For a finite group $G$, we investigate the behaviour of four invariants, $\text{MaxDim}(G),$ $\text{MinDim}(G),$ $\text{MaxInt}(G)$ and $\text{MinInt}(G),$ measuring in some way the width and the height of the lattice $\mathcal M(G)$ consisting of the intersections of the maximal subgroups of $G.$
We investigate the influence of the intersection of the $\cal F$-maximal subgroups on the structure of a finite group. In particular, answering a question of L.A Shemetkov we give conditions under which a hereditary saturated formation $\cal F$ has a property that for any finite group $G$, the ${\cal F}$-hypercentre of $G$ coincides with the intersection of all $\cal F$-maximal subgroups of $G$.
Let $H$ be an open subgroup of a profinite group that can be expressed as intersection of maximal subgroups of $G.$ Given a positive real number $η,$ we say that $H$ is an $η$-intersection if there exists a family of maximal subgroups $M_1,\ldots,M_t$ such that $H=M_1\cap\ldots\cap M_t$ and $|G:M_1|\cdots|G:M_t|\le |G:H|^η$. We investigate the meaning of this property and its influence on the group structure.
Let $\cal F$ be a class of groups. A chief factor $H/K$ of a group $G$ is called \emph{${\cal F}$-central in $G$} provided $(H/K)\rtimes (G/C_{G}(H/K)) \in {\cal F}$. We write $Z_{π{\cal F}}(G)$ to denote the product of all normal subgroups of $G$ whose $G$-chief factors of order divisible by at least one prime in $π$ are $\cal F$-central. We call $Z_{π{\cal F}}(G)$ the $π{\cal F}$-hypercentre of $G$. A subgroup $U$ of a group $G$ is called \emph{$\cal F$-maximal} in $G$ provided that (a) $U\in {\cal F}$, and (b) if $U\leq V\leq G$ and $V\in {\cal F}$, then $U=V$. In this paper we study the pr…
Let $G$ be a finite group. A family $\mathcal{M}$ of maximal subgroups of $G$ is called `irredundant' if its intersection is not equal to the intersection of any proper subfamily. $\mathcal{M}$ is called `maximal irredundant' if $\mathcal{M}$ is irredundant and it is not properly contained in any other irredundant family. We denote by $\mbox{Mindim}(G)$ the minimal size of a maximal irredundant family of $G$. In this paper we compute $\mbox{Mindim}(G)$ when $G$ is the alternating group on $n$ letters.

We investigate the intersection of normalizers and $\mathfrak{F}$-subnormalizers of different types of systems of subgroups ($\mathfrak{F}$-maximal, Sylow, cyclic primary). We described all formations $\mathfrak{F}=\underset{i\in I}\times\mathfrak{F}_{π_i}$ for which the intersection of normalizers of all $\mathfrak{F}_i$-maximal subgroups of $G$ is the $\mathfrak{F}$-hypercenter of $G$ for every group $G$. Also we described all formations $\mathfrak{F}$ for which the intersection of $\mathfrak{F}$-subnormalizers of all Sylow (cyclic primary) subgroups of $G$ is the $\mathfrak{F}$-hypercenter …
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\mathcal{M}$ be a set of maximal subgroups of $G$. We say that $\mathcal{M}$ is irredundant if the intersection of the subgroups in $\mathcal{M}$ is not equal to the intersection of any proper subset. The minimal dimension of $G$, denoted ${\rm Mindim}(G)$, is the minimal size of a maximal irredundant set of maximal subgroups of $G$. This invariant was recently introduced by Garonzi and Lucchini and they computed the minimal dimension of the alternating groups. In this paper, we prove that ${\rm Mindim}(G) \leqslant 3$ for all finite simple groups, which is b…
We answer a question due to A. Myasnikov by proving that all expected ranks occur as the ranks of intersections of finitely generated subgroups of free groups.
Assume that a finite almost simple group with simple socle isomorphic to an exceptional group of Lie type possesses a solvable Hall subgroup. Then there exist four conjugates of the subgroup such that their intersection is trivial.
Let $G$ be a finite group and recall that the Frattini subgroup ${\rm Frat}(G)$ is the intersection of all the maximal subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we investigate the intersection number of $G$, denoted $α(G)$, which is the minimal number of maximal subgroups whose intersection coincides with ${\rm Frat}(G)$. In earlier work, we studied $α(G)$ in the special case where $G$ is simple and here we extend the analysis to almost simple groups. In particular, we prove that $α(G) \leqslant 4$ for every almost simple group $G$, which is best possible. We also establish new results on the intersect…
Let $G$ be a group. The intersection graph of subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\mathscr{I}(G)$, is a graph with all the proper subgroups of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices in $\mathscr{I}(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding subgroups having a non-trivial intersection in $G$. In this paper, we classify the finite groups whose intersection graph of subgroups are toroidal or projective-planar. In addition, we classify the finite groups whose intersection graph of subgroups are one of bipartite, complete bipartite, tree, star graph, unicyclic, acyclic, cycle, path or total…
The purpose of this paper is to consider when two maximal subalgebras of a finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebra $L$ are conjugate, and to investigate their intersection.
In this paper we show that if S is a simple classical group, a group G is contained in inner-diagonal automorphisms of S and contains S, and H is a solvable Hall subgroup of G, then there exists five conjugates of H, whose intersection is trivial.
The covering number of a nontrivial finite group $G$, denoted $σ(G)$, is the smallest number of proper subgroups of $G$ whose set-theoretic union equals $G$. In this article, we focus on a dual problem to that of covering numbers of groups, which involves maximal subgroups of finite groups. For a nontrivial finite group $G$, we define the intersection number of $G$, denoted $ι(G)$, to be the minimum number of maximal subgroups whose intersection equals the Frattini subgroup of $G$. We elucidate some basic properties of this invariant, and give an exact formula for $ι(G)$ when $G$ is a nontrivi…
The main result in this paper is the failure of the finitely generated intersection property (FGIP) of ascending HNN extensions of non-cyclic finite rank free groups. This class of group consists of free-by-cyclic groups and properly ascending HNN extensions of free groups. We also give a sufficient condition for the failure of the FGIP in the context of relative hyperbolicity, we apply this to free-by-cyclic groups of exponential growth.
Geometric methods proposed by Stallings for treating finitely generated subgroups of free groups were successfully used to solve a wide collection of decision problems for free groups and their subgroups. In the present paper we employ the generalized Stallings' methods, developed by the author, to solve various algorithmic problems concerning finitely generated subgroups of amalgams of finite groups.
In this paper we consider finite groups G satisfying the following condition: G has two columns in its character table which differ by exactly one entry. It turns out that such groups exist and they are exactly the finite groups with a non-trivial intersection of the kernels of all but one irreducible characters or, equivalently, finite groups with an irreducible character vanishing on all but two conjugacy classes. We investigate such groups and in particular we characterize their subclass, which properly contains all finite groups with non-linear characters of distinct degrees, which were ch…
The intersection graph of a group $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of $G$, and there is an edge between two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ if and only if $H\cap K \neq 1$ where $1$ denotes the trivial subgroup of $G$. In this paper we classify all finite groups whose intersection graphs are $K_{3,3}$-free.
We show that a finite collection of stable subgroups of a finitely generated group has finite height, finite width and bounded packing. We then use knowledge about intersections of conjugates to characterize finite families of quasimorphisms on hyperbolically embedded subgroups that can be to simultaneously extended to the ambient group.
The intersection graph of a group $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of $G$, and there is an edge between two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ if and only if $H\cap K \neq 1$ where $1$ denotes the trivial subgroup of $G$. In this paper, we classify finite solvable groups whose intersection graphs are not $2$-connected and finite nilpotent groups whose intersection graphs are not $3$-connected. Our methods are elementary.
