combinatorio in teoria dei gruppi

Let G be a group and n an integer 2 . We say that G has the n -permutation property ( G P n ) if, for any elements x 1 , x 2 , , x n in G , there exists some permutation σ of { 1 , 2 , , n } , σ i d . such that x 1 , x 2 , , x n = x σ ( 1 ) , x σ ( 2 ) , , x σ ( n ) . We prouve that every group G P n is an FC-nilpotent group of class n - 1 , and that a finitely generated group has the n -permutation property (for some n ) if, and only if, it is abelian by finite. We prouve also that a group G P 3 if, and only if, its derived subgroup has order at most 2.

The Ore conjecture

Martin Liebeck, E.A. O’Brien, Aner Shalev, Pham Tiep (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The Ore conjecture, posed in 1951, states that every element of every finite non-abelian simple group is a commutator. Despite considerable effort, it remains open for various infinite families of simple groups. In this paper we develop new strategies, combining character-theoretic methods with other ingredients, and use them to establish the conjecture.
