Let G be a finite group, and let cs(G) be the set of conjugacy class sizes of G. Recalling that an element g of G is called a vanishing element if there exists an irreducible character of G taking the value 0 on g, we consider one particular subset of cs(G), namely, the set vcs(G) whose elements are the conjugacy class sizes of the vanishing elements of G. Motivated by the results inBianchi et al. (2020, J. Group Theory, 23, 79–83), we describe the class of the finite groups G such that vcs(G) consists of a single element under the assumption that G is supersolvable or G has a normal Sylow 2-subgroup (in particular, groups of odd order are covered). As a particular case, we also get a characterization of finite groups having a single vanishing conjugacy class size which is either a prime power or square-free.

Abstract Let {\operatorname{acd}(G)} and {\operatorname{acs}(G)} denote the average irreducible character degree and the average conjugacy class size, respectively, of a finite group G. The object of this paper is to prove that if \operatorname{acd}(G)<2(p+1)/(p+3) , then G=O_{p}(G)\times O_{{p^{\prime}}}(G) , and that if \operatorname{acs}(G)<4p/(p\kern-1.0pt+\kern-1.0pt3) , then G=O_{p}(G)\kern-1.0pt\times\kern-1.0ptO_{{p^{\prime}}}(G) with {O_{p}(G)} abelian, where p is a prime.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be normal subgroups of a finite group [Formula: see text]. We obtain th supersolvability of a factorized group [Formula: see text], given that the conjugacy class sizes of vanishing elements of prime-power order in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are square-free.

In this paper we prove that a finite p-solvable group G is solvable if its every conjugacy class size of p′-elements with prime power order equals either 1 or m for a fixed integer m. In particular, G is 2-nilpotent if 4 does not divide every conjugacy class size of 2′-elements with prime power order.

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $\operatorname{cl}(G)$ be the set of conjugacy classes of $G$ and let $\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)$ be the largest integer such that $p^{\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)}$ divides $|C|$ for some $C\in \operatorname{cl}(G)$. We prove the following results. If $\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)=1$, then $|G:F(G)|_{p}\leq p^{4}$ if $p\geq 3$. Moreover, if $G$ is solvable, then $|G:F(G)|_{p}\leq p^{2}$.

Abstract Let G be a finite group and p a prime. Let {\operatorname{cl}(G)} be the set of conjugacy classes of G, and let {\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)} be the largest integer such that {p^{\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)}} divides {|C|} for some {C\in\operatorname{cl}(G)} . We show that if {p\geq 3} and {\operatorname{ecl}_{p}(G)=1} , then {\lvert G\mskip 1.0mu \mathord{:}\mskip 1.0mu O_{p}(G)\rvert_{p}\leq p^{3}} . This improves the main result of Y. Yang and G. Qian, On p-parts of conjugacy class sizes of finite groups, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 97 2018, 3, 406–411.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and [Formula: see text] be the set of its conjugacy class sizes. In the 1980s, Thompson conjectured that the equality [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is simple, implies the isomorphism [Formula: see text]. In a series of papers of different authors, Thompson’s conjecture was proved. In this paper, we show that in some cases it is possible to omit the conditions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is simple and prove a more general result.

Let p be a fixed prime, G a finite group and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. The main results of this paper are as follows: (1) If gcd (p-1, |G|) = 1 and p2 does not divide |xG| for any p′-element x of prime power order, then G is a solvable p-nilpotent group and a Sylow p-subgroup of G/Op(G) is elementary abelian. (2) Suppose that G is p-solvable. If pp-1 does not divide |xG| for any element x of prime power order, then the p-length of G is at most one. (3) Suppose that G is p-solvable. If pp-1 does not divide χ(1) for any χ ∈ Irr (G), then both the p-length and p′-length of G are at most 2.

Let G be a finite group. For an element x of G, xG denotes the conjugacy class of x in G. |xG| is called the size of the conjugacy class xG. In this paper, we establish several results on conjugacy class sizes of some elements of finite groups. In addition, we give a simple and clearer proof of a known result.
