A lower bound for the number of conjugacy classes of finite groups

Abstract

In 2000, L. H\'ethelyi and B. K\"ulshammer proved that if p is a prime number dividing the order of a finite solvable group G, then G has at least 2p-1 conjugacy classes. In this paper we show that if p is large, the result remains true for arbitrary finite groups.
