On conjugacy classes in groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let G be a group. Write G∗=Gsetminus1. An element x of G∗ will be called deficient if langlexangle<CG(x) and it will be called non-deficient if langlexangle=CG(x). If xinG is deficient (non-deficient), then the conjugacy class xG of x in G will be also called deficient (non-deficient). Let j be a non-negative integer. We shall say that the group G has defect j, denoted by GinD(j) or by the phrase "G is a D(j)-group", if exactly j non-trivial conjugacy classes of G are deficient. We first determine all finite D(0)-groups and D(1)-groups. Then we deal with arbitrary D(0)-groups and D(1)-groups: we find properties of arbitrary D(0)-groups and D(1)-groups, which force these groups to be finite.
