In a recent paper of the first author and I. M. Isaacs it was shown that if m = m(G) is the maximal order of an abelian subgroup of the finite group G, then |G| divides m! ([AI18, Thm. 5.2]). The purpose of this brief note is to improve on the m! bound (see Theorem 2.1 below). We shall then take up the task of determining when the (implicit) inequality of our theorem becomes an equality. Despite, perhaps, first appearances this determination is not trivial. To accomplish it we shall establish a result (Theorem 2.3) of independent interest and we shall then see that Theorems 2.1 and 2.3 combine to further strengthen Theorem 2.1 (see Theorem 3.4).
When studying subgroups of $Out(F_n)$, one often replaces a given subgroup $H$ with one of its finite index subgroups $H_0$ so that virtual properties of $H$ become actual properties of $H_0$. In many cases, the finite index subgroup is $H_0 = H cap
In 1933 B.~H.~Neumann constructed uncountably many subgroups of ${rm SL}_2(mathbb Z)$ which act regularly on the primitive elements of $mathbb Z^2$. As pointed out by Magnus, their images in the modular group ${rm PSL}_2(mathbb Z)cong C_3*C_2$ are ma
Let $mathfrak{X}$ be a class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, homomorphic images and extensions. It is known that if $A$ is a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$ then the image of an $mathfrak{X}$-maximal subgroup $H$ of $G$ in $G/A$
In this paper, we study a group in which every 2-maximal subgroup is a Hall subgroup.
Motivated in part by representation theoretic questions, we prove that if G is a finite quasi-simple group, then there exists an elementary abelian subgroup of G that intersects every conjugacy class of involutions of G.
