Note on a variant of the Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv problem
We show that if the average number of (nonnormal) Sylow subgroups of a finite group is less than then is solvable or . This generalizes an earlier result by the third author.
In the present paper, we classify groups with the same order and degree pattern as an almost simple group related to the projective special linear simple group . As a consequence of this result we can give a positive answer to a conjecture of W. J. Shi and J. X. Bi, for all almost simple groups related to except . Also, we prove that if is an almost simple group related to except and is a finite group such that and , then .
A finite solvable group G is called an X-group if the subnormal subgroups of G permute with all the system normalizers of G. It is our purpose here to determine some of the properties of X-groups. Subgroups and quotient groups of X-groups are X-groups. Let M and N be normal subgroups of a group G of relatively prime order. If G/M and G/N are X-groups, then G is also an X-group. Let the nilpotent residual L of G be abelian. Then G is an X-group if and only if G acts by conjugation on L as a group...
By constructing appropriate faithful simple modules for the group GL(2,3), the author shows that certain "local" definitions for formations are not equivalent.
