On Finite Groups with Special Conjugacy Classes

Let G be a finite group with the property that for any conjugacy class order, G has exactly two conjugacy classes which have the same order. We prove that： （1） ff a Sylow 2-subgroup of G is Abelian, then G is isomorphic to the direct product of symmetric group with order 3 and cyclic group with order 2, or G is isomorphic to the semidirect product of a cyclic group with order 3 and a cyclic group with order 4; （2） if G＇ is nilpotent, then G is a group of {2,3,5 }.

Toric Heaps, Cyclic Reducibility, and Conjugacy in Coxeter Groups

In 1986, G.X. Viennot introduced the theory of heaps of pieces as a visualization of Cartier and Foata’s “partially commutative monoids”. These are essentially labeled posets satisfying a few additional properties, and one natural setting where they arise is as models of reduced words in Coxeter groups. In this paper, we introduce a cyclic version of a heap, which loosely speaking, can be thought of as taking a heap and wrapping it into a cylinder. We call this object a toric heap, because we formalize it as a labeled toric poset, which is a cyclic version of an ordinary poset. Defining the category of toric heaps leads to the notion of certain morphisms such as toric extensions. We study toric heaps in Coxeter theory, because a cyclic shift of a reduced word is simply a conjugate by an initial or terminal generator. As such, we formalize and study a framework that we call cyclic reducibility in Coxeter theory, which is closely related to conjugacy. We introduce what it means for elements to be torically reduced, which is a stronger condition than simply being cyclically reduced. Along the way, we encounter a new class of elements that we call torically fully commutative (TFC), which are those that have a unique cyclic commutativity class, and comprise a strictly bigger class than the cyclically fully commutative (CFC) elements. We prove several cyclic analogues of results on fully commutative (FC) elements due to Stembridge. We conclude with how this framework fits into recent work in Coxeter groups, and we correct a minor flaw in a few recently published theorems.

QUASI-LOCAL CONJUGACY THEOREMS IN BANACH SPACES

Let f ： U（x0） belong to E → F be a C^1 map and f＇（x0） be the Frechet derivative of f at x0. In local analysis of nonlinear functional analysis, implicit function theorem, inverse function theorem, local surjectivity theorem, local injectivity theorem, and the local conjugacy theorem are well known. Those theorems are established by using the properties： f＇（x0） is double splitting and R（f＇（x）） ∩ N（T0^＋） = {0} near x0. However, in infinite dimensional Banach spaces, f＇（x0） is not always double splitting （i.e., the generalized inverse of f（x0） does not always exist）, but its bounded outer inverse of f＇（x0） always exists. Only using the C^1 map f and the outer inverse To^# of f（x0）, the authors obtain two quasi-local conjugacy theorems, which imply the local conjugacy theorem if x0 is a locally fine point of f. Hence the quasi-local conjugacy theorems generalize the local conjugacy theorem in Banach spaces.

Multiplicity one, local and global conjugacy

The issue of local and global conjugacy is closely related to the multiplicity one property in representation theory and the Langlands program. In this article we give first families of connected instances for SO2N where the multiplicity one fails in both aspects of representation theory and automorphic forms with certain assumptions on the Langlands functoriality.

Local conjugacy theorem, rank theorems in advanced calculus and a generalized principle for constructing Banach manifolds

Applications of locally fine property for operators are further developed. Let E and F be Banach spaces and f: U( x0) E—→F be C1 nonlinear map, where U (x0) is an open set containing point x0∈ E. With the locally fine property for Frechet derivatives f’ (x) and generalized rank theorem for f ’( x), a local conjugacy theorem, i. e. a characteristic condition for f being conjugate to f (x0) near x0,is proved. This theorem gives a complete answer to the local conjugacy problem. Consequently, several rank theorems in advanced calculus are established, including a theorem for C1 Fredholm map which has been so far unknown. Also with this property the concept of regular value is extended, which gives rise to a generalized principle for constructing Banach submanifolds.

(1.2)INVERSES OF OPERATORS BETWEEN BANACH SPACES AND LOCAL CONJUGACY THEOREM

Let E and F be Banach spaces and f non-linear C1 map from E into F. The main result isTheorem 2.2, in which a connection between local conjugacy problem of f at x0E and a localfine property of f'(x) at x0(see the Definition 1.1 in this paper) are obtained. This theoremincludes as special cases the two known theorems: the finite rank theorem and Berger's Theoremfor non-linear Fredholm operators. Moreover, the thcorem gives rise the further results for somenon-linear semi-Fredholm maps and for all non-linear semi-Wedholm maps when E and F areHilbert spaces. Thus Theorem 2.2 not only just unifies the above known theorems but alsoreally generalizes them.

Conjugacy between piecewise monotonic functions and their iterative roots

It was proved that all continuous functions are topologically conjugate to their continuous iterative roots in monotonic cases. An interesting problem reads: Does the same conclusion hold in non-monotonic cases?We give a negative answer to the problem by presenting a necessary condition for the topological conjugacy,which helps us construct counter examples. We also give a sufficient condition as well as a method of constructing the topological conjugacy.

On the Normal Subgroup with Exactly Two G-Conjugacy Class Sizes

Let G be a finite group with a non-central Sylow r-subgroup R, Z（G） the center of G, and N a normal subgroup of G. The purpose of this paper is to determine the structure of N under the hypotheses that N contains R and the G-conjugacy class size of every element of N is either i or m. Particularly, it is shown that N is Abelian if N ∩ Z（G）=1 and the G-conjugacy class size of every element of N is either 1 or m.

Classification of C^1 Diffeomorphisms of the Real Line Under C^1 Conjugacy

This note will give some classification results for local and global C^1 diffeomorphisms of R under C^1 conjugacy. For γ=1, 2,…, ∞, ω, let D~γ(0)={f: R→R is C~γ; f’(x)】0, x∈R; and f has 0 asits unique fixed point} (local diffeomorphisms of R). In Refs. [1] and [2], we have considered the existence of smooth embedding flows and the other related problems for f∈D~γ(0). As a result, we prove that the following classifications have some numerical invariants

Curve selection Lemma for semianalytic sets and conjugacy classes of finite order in Lie groups

Using a strong version of the Curve Selection Lemma for real semianalytic sets, we prove that for an arbitrary connected Lie group G, each connected component of the set E_n(G)of all elements of order n in G is a conjugacy class in G. In particular, all conjugacy classes of finite order in G are closed. Some properties of connected components of E_n(G) are also given.

C^(0) conjugacy between PM functions with nonmonotonicity height equal to 1

In this paper,a topological classification of piecewise monotone functions(abbreviated as PM functions)with nonmonotonicity height equal to 1 which are strictly increasing on their characteristic intervals and have finitely many fixed points is presented.

Coprime action and arithmetical conditions on invariant conjugacy classes

Let A and G be finite groups and suppose that A acts coprimely on G via automorphisms. We show that if 4 divides no A-invariant conjugacy class size of G, then G is solvable. We also characterize the A-invariant structure of G under certain arithmetical conditions on the set of A-invariant class sizes of G by means of the fixed point subgroup, some of which imply the solvability of G. Thus, we extend, for coprime action, several results appeared in the literature on class sizes.

On a Graph Related to Subgroups Generated by a Conjugacy Class in Finite Groups

Let G be a group,and let →/ΓC(G) be a digraph whose vertices are the nontrivial conjugacy classes of G and there is an arc from a vertex C to a vertex C' if and only if C≠C' and(C)■(C').In this paper,we characterize finite groups G whose associated digraphs →/ΓC(G) are oriented trees.

An Arithmetical Condition on the Sizes of Conjugacy Classes of a Finite Group

An element x of a finite group G is said to be primary if the order of x is a prime power.We define csp2(G)as follows:if|x^(G)|is a prime power for every primary element x of G,where x^(G) is the conjugacy class of x in G,then csp2(G)=0;if there exists a primary element x in G such that|x^(G)|is divisible by at least two distinct primes,then csp2(G)=max{|x^(G)||x∈Gis primary,|x^(G)|is divisible by at least two distinct primes}.In this paper we discuss the influence of the number csp2(G)on the structure of G.

On Conjugacy Class Graph of Normal Subgroup

Let G be a finite group and N a normal subgroup of G.Denote by Γ_(G)(N)the graph whose vertices are all distinct G-conjugacy class sizes of non-central elements in N,and two vertices of Γ_(G)(N)are adjacent if and only if they are not coprime numbers.We prove that if the center Z(N)=Z(G)∩N and Γ_(G)(N)is k-regular for k≥1,then either a section of Nis a quasi-Frobenius group or Γ_(G)(N)is a complete graph with k+1 vertices.

An Adaptive Three-Term Conjugate Gradient Method with Sufficient Descent Condition and Conjugacy Condition

In this paper,an adaptive three-term conjugate gradient method is proposed for solving unconstrained problems,which generates sufficient descent directions at each iteration.Different from the existent methods,a dynamical adjustment between Hestenes–Stiefel and Dai–Liao conjugacy conditions in our proposed method is developed.Under mild condition,we show that the proposed method converges globally.Numerical experimentation with the new method indicates that it efficiently solves the test problems and therefore is promising.

Conjugacy Classes and Characters for Extensions of Finite Groups

Let H be an extension of a finite group Q by a finite group G. Inspired by the results of duality theorems for etale gerbes on orbifolds, the authors describe the number of conjugacy classes of H that map to the same conjugacy class of Q. Furthermore, a generalization of the orthogonality relation between characters of G is proved.

Authenticated Group Key Agreement Protocol Based on Twist Conjugacy Problem in Near-Rings

Nowadays some promising authenticated group key agreement protocols are constructed on braid groups, dynamic groups, pairings and bilinear pairings. Hence the non-abelian structure has attracted cryptographers to construct public-key cryptographic protocols. In this article, we propose a new authenticated group key agreement protocol which works in non-abelian near-rings. We have proved that our protocol meets the security attributes under the assumption that the twist conjugacy search problem（TCSP） is hard in near-ring.

On conjugacy class sizes of primary and biprimary elements of a finite group

Let m, n 〉 1 be two coprime integers. In this paper, we prove that a finite solvable group is nilpotent if the set of the conjugacy class sizes of its primary and biprimary elements is {1, rn, n, mn}.

A Result on Character Degrees and Conjugacy Class Sizes in Finite Groups

Let G be a finite group and π be a set of primes including at least two elements. We write cd（G） and cs（G） to denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees and conjugacy class sizes of G , respectively, and write π（m）to denote the set of all prime divisors of a positive integer m . For any 1≠m∈cd（G） and 1≠m∈cs（G）, in this note, we shall present the corresponding group structures of finite group G in the case π（m）=π , respectively, which generalizes the result of finite groups with character degrees of two distinct primes. Furthermore, we shall see that the influence of the two sets on the group structure is analogous.
