Classification of finite groups with many minimal subgroups and with the number of conjugacy classes of G/S(G) equal to 8.

Antonio Vera López, Jesús María Arregi Lizarraga, Francisco José Vera López (1990)

Collectanea Mathematica

In this paper we classify all the finite groups satisfying r(G/S(G))=8 and ß(G)=r(G) - a(G) - 1, where r(G) is the number of conjugacy classes of G, ß(G) is the number of minimal normal subgroups of G, S(G) the socle of G and a(G) the number of conjugacy classes of G out of S(G). These results are a contribution to the general problem of the classification of the finite groups according to the number of conjugacy classes.

Finite Groups as the Union of Proper Subgroups

Zhang, Jiping (2006)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20D60,20E15.As is known, if a finite solvable group G is an n-sum group then n − 1 is a prime power. It is an interesting problem in group theory to study for which numbers n with n-1 > 1 and not a prime power there exists a finite n-sum group. In this paper we mainly study finite nonsolvable n-sum groups and show that 15 is the first such number. More precisely, we prove that there exist no finite 11-sum or 13-sum groups and there is indeed a finite 15-sum...

Finite groups with globally permutable lattice of subgroups

C. Bagiński, A. Sakowicz (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The notions of permutable and globally permutable lattices were first introduced and studied by J. Krempa and B. Terlikowska-Osłowska [4]. These are lattices preserving many interesting properties of modular lattices. In this paper all finite groups with globally permutable lattices of subgroups are described. It is shown that such finite p-groups are exactly the p-groups with modular lattices of subgroups, and that the non-nilpotent groups form an essentially larger class though they have a description...

Finite groups with modular chains

Roland Schmidt (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In 1954, Kontorovich and Plotkin introduced the concept of a modular chain in a lattice to obtain a lattice-theoretic characterization of the class of torsion-free nilpotent groups. We determine the structure of finite groups with modular chains. It turns out that this class of groups lies strictly between the class of finite groups with lower semimodular subgroup lattice and the projective closure of the class of finite nilpotent groups.
