We introduce and study the lattice of normal subgroups of a group G that determine solitary quotients. It is closely connected to the well-known lattice of solitary subgroups of G, see [Kaplan G., Levy D., Solitary subgroups, Comm. Algebra, 2009, 37(6), 1873–1883]. A precise description of this lattice is given for some particular classes of finite groups.
A Fitting set is called elementary if it consists of the subnormal subgroups of the conjugates of a given subgroup. In this paper we analyse the structure of the finite solvable groups in which every Fitting set is the insiemistic union of elementary Fitting sets whose intersection is the subgroup 1.
Let be a group and let be a finite subset. The isoperimetric method investigates the objective function , defined on the subsets with and , where is the product of by .In this paper we present all the basic facts about the isoperimetric method. We improve some of our previous results and obtain generalizations and short proofs for several known results. We also give some new applications.Some of the results obtained here will be used in coming papers to improve Kempermann structure...
In this expository paper, we present several open problerns in number theory that have arisen while doing research in group theory. These problems are on arithmetical functions or partitions. Solving some of these problems would allow to solve some open problem in group theory.[Proceedings of the Primeras Jornadas de Teoría de Números (Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), 30 June - 2 July 2005)].
