Finite groups with -subnormal conditions.
Suppose G is a finite group and H is a subgroup of G. H is called weakly s-permutably embedded in G if there are a subnormal subgroup T of G and an s-permutably embedded subgroup of G contained in H such that G = HT and ; H is called weakly s-supplemented in G if there is a subgroup T of G such that G = HT and , where is the subgroup of H generated by all those subgroups of H which are s-permutable in G. We investigate the influence of the existence of s-permutably embedded and weakly s-supplemented...
Suppose that is a finite group and is a subgroup of . Subgroup is said to be weakly -supplemented in if there exists a subgroup of such that (1) , and (2) if is a maximal subgroup of , then , where is the largest normal subgroup of contained in . We fix in every noncyclic Sylow subgroup of a subgroup satisfying and study the -nilpotency of under the assumption that every subgroup of with is weakly -supplemented in . Some recent results are generalized.
We prove that all finite simple groups of Lie type, with the exception of the Suzuki groups, can be made into a family of expanders in a uniform way. This confirms a conjecture of Babai, Kantor and Lubotzky from 1989, which has already been proved by Kassabov for sufficiently large rank. The bounded rank case is deduced here from a uniform result for which is obtained by combining results of Selberg and Drinfeld via an explicit construction of Ramanujan graphs by Lubotzky, Samuels and Vishne.
