The structure of the commutator subgroup of Sylow 2-subgroups of an alternating group A 2 k is determined. This work continues the previous investigations of me, where minimal generating sets for Sylow 2-subgroups of alternating groups were constructed. Here we study the commutator subgroup of these groups. The minimal generating set of the commutator subgroup of A 2 k is constructed. It is shown that ( S y l 2 A 2 k ) 2 = S y l 2 ′ A 2 k , k > 2 . It serves to solve quadratic equations in this group, as were solved by Lysenok I. in the Grigorchuk group. It is proved that the commutator length of an arbitrary element of the iterated wreath product of cyclic groups C p i , p i ∈ N equals to 1. The commutator width of direct limit of wreath product of cyclic groups is found. Upper bounds for the commutator width ( c w ( G ) ) of a wreath product of groups are presented in this paper. A presentation in form of wreath recursion of Sylow 2-subgroups S y l 2 ( A 2 k ) of A 2 k is introduced. As a result, a short proof that the commutator width is equal to 1 for Sylow 2-subgroups of alternating group A 2 k , where k > 2 , the permutation group S 2 k , as well as Sylow p-subgroups of S y l 2 A p k as well as S y l 2 S p k ) are equal to 1 was obtained. A commutator width of permutational wreath product B ≀ C n is investigated. An upper bound of the commutator width of permutational wreath product B ≀ C n for an arbitrary group B is found. The size of a minimal generating set for the commutator subgroup of Sylow 2-subgroup of the alternating group is found. The proofs were assisted by the computer algebra system GAP.

It is known that every element in the alternating group A n , with n ≥ 5 , can be written as a product of at most two Engel words of arbitrary length. However, it is still unknown if every element in an alternating group is an Engel word of Arbitrary length. In this paper, a different approach to this problem is presented, getting new results for small alternating groups.

In this paper, which is a continuation of [4], the necessary theoretical background is given to enable the calculation of the irreducible Brauer projective characters of a given finite group to be carried out. As an example, this calculation is done for the alternating group A (7) in §3. In a future paper the calculations for the Mathieu groups will be presented.


Let $P$ be a probability on a finite group $G$, $U(g)=\frac{1}{|G|}$ the uniform (trivial) probability on the group $G$, $P^{(n)}=P *\ldots*P$ an $n$-fold convolution of $P$. A lot of estimates of the rate of the convergence $P^{(n)}\rightarrow U$ are found in different norms. It is well known conditions under which $P^{(n)}\rightarrow U$ if $n\rightarrow\infty$. Many papers are devoted to estimating the rate of this convergence for different norms. We consider finite groups that have a double transitive representation by substitutions and the probability that naturally arises in this image. This probability on each element of the group is proportional to the number of fixed (or stationary) points of this element, which is considered as a substitution. In other words, this probability is a character of the substitution representation of the group. A probability is called class if it takes the same values on each class of conjugate elements of a group, that is, it is a function of the class. The considered probability is class because any character of a group takes on the same values on conjugate elements. Any probability (and, in general, functions with values in an arbitrary ring) on a group can be associated with an element of the group algebra of this group over this ring. The class probability corresponds to an element of the center of this group algebra; that is why the class probability is also called central. On an abelian group, any probability is class (central). In the paper convergence with respect to the norm $\|F\|=\sum\limits_{g\in G} |F(g)|$, where $F(g)$ is a function on group $G$, is considered. For the norm an exact formula not estimate only, as usual for rate of convergence of convolution $P^{(n)}\rightarrow U$ is given. It turns out that the norm of the difference $\|P^{(n)}-U\|$ is determined by the order of the group, degree the group as a substitution group, and the number of regular substitutions in the group. A substitution is called regular if it has no fixed points. Special cases are considered the symmetric group, the alternating group, the Zassenhaus group, and the Frobenius group of order $p(p-1)$ with the Frobenius core of order $p$ ($p$ is a prime number). A Zassenhaus group is a double transitive substitution group of a finite set in which only a trivial substitution leaves more than two elements of this set fixed.

We prove that the spectrum of a Cayley graph over a finite group with a normal generating set S containing with every its element s all generators of the cyclic group 〈s〉 is integral. In particular, a Cayley graph of a 2-group generated by a normal set of involutions is integral. We prove that a Cayley graph over the symmetric group of degree n no less than 2 generated by all transpositions is integral. We find the spectrum of a Cayley graph over the alternating group of degree n no less than 4 with a generating set of 3-cycles of the form (k i j) with fixed k, as {−n+1, 1−n+1, 22 −n+1, …, (n−1)2 −n+1}.

In this paper, we prove that a finite group G is isomorphic to the alternating group An with n≥5 if and only if they have the same set of the orders of solvable subgroups.

We classify imprimitive groups inducing the alternating group A4 on the set of blocks, with the inertia subgroup satisfying some very natural geometrical conditions which force the group to operate linearly.
