Finite p-groups whose nonnormal subgroups are metacyclic

For an odd prime p,we give a criterion for finite p-groups whose nonnormal subgroups are metacyclic,and based on the criterion,the p-groups whose nonnormal subgroups are metacyclic are classified up to isomorphism.This solves a problem proposed by Berkovich.

The Subgroups of Finite Metacyclic Groups

In this paper, the author characterizes the subgroups of a finite metacyclic group K by building a one to one correspondence between certain 3-tuples(k, l, β) ∈ N3 and all the subgroups of K. The results are applied to compute some subgroups of K as well as to study the structure and the number of p-subgroups of K, where p is a fixed prime number. In addition, the author gets a factorization of K, and then studies the metacyclic p-groups, gives a different classification, and describes the characteristic subgroups of a given metacyclic p-group when p ≥ 3. A "reciprocity" relation on enumeration of subgroups of a metacyclic group is also given.

On the construction of irreducible characters in p-blocks with normal metacyclic defect groups

The author carries out a detailed study of p-blocks with normal metacyclic defect groups provided that p is odd and the defect groups are splitting and nonabelian.In particular,the author constructs all the irreducible ordinary and modular characters in this type of blocks.As a by-product,k(B) and l(B) are obtained.

Tables of Pure Quintic Fields

By making use of our generalization of Barrucand and Cohn’s theory of principal factorizations in pure cubic fields and their Galois closures with 3 possible types to pure quintic fields and their pure metacyclic normal fields with 13 possible types, we compile an extensive database with arithmetical invariants of the 900 pairwise non-isomorphic fields N having normalized radicands in the range 2≤D3. Our classification is based on the Galois cohomology of the unit group UN, viewed as a module over the automorphism group Gal(N/K) of N over the cyclotomic field K=Q(ξ5), by employing theorems of Hasse and Iwasawa on the Herbrand quotient of the unit norm index (Uk:NN/K(UN)) by the number #(PN/K/PK) of primitive ambiguous principal ideals, which can be interpreted as principal factors of the different DN/K. The precise structure of the F5-vector space of differential principal factors is expressed in terms of norm kernels and central orthogonal idempotents. A connection with integral representation theory is established via class number relations by Parry and Walter involving the index of subfield units (UN:U0).?The statistical distribution of the 13 principal factorization types and their refined splitting into similarity classes with representative prototypes is discussed thoroughly.

On Hua-Tuan's conjecture

Let G be a finite group and |G| = pn, p be a prime. For 0 m n, sm(G) denotes the number of subgroups of of order pm of G. Loo-Keng Hua and Hsio-Fu Tuan have ever conjectured: for an arbitrary finite p-group G, if p > 2, then sm(G) ≡ 1, 1 + p, 1 + p + p2 or 1 + p + 2p2 (mod p3). In this paper, we investigate the conjecture, and give some p-groups in which the conjecture holds and some examples in which the conjecture does not hold.

Finite p-Groups in Which the Number of Subgroups of Possible Order Is Less Than or Equal to p^3

In this paper, groups of order p^n in which the number of subgroups of possible order is less than or equal to p3 ale classified. It turns out that if p 〉 2, n≥ 5, then the classification of groups of order p^n in which the number of subgroups of possible order is less than or equal to p3 and the classification of groups of order p^n with a cyclic subgroup of index p2 are the same.

Finite p-Groups Whose Subgroups of Given Order are Isomorphic and Minimal Non-abelian

Finite p-groups whose subgroups of given order are isomorphic and minimal non-abelian are classified. In addition, two results on a chain condition of At-groups are improved.

Finite 2-generator equilibrated p-groups

Following Blackburn, Deaconescu and Mann, a group G is called an equilibrated group if for any subgroups H,K of G with HK = KH, either H≤NG(K) or K≤NG(H). Continuing their work and based on the classification of metacyclic p-groups given by Newman and Xu, we give a complete classification of 2-generator equilibrated p-groups in this note.

A Characterization of the Smallest Suzuki 2-Group

Let G be a finite nonabelian group which has no abelian maximal subgroups and satisfies that any two non-commutative elements generate a maximal subgroup. Then G is isomorphic to the smallest Suzuki 2-group of order 64.

THE GENERALIZED EISENSTEIN CRITERION

The Eisenstein Criterion is a sharp tool, i.e. a sufficient condition to judge a polynomial irreducible by using the coefficients of the polynomial. In particular, it plays an important role in studying totally ramified extensions of local fields. In this report, we shall generalize the Eisenstein Criterion for totally ramified extensions of local fields, and then we can get some results about extensions of local fields, that is to say, the conditions of tamely ramified extensions are cyclic or metacyclic.
