For a finite group G, let Z(G) denote the center of G and cs*(G) be the set of non-trivial conjugacy class sizes of G. In this paper, we show that if G is a finite group such that for some odd prime power q ? 4, cs*(G) = cs*(PGL2(q)), then either G ? PGL2(q) X Z(G) or G contains a normal subgroup N and a non-trivial element t ? G such that N ? PSL2(q)X Z(G), t2 ? N and G = N. ?t?. This shows that the almost simple groups cannot be determined by their set of conjugacy class sizes (up to an abelian direct factor).

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. We say that a conjugacy class of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is vanishing if there exists some irreducible character [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that finite groups with at most six vanishing conjugacy classes are solvable or almost simple groups.

A Finite Group

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 [Formula: see text] be an element of a finite group [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] a prime factor of the order of [Formula: see text]. It is clear that there always exists a unique minimal subnormal subgroup containing [Formula: see text], say [Formula: see text]. We call the conjugacy class of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] the sub-class of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], see [G. Qian and Y. Yang, On sub-class sizes of finite groups, J. Aust. Math. Soc. (2020) 402–411]. In this paper, assume that [Formula: see text] is the product of the subgroups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we investigate the solvability, [Formula: see text]-nilpotence and supersolvability of the group [Formula: see text] under the condition that the sub-class sizes of prime power order elements in [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text] free, [Formula: see text] free and square free, respectively, so that some known results relevant to conjugacy class sizes are generalized.

A Finite Group

Let G be a non-abelian group and N(G) be the set of conjugacy class sizes of G. In 1980s, Thompson posed the following conjecture: if M is a finite non-abelian simple group, G is a finite group with Z(G) = 1 and N(G) = N(M), then M ≅ G. Here, we prove Thompson's conjecture holds for all almost sporadic simple groups.

Abstract Given a finite group G with a normal subgroup N, the simple graph $\Gamma _{\textit {G}}( \textit {N} )$ is a graph whose vertices are of the form $|x^G|$ , where $x\in {N\setminus {Z(G)}}$ and $x^G$ is the G-conjugacy class of N containing the element x. Two vertices $|x^G|$ and $|y^G|$ are adjacent if they are not coprime. We prove that, if $\Gamma _G(N)$ is a connected incomplete regular graph, then $N= P \times {A}$ where P is a p-group, for some prime p, $A\leq {Z(G)}$ and $\textbf {Z}(N)\not = N\cap \textbf {Z}(G)$ .

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined as follows. The vertices of Γ(G) are the primes dividing the order of G and two distinct vertices p, p′ are joined by an edge if there is an element in G of order pp′. In [G. Y. Chen et al., Recognition of the finite almost simple groups PGL2(q) by their spectrum, Journal of Group Theory, 10 (2007) 71–85], it is proved that PGL(2, pk), where p is an odd prime and k > 1 is an integer, is recognizable by its spectrum. It is proved that if p > 19 is a prime number which is not a Mersenne or Fermat prime and Γ(G) = Γ(PGL(2, p)), then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor which is isomorphic to PSL(2, p). In this paper as the main result, we show that if p is an odd prime and k > 1 is an odd integer, then PGL(2, pk) is uniquely determined by its prime graph and so these groups are characterizable by their prime graphs.

Let $G$ be a finite group with two primitive permutation representations on the sets $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ be the corresponding permutation characters. We consider the case in which the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ coincides with the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$, that is, for every $g\in G$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(g)=0$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}(g)=0$. We have conjectured in Spiga [‘Permutation characters and fixed-point-free elements in permutation groups’, J. Algebra299(1) (2006), 1–7] that under this hypothesis either $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ or one of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ is a genuine character. In this paper we give evidence towards the veracity of this conjecture when the socle of $G$ is a sporadic simple group or an alternating group. In particular, the conjecture is reduced to the case of almost simple groups of Lie type.

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.
