A variation of Thompson's conjecture for the symmetric groups

Mahdi Abedei, Ali Iranmanesh, Farrokh Shirjian (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let G be a finite group and let N ( G ) denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of G . Thompson’s conjecture states that if G is a centerless group and S is a non-abelian simple group satisfying N ( G ) = N ( S ) , then G S . In this paper, we investigate a variation of this conjecture for some symmetric groups under a weaker assumption. In particular, it is shown that G Sym ( p + 1 ) if and only if | G | = ( p + 1 ) ! and G has a special conjugacy class of size ( p + 1 ) ! / p , where p > 5 is a prime number. Consequently, if G is a centerless group with N ( G ) = N ( Sym ( p + 1 ) ) , then G Sym ( p + 1 ) .

Let G be any group and let A be an abelian quasinormal subgroup of G . If n is any positive integer, either odd or divisible by 4 , then we prove that the subgroup A n is also quasinormal in G .

Active sums I.

Given a generating family F of subgroups of a group G closed under conjugation and with partial order compatible with inclusion, a new group S can be constructed, taking into account the multiplication in the subgroups and their mutual actions given by conjugation. The group S is called the active sum of F, has G as a homomorph and is such that S/Z(S) ≅ G/Z(G) where Z denotes the center.The basic question we investigate in this paper is: when is the active sum S of the family F isomorphic to the...

Algorithms for permutability in finite groups

Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches, Enric Cosme-Llópez, Ramón Esteban-Romero (2013)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we describe some algorithms to identify permutable and Sylow-permutable subgroups of finite groups, Dedekind and Iwasawa finite groups, and finite T-groups (groups in which normality is transitive), PT-groups (groups in which permutability is transitive), and PST-groups (groups in which Sylow permutability is transitive). These algorithms have been implemented in a package for the computer algebra system GAP.
