The commutativity degree of a finite group is the probability that two randomly chosen group elements commute. In this paper we give a sharp upper bound of commutativity degree of nonabelial groups in terms of their order.

In this paper we generalize the Whitehead theorem which says that a homology equivalence implies a homotopy equivalence for nilpotent spaces. We make some theorems on a homotopy equivalence of non-nilpotent spaces, e.g., the solvable space or space satisfying the condition (T**) or space X with $\pi$1(X) Engel, or locally nilpotent space with some properties. Furthermore we find some conditions that the Wall invariant will be trivial.

Let G be a finite group and let ν(G) be the probability that two randomly selected elements of G produce a nilpotent group. In this article we show that for every positive integer n > 0, there is a finite group G such that ${\nu}(G)={\frac{1}{n}}$. We also classify all groups G with ${\nu}(G)={\frac{1}{2}}$. Further, we prove that if G is a solvable nonnilpotent group of even order, then ${\nu}(G){\leq}{\frac{p+3}{4p}}$, where p is the smallest odd prime divisor of |G|, and that equality exists if and only if $\frac{G}{Z_{\infty}(G)}$ is isomorphic to the dihedral group of order 2p where Z_∞(G) is the hypercenter of G. Finally we find an upper bound for ν(G) in terms of |G| where G ranges over all groups of odd square-free order.
