In this paper, without using the classification of finite simple groups, we determine the structure of  finite simple groups whose Sylow 3-subgroups are of the order 9. More precisely, we classify finite simple groups whose Sylow 3-subgroups are elementary abelian of order 9.

this is a survey article on centralizers of finite‎ ‎subgroups in locally finite‎, ‎simple groups or lfs-groups as we‎ ‎will call them‎. ‎we mention some of the open problems about‎ ‎centralizers of subgroups in lfs-groups and applications of the‎ ‎known information about the centralizers of subgroups to the‎ ‎structure of the locally finite group‎. ‎we also prove the‎ ‎following‎: ‎let $g$ be...

let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎we denote by $psi(g)$ the integer $sum_{gin g}o(g)$‎, ‎where $o(g)$ denotes the order of $g in g$‎. ‎here we show that‎ ‎$psi(a_5)< psi(g)$ for every non-simple group $g$ of order $60$‎, ‎where $a_5$ is the alternating group of degree $5$‎. ‎also we prove that $psi(psl(2,7))

in this paper we illustrate recent results about factorizations of finite groups into conjugate subgroups. the illustrated results are joint works with john cannon, dan levy, attila mar'oti and iulian i. simion.

we characterize strictly diagonal type of embeddings offinitary symmetric groups in terms of cardinality and the characteristic. namely, we prove thefollowing.let $kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. if$g=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup} g_i,$ where $ g_i=fsym(kappa n_i)$,$(h=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup}h_i, $ where $ h_i=alt(kappa n_i) ), $ is a group of strictly diagonal type and$xi=(...
