Review text

The authors classify all finite groups satisfying three different conditions with regard to their conjugacy classes and subgroups. These classifications are the following. Let \(G\) be a finite group, then: (a) Each non-trivial conjugacy class of \(G\) together with the identity element, 1, is a subgroup of \(G\) if and only if \(G\) is an elementary Abelian \(2\)-group; (b) The union of any two distinct non-trivial conjugacy classes of \(G\) together with 1 is a subgroup of \(G\) if and only if \(G\) is isomorphic to \(C_3\) or \(S_3\); (c) The union of any three distinct non-trivial conjugacy classes of \(G\) together with 1 is a subgroup of \(G\) if and only if \(G\) is isomorphic to \(C_4\), \(C_2\times C_2\), \(D_5\) or \(A_4\). The proofs are elementary and are divided into two cases: the Abelian and the non-Abelian cases.
