Abstract
Let G be a finite group. We denote by ν(G) the probability that two randomly chosen elements of G generate a nilpotent subgroup. In this paper, we characterize the structure of finite groups G with lower bounds \({1 \over p}, \, {{p^{2}+8} \over {9p^{2}}}\) and \({p+3} \over {4p}\) on ν(G), where p is a prime divisor of ∣G∣.
期刊介绍:
Acta Mathematica Sinica, established by the Chinese Mathematical Society in 1936, is the first and the best mathematical journal in China. In 1985, Acta Mathematica Sinica is divided into English Series and Chinese Series. The English Series is a monthly journal, publishing significant research papers from all branches of pure and applied mathematics. It provides authoritative reviews of current developments in mathematical research. Contributions are invited from researchers from all over the world.
