The Number of Solutions of x3 = 1 in a 3-Group.
The Ore conjecture, posed in 1951, states that every element of every finite non-abelian simple group is a commutator. Despite considerable effort, it remains open for various infinite families of simple groups. In this paper we develop new strategies, combining character-theoretic methods with other ingredients, and use them to establish the conjecture.
For a finite group and a fixed Sylow -subgroup of , Ballester-Bolinches and Guo proved in 2000 that is -nilpotent if every element of with order lies in the center of and when , either every element of with order lies in the center of or is quaternion-free and is -nilpotent. Asaad introduced weakly pronormal subgroup of in 2014 and proved that is -nilpotent if every element of with order is weakly pronormal in and when , every element of with order is also...
Let be a prime number. This paper introduces the Roquette category of finite -groups, which is an additive tensor category containing all finite -groups among its objects. In , every finite -group admits a canonical direct summand , called the edge of . Moreover splits uniquely as a direct sum of edges of Roquette -groups, and the tensor structure of can be described in terms of such edges. The main motivation for considering this category is that the additive functors from to...
Let be a finite group. The main supergraph is a graph with vertex set in which two vertices and are adjacent if and only if or . In this paper, we will show that if and only if . As a main consequence of our result we conclude that Thompson’s problem is true for the small Ree group .
