摘要

In this paper, we consider covers of finite groups by centralizers of elements. We show that the set of centralizers that are maximal under the partial ordering form a cover of the group. We also show that the set of centralizers that are minimal under the partial ordering form a cover of the group. We show for F-groups that are nonabelian p-groups that the number of distinct nontrivial centralizers is congruent to 1 modulo p.
