A conjugacy class C of a finite group G is a sign conjugacy class if every irreducible character of G takes value 0, 1 or −1 on C. In this paper we classify the sign conjugacy classes of the symmetric groups and thereby verify a conjecture of Olsson.

The conjugacy problem and the inverse conjugacy problem of a finitely generated group are defined, from a language theoretic point of view, as sets of pairs of words. An automaton might be obliged to read the two input words synchronously, or could have the option to read asynchronously. Hence each class of languages gives rise to four classes of groups; groups whose (inverse) conjugacy problem...

It is proved that for any prime p a finitely generated nilpotent group is conjugacy separable in the class of finite p-groups if and only if the tor-sion subgroup of it is a finite p-group and the quotient group by the torsion subgroup is abelian. 1. Let K be a class of groups. A group G is called residual K (or K-residual) if for each non-unit element a ∈ G there is a homomorphism ϕ of G onto ...

‎There are a few finite groups that are determined up to isomorphism solely by their order, such as $mathbb{Z}_{2}$ or $mathbb{Z}_{15}$. Still other finite groups are determined by their order together with other data, such as the number of elements of each order, the structure of the prime graph, the number of order components, the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups for each prime $p$, etc. In this...

(A) We study in this paper topological properties of conjugacy classes in Polish groups. There are two questions which we are particularly interested in. First, does a Polish group G have a dense conjugacy class? This is equivalent (see, e.g., Kechris [95, 8.47]) to the following generic ergodicity property of G: Every conjugacy invariant subset A ⊆ G with the Baire property (e.g., a Borel set)...

By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple conjugacy classes of a nite group of Lie type to the conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. Picking a semisimple class uniformly at random yields a probability measure on conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. We conjecture that this measure agrees with a second measure on conjugacy classes of the Weyl group induced by a construction of ...

We prove the Arad–Herzog conjecture for various families of finite simple groups — if A and B are nontrivial conjugacy classes, then AB is not a conjugacy class. We also prove that if G is a finite simple group of Lie type and A and B are nontrivial conjugacy classes, either both semisimple or both unipotent, then AB is not a conjugacy class. We also prove a strong version of the Arad–Herzog co...

We give a classification of two-generator p-groups of nilpotency class 2. Using this classification, we give a formula for the number of such groups of order p in terms of the partitions of n of length 3, and find formulas for the number and size of their conjugacy classes.

We give a complete description of the size conjugacy classes automorphism group random graph with respect to Christensen's Haar null ideal. It is shown that every non-Haar class contains translated copy nonempty portion compact set and there are continuum many classes. Our methods also yield new proof an old result Truss.
