For a finite group G, let k G denote the number of conjugacy classes of G. We prove that a simple group of Lie type of untwisted rank l over the field of q Ε½ . l elements has at most 6 q conjugacy classes. Using this estimate we show that for Ε½ . Ε½ . 10 n completely reducible subgroups G of GL n, q
Let Ξ½ G denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of a group G We prove that if G is a finite group and Ξ½ G = 0 then there is a cyclic subgroup C of prime power order contained in the centre of G such that the order of G/C is a product of at most Ξ½ G + 1 primes. We also obtain a
Let n be a positive integer, F a finite field of order q, and GL(n, F) the group of invertible n\_n matrices with entries in F. We will be concerned with the order of the conjugacy classes in GL(n, F). Expressions for these values have been computed by Green (with the aid of an unpublished manuscrip
The distribution of descents in a fixed conjugacy class of S n is studied and it is shown that its moments have a remarkable property. This is proven two ways: one via generating functions and the other via a combinatorial algorithm. This leads to an asymptotic normality theorem for the number of de
