Conjugacy classes of maximal cyclic subgroups and nilpotence class of -groups
M. Bianchi, R. D. Camina, Mark L. Lewis
In this paper, we set to be the number of conjugacy classes of maximal cyclic subgroups of . We prove that if is a -group of order and nilpotence class ,…
Conjugacy classes of maximal cyclic subgroups
M. Bianchi, R. D. Camina, Mark L. Lewis +1
In this paper, we set to be the number of conjugacy classes of maximal cyclic subgroups of . We consider and direct and semi-direct products. We characterize the norm…
Restrictions on sets of conjugacy class sizes in arithmetic progressions
Alan R. Camina, Rachel D. Camina
We continue the investigation, that began in [3] and [4], into finite groups whose set of nontrivial conjugacy class sizes form an arithmetic progression. Let be a finite group…
Word problems for finite nilpotent groups
Rachel D. Camina, Ainhoa Iniguez, Anitha Thillaisundaram
Let be a word in variables. For a finite nilpotent group , a conjecture of Amit states that , where is the number of -tuples $(g_1,...,…
On solvable groups with one vanishing class size
Mariagrazia Bianchi, Rachel D. Camina, Mark L. Lewis +1
Let be a finite group, and let cs be the set of conjugacy class sizes of . Recalling that an element of is called a \emph{vanishing element} if there exists an…
On vanishing class sizes in finite groups
Mariagrazia Bianchi, Julian M. A. Brough, Rachel D. Camina +1
Let be a finite group. An element of is called a vanishing element if there exists an irreducible character of such that ; in this case, we say that t…
