Synopsis

In this paper we obtain new results which relate the number of conjugacy classes of л-elements of a finite group and an arbitrary subgroup, which are analogous to some results about normal subgroups. We also prove some new results which show the relationship between class numbers and splitting theorems. Our proofs only involve elementary techniques.
