Let $p$ be a fixed prime. For a finite group generated by elements of order $p$, the $p$-width is defined to be the minimal $kinmathbb{N}$ such that any group element can be written as a product of at most $k$ elements of order $p$. Let $A_{n}$ denote the alternating group of even permutations on $n$ letters. We show that the $p$-width of $A_{n}$ $(ngeq p)$ is at most $3$. This result is sharp, as there are families of alternating groups with $p$-width precisely 3, for each prime $p$.

In this paper we measure how efficiently a finite simple group $G$ is generated by its elements of order $p$, where $p$ is a fixed prime. This measure, known as the $p$-width of $G$, is the minimal $kin mathbb{N}$ such that any $gin G$ can be written as a product of at most $k$ elements of order $p$. Using primarily character theoretic methods, we sharply bound the $p$-width of some low rank families of Lie type groups, as well as the simple alternating and sporadic groups.
For a finite group generated by involutions, the involution width is defined to be the minimal $kinmathbb{N}$ such that any group element can be written as a product of at most $k$ involutions. We show that the involution width of every non-abelian finite simple group is at most $4$. This result is sharp, as there are families with involution width precisely 4.
We show that the largest character degree of an alternating group $A_n$ with $ngeq 5$ can be bounded in terms of smaller degrees in the sense that [ b(A_n)^2<sum_{psiintextrm{Irr}(A_n),,psi(1)< b(A_n)}psi(1)^2, ] where $textrm{Irr}(A_n)$ and $b(A_n)$ respectively denote the set of irreducible complex characters of $A_n$ and the largest degree of a character in $textrm{Irr}(A_n)$. This confirms a prediction of I. M. Isaacs for the alternating groups and answers a question of M. Larsen, G. Malle, and P. H. Tiep.
In this paper, we generalize the Shirshovs Composition Lemma by replacing the monomial order for others. By using Groebner-Shirshov bases, the normal forms of HNN extension of a group and the alternating group are obtained.
Given a group $G$ and a subgroup $H$, we let $mathcal{O}_G(H)$ denote the lattice of subgroups of $G$ containing $H$. This paper provides a classification of the subgroups $H$ of $G$ such that $mathcal{O}_{G}(H)$ is Boolean of rank at least $3$, when $G$ is a finite alternating or symmetric group.
