On the maximal subgroups of almost simple and primitive perfect groups
Patricia Medina Capilla, Luca Sabatini
We prove that, if is a finite almost simple group and is a maximal subgroup of , then the th term of the derived series of is perfect. The same is true if is…
Cayley graphs of quasirandom groups
Luca Sabatini
A finite group is -quasirandom if all its nontrivial irreducible complex representations have degree at least . Building on recent work of Golsefi…
The base size of vertex-transitive cubic graphs
Marco Barbieri, Luca Sabatini, Pablo Spiga
We prove that if is a finite connected vertex-transitive cubic graph, then either , or is a split Praeger--Xu graph, or there exist two vertices and $Î…
Expanding groups with large diameter
Sean Eberhard, Luca Sabatini
We study how the spectral gap and diameter of Cayley graphs depend strongly on the choice of generating set. We answer a question of Pyber and Szabó (2013) by exhibiting a sequenc…
Groups that produce expander graphs
Luca Sabatini
We survey the known group properties that a sequence of finite groups or group actions needs to satisfy to admit subsets of bounded cardinality producing expander Cayley or Schreie…
Quasirandom and quasisimple groups
Marco Barbieri, Luca Sabatini
Fix . We say that a finite group is -quasirandom if every nontrivial irreducible complex representation of has degree at least $|G|^\varepsilo…
