Let $p$ be a prime number and $G=\operatorname{GL}_n ( \mathbb{Z} / p \mathbb{Z} )$ such that $n\leq p$. Consider the set $U$ of upper-triangular matrices of $G$ having entries of $1$ on the diagonal. ...

Suppose A is a 2-group with the following properties: $\lvert A \rvert = t^3$ with $t$ some even power of $2$; $A$ and $Z(A)$ (the center of $A$) are of exponent $4$; $\lvert Z(A) \rvert = t$ and $[A,...

This is a following-up question of this. Lemma 2.4 from Robert Griess' paper "Elementary abelian $p$-subgroups of algebraic groups" states: (i) Let $T$ be a finite $p$-group whose Frattini ...

Let $r$ be an odd prime and $q$ a power of a prime $p$ where $r\neq p$. If $r^m|n$ and $q\equiv1$ (mod $r$), then $r^{1+2m}.{\rm Sp}_{2m}(r)\le{\rm GL}_n(q)$ and $Center(r^{1+2m}.{\rm Sp}_{2m}(r))\le ...

The quasi-isolated elements of the algebraic group $G=\operatorname{PGL}_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ are classified in the paper "quasi-isolated elements in reductive groups" by C. Bonnafe. Let's focus ...
