Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements‎ ‎if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute‎. ‎In this paper‎ ‎we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite‎ ‎non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup‎.

‎‎The equivalence relation isoclinism partitions the class of all pairs of groups‎ ‎into families‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎a complete classification of the set of all pairs $(G,G')$ is established‏‎,‎ whenever‎ $G$ is a $p$-group of order at most $p^5‎‏$‎ and ‎$p$ is a prime number greater than 3. Moreover‎, ‎the classification of pairs $(H,H')$ for extra special $p$-groups $H$ is also given.

‎the number of factorizations of a finite abelian group as the product of two subgroups is computed in two different ways and a combinatorial identity involving gaussian binomial coefficients is presented‎.

in this note we are going to survey several invariants of finite groups related either to their orders or to generating sets or to lattices of subgroups. some relations among these invariants will be exhibited. special attention will be paid to monotonicity of them.

for a finite group $g$‎, ‎we study the total character $tau_g$‎ ‎afforded by the direct sum of all the non-isomorphic irreducible‎ ‎complex representations of $g$‎. ‎we resolve for several classes of‎ ‎groups (the camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the generalized camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the groups which admit $(g,z(g))$ as a generalized camina pair)‎, ‎the problem of existence of a‎ ‎polynomial $f(x) in mathbb...

Our concern in this paper is to obtain information about the structure of centralizers of elements of locally finite simple groups, in the light of the classification of finite simple groups (CFSG). This classification, in the form that the number of sporadic simple groups is finite, is frequently used, as seems inevitable if real progress with locally finite simple groups is to be made.
