contents 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 $p$.
