On element-centralizers in finite groups

Abstract: For any group G, let |Cent(G)| denote the number of centralizers of its elements. A group G is called n-centralizer if |Cent(G)| = n. In this paper, we find |Cent(G)| for all minimal simple groups. Using these results we prove that there exist finite simple groups G and H with the property that |Cent(G)| = |Cent(H)| but G ∼ = H. This result gives a negative answer to a question raised by A. Ashrafi and B. Taeri. We also characterize all finite semi-simple groups G with |Cent(G)| ≤ 73.

“…It is clear that a group is a C 1 -group if and only if it is abelian. The class of C ngroups was introduced by Belcastro and Sherman in [7] and investigated by many authors (see, for example, [1,3,4,13,14,16]).…”

“…A group is a -group if ( ) is abelian for every ∈ \ ( ). Many authors have studied the influence of |Cent( )| on finite group (see [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]). It is clear that a group is 1-centralizer if and only if it is abelian.…”
