For a finite group $G$ and a fixed Sylow $p$-subgroup $P$ of $G$, Ballester-Bolinches and Guo proved in 2000 that $G$ is $p$-nilpotent if every element of $P\cap G^{\text{'}}$ with order $p$ lies in the center of $N_G\left(P\right)$ and when $p=2$, either every element of $P\cap G^{\text{'}}$ with order $4$ lies in the center of $N_G\left(P\right)$ or $P$ is quaternion-free and $N_G\left(P\right)$ is $2$-nilpotent. Asaad introduced weakly pronormal subgroup of $G$ in 2014 and proved that $G$ is $p$-nilpotent if every element of $P$ with order $p$ is weakly pronormal in $G$ and when $p=2$, every element of $P$ with...

Let $\sigma =\{{\sigma }_i:i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$, $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma \left(G\right)=\{{\sigma }_i:{\sigma }_i\cap \pi \left(G\right)\ne \varnothing \}$. A set $\mathscr{H}$ of subgroups of $G$ is said to be a complete Hall $\sigma$-set of $G$ if every non-identity member of $\mathscr{H}$ is a Hall ${\sigma }_i$-subgroup of $G$ and $\mathscr{H}$ contains exactly one Hall ${\sigma }_i$-subgroup of $G$ for every ${\sigma }_i\in \sigma \left(G\right)$. $G$ is said to be $\sigma$-full if $G$ possesses a complete Hall $\sigma$-set. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is $\sigma$-permutable in $G$ if $G$ possesses a complete Hall $\sigma$-set $\mathscr{H}$ such that $H{A}^x$= $A^{x}H$ for all $A\in \mathscr{H}$ and all $x\in G$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is $\sigma$-permutably embedded in...

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a group $G$. The structure of $N$ is given when the $G$-conjugacy class sizes of $N$ is a set of a special kind. In fact, we give the structure of a normal subgroup $N$ under the assumption that the set of $G$-conjugacy class sizes of $N$ is $(p_{1n_1}^{a_{1n_1}},\cdots ,p_{11}^{a_{11}},1)\times \cdots \times (p_{r{n}_r}^{a_{r{n}_r}},\cdots ,p_{r1}^{a_{r1}},1)$, where $r>1$, $n_i>1$ and $p_{ij}$ are distinct primes for $i\in \{1,2,\cdots ,r\}$, $j\in \{1,2,\cdots ,n_i\}$.

A theorem of Burnside asserts that a finite group $G$ is $p$-nilpotent if for some prime $p$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ lies in the center of its normalizer. In this paper, let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ the smallest prime divisor of $\left|G\right|$, the order of $G$. Let $P\in {\mathrm{Syl}}_p\left(G\right)$. As a generalization of Burnside’s theorem, it is shown that if every non-cyclic $p$-subgroup of $G$ is self-normalizing or normal in $G$ then $G$ is solvable. In particular, if $P\ncong \langle a,b|a^{p^{n-1}}=1,b^2=1,b^{-1}ab=a^{1+p^{n-2}}\rangle$, where $n\ge 3$ for $p>2$ and $n\ge 4$ for $p=2$, then $G$ is $p$-nilpotent or $p$-closed. ...

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be $ss$-supplemented in $G$ if there exists a subgroup $K$ of $G$ such that $G=HK$ and $H\cap K$ is $s$-permutable in $K$. In this paper, we first give an example to show that the conjecture in A. A. Heliel’s paper (2014) has negative solutions. Next, we prove that a finite group $G$ is solvable if every subgroup of odd prime order of $G$ is $ss$-supplemented in $G$, and that $G$ is solvable if and only if every Sylow subgroup of odd order of $G$ is $ss$-supplemented in $G$. These results...

We study the group structure in terms of the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups, which is denoted by $n_p\left(G\right)$. The first part is on the group structure of finite group $G$ such that $n_p\left(G\right)=n_p(G/N)$, where $N$ is a normal subgroup of $G$. The second part is on the average Sylow number $\mathrm{asn}\left(G\right)$ and we prove that if $G$ is a finite nonsolvable group with $\mathrm{asn}\left(G\right)<39/4$ and $\mathrm{asn}\left(G\right)\ne 29/4$, then $G/F\left(G\right)\cong A_5$, where $F\left(G\right)$ is the Fitting subgroup of $G$. In the third part, we study the nonsolvable group with small sum of Sylow numbers.

Let $G$ be a group. If every nontrivial subgroup of $G$ has a proper supplement, then $G$ is called an $aS$-group. We study some properties of $aS$-groups. For instance, it is shown that a nilpotent group $G$ is an $aS$-group if and only if $G$ is a subdirect product of cyclic groups of prime orders. We prove that if $G$ is an $aS$-group which satisfies the descending chain condition on subgroups, then $G$ is finite. Among other results, we characterize all abelian groups for which every nontrivial quotient group...

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be conjugate-permutable if $H{H}^g=H^{g}H$ for all $g\in G$. More generaly, if we limit the element $g$ to a subgroup $R$ of $G$, then we say that the subgroup $H$ is $R$-conjugate-permutable. By means of the $R$-conjugate-permutable subgroups, we investigate the relationship between the nilpotence of $G$ and the $R$-conjugate-permutability of the Sylow subgroups of $A$ and $B$ under the condition that $G=AB$, where $A$ and $B$ are subgroups of $G$. Some results known in the literature are improved...
