Constituents of the product of characters in odd order groups.
We present a survey of results on word equations in simple groups, as well as their analogues and generalizations, which were obtained over the past decade using various methods: group-theoretic and coming from algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, dynamical systems and computer algebra. Our focus is on interrelations of these machineries which led to numerous spectacular achievements, including solutions of several long-standing problems.
The original version of the article was published in Central European Journal of Mathematics, 2011, 9(4), 915–921, DOI: 10.2478/s11533-011-0029-8. Unfortunately, the original version of this article contains a mistake: Lemma 2.1 (2) is not true. We correct Lemma 2.2 (2) and Theorem 1.1 in our paper where this lemma was used.
In this paper we prove that all finite groups have F-injectors with respect to a saturated and extensible Fitting formation F.
Let be a finite group. We prove that if every self-centralizing subgroup of is nilpotent or subnormal or a TI-subgroup, then every subgroup of is nilpotent or subnormal. Moreover, has either a normal Sylow -subgroup or a normal -complement for each prime divisor of .
A group is said to be a -group if for every divisor of the order of , there exists a subgroup of of order such that is normal or abnormal in . We give a complete classification of those groups which are not -groups but all of whose proper subgroups are -groups.
Counting subgroups of finite groups is one of the most important topics in finite group theory. We classify the finite non-nilpotent groups whose set of numbers of subgroups of possible orders has exactly two elements. We show that if is a non-nilpotent group whose set of numbers of subgroups of possible orders has exactly 2 elements, then has a normal Sylow subgroup of prime order and is solvable. Moreover, as an application we give a detailed description of non-nilpotent groups with...
