The Ore conjecture

Martin Liebeck, E.A. O’Brien, Aner Shalev, Pham Tiep (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

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.

The p -nilpotency of finite groups with some weakly pronormal subgroups

Jianjun Liu, Jian Chang, Guiyun Chen (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

For a finite group G and a fixed Sylow p -subgroup P of G , Ballester-Bolinches and Guo proved in 2000 that G is p -nilpotent if every element of P G ' with order p lies in the center of N G ( P ) and when p = 2 , either every element of P G ' with order 4 lies in the center of N G ( P ) or P is quaternion-free and N G ( P ) is 2 -nilpotent. Asaad introduced weakly pronormal subgroup of G in 2014 and proved that G is p -nilpotent if every element of P with order p is weakly pronormal in G and when p = 2 , every element of P with order 4 is also...

The Roquette category of finite p -groups

Serge Bouc (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let p be a prime number. This paper introduces the Roquette category p of finite p -groups, which is an additive tensor category containing all finite p -groups among its objects. In p , every finite p -group P admits a canonical direct summand P , called the edge of P . Moreover P splits uniquely as a direct sum of edges of Roquette p -groups, and the tensor structure of p can be described in terms of such edges. The main motivation for considering this category is that the additive functors from p to...

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let G be a finite group. The main supergraph 𝒮 ( G ) is a graph with vertex set G in which two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if o ( x ) o ( y ) or o ( y ) o ( x ) . In this paper, we will show that G 2 G 2 ( 3 2 n + 1 ) if and only if 𝒮 ( G ) 𝒮 ( 2 G 2 ( 3 2 n + 1 ) ) . As a main consequence of our result we conclude that Thompson’s problem is true for the small Ree group 2 G 2 ( 3 2 n + 1 ) .
