Abstract:
Let G be a finite group. For every element x∈G, the set {xg=g−1xg:g∈G} is called the conjugacy class of x in G and is denoted by xG. The conjugacy class size of x in G is denoted by |xG| and is equal to |G:CG(x)|. An element y of G is said to be primary or biprimary if the order of y is divisible by exactly one or two distinct primes. For a positive integer n and a prime p, if e>0 is an integer such that pe divides n and pe+1 does not divide n, then pe is called the p-part of n. Let p be a prime divisor of p such that (p−1,|G|)=1. We prove that G is solvable and p-nilpotent if the conjugacy sizes of all noncentral primary and biprimary elements in G have the same p-part. On the other hand, suppose that N is a normal subgroup of G; we write csG(N)={|xG|:x∈N}. Suppose that csG(N)={1,n1,n2,…,nt}, where 1<n1<n2<⋯<nt. Denote by MN(G)=⟨xG:x∈N,xG=1 or n1⟩ a subgroup of G. We prove that if CG(F(G))⩽F(G) and [x,F(G)] is a normal subset of F(G) for every x∈N with |xG|=1 or n1, then MN(G) is a nilpotent group with nilpotency class at most 2.
