Abstract

Let G be a finite group. A normal subgroup N of G is a union of several G-conjugacy classes, and it is called n-decomposable in G if it is a union of n distinct G-conjugacy classes. In this paper, we first classify finite non-perfect groups satisfying the condition that the numbers of conjugacy classes contained in its non-trivial normal subgroups are two consecutive positive integers, and we later prove that there is no non-perfect group such that the numbers of conjugacy classes contained in its non-trivial normal subgroups are 2, 3, 4 and 5.
