Tits Group

In this article we give a self-contained existence and uniqueness proof for the Tits simple group T. Parrott gave the first uniqueness proof. Whereas Tits' and Parrott's results employ the theory of finite groups of Lie type, our existence and uniqueness proof follows from the general algorithms and uniqueness criteria for abstract finite simple groups described in the first author's book [11]. All we need from the previous papers is the fact that the centralizer H of the Tits group T is an extension of a 2-group J with order 29 and nilpotency class 3 by a Frobenius group F of order 20 such that the center Z(H) has order 2 and any Sylow 5-subgroup Q of H has a centralizer CJ(Q) ≤ Z(H).

Positive Results

We reduce a case of the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) in $\SL$, $\PSL$, and $\PGL$, three related families of finite groups of Lie type, to efficiently solvable HSPs in the affine group $\AGL$. These groups act on projective space in an ``almost'' 3-transitive way, and we use this fact in each group to distinguish conjugates of its Borel (upper triangular) subgroup, which is also the stabilizer subgroup of an element of projective space. Our observation is mainly group-theoretic, and as such breaks little new ground in quantum algorithms. Nonetheless, these appear to be the first positive results on the HSP in finite simple groups such as $\PSL$.

Groups Of Lie Type

AbstractA subgroup H of a group G is said to be pronormal in G if H and {H^{g}} are conjugate in {\langle H,H^{g}\rangle} for every {g\in G}. In this paper, we determine the finite simple groups of type {E_{6}(q)} and {{}^{2}E_{6}(q)} in which all the subgroups of odd index are pronormal. Thus, we complete a classification of finite simple exceptional groups of Lie type in which all the subgroups of odd index are pronormal.

A Finite Group

In this paper, we study the problem of how a finite group can be generated by some subgroups. In order to the finite simple groups, we show that any finite non-abelian simple group can be generated by two Sylow p1 - and p_2 -subgroups, where p_1  and p_2  are two different primes. We also show that for a given different prime numbers p  and q , any finite group can be generated by a Sylow p -subgroup and a q -subgroup.

Sylow Subgroups

Denote by [Formula: see text] the number of Sylow [Formula: see text]-subgroups of [Formula: see text]. For every subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], it is easy to see that [Formula: see text], but [Formula: see text] does not divide [Formula: see text] in general. Following [W. Guo and E. P. Vdovin, Number of Sylow subgroups in finite groups, J. Group Theory 21(4) (2018) 695–712], we say that a group [Formula: see text] satisfies DivSyl(p) if [Formula: see text] divides [Formula: see text] for every subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that “almost for every” finite simple group [Formula: see text], there exists a prime [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] does not satisfy DivSyl(p).

A Finite Group

In 2014, Baumslag and Wiegold proved that a finite group G is nilpotent if and only if o(xy) = o(x)o(y) for every x, y ∈ G with (o(x), o(y)) = 1. This has led to a number of results that characterize the nilpotence of a group (or the existence of nilpotent Hall subgroups, or the existence of normal Hall subgroups) in terms of prime divisors of element orders. Here, we look at these results with a new twist. The first of our main results asserts that G is nilpotent if and only if o(xy) ⩽ o(x)o(y) for every x, y ∈ G of prime power order with (o(x), o(y)) = 1. As an immediate consequence, we recover the Baumslag–Wiegold theorem. The proof of this result is elementary. We prove some variations of this result that depend on the classification of finite simple groups.

Steinberg Character

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic ρ >0. If G is a connected, simple connected, semisimple linear algebraic group defined over K and σ an endomorphism of G onto G such that the subgroup Gσ of fixed points of σ is finite, Steinberg ([6] [7]) has shown that there is a complex irreducible character χ of Gσ with the following properties. χ vanishes at all elements of Gσ which are not semi- simple, and, if x ∈ G is semisimple, χ(x) = ±n(x) where n(x)is the order of a Sylow p-subgroup of (ZG(x))σ (ZG(x) is the centraliser of x in G). If G is simple he has, in [6], identified the possible groups Gσ they are the Chevalley groups and their twisted analogues over finite fields, that is, the ‘simply connected’ versions of finite simple groups of Lie type. In this paper we show, under certain restrictions on the type of the simple algebraic group G an on the characteristic of K, that χ can be expressed as a linear combination with integral coefficients of characters induced from linear characters of certain naturally defined subgroups of Gσ. This expression for χ gives an explanation for the occurence of n(x) in the formula for χ (x), and also gives an interpretation for the ± 1 occuring in the formula in terms of invariants of the reductive algebraic group ZG(x).
