Saturated formations and products of connected subgroups

Abstract For a non-empty class of groups C , two subgroups A and B of a group G are said to be C -connected if 〈 a , b 〉 ∈ C for all a ∈ A and b ∈ B . Given two sets π and ρ of primes, S π S ρ denotes the class of all finite soluble groups that are extensions of a normal π-subgroup by a ρ-group. It is shown that in a finite group G = A B , with A and B soluble subgroups, then A and B are S π S ρ -connected if and only if O ρ ( B ) centralizes A O π ( G ) / O π ( G ) , O ρ ( A ) centralizes B O π ( G ) / O π ( G ) and G ∈ S π ∪ ρ . Moreover, if in this situation A and B are in S π S ρ , then G is in S π S ρ . This result is then extended to a large family of saturated formations F , the so-c…

Nilpotent-like fitting formations of finite soluble groups

[EN] In this paper the subnormal subgroup closed saturated formations of finite soluble groups containing nilpotent groups are fully characterised by means of extensions of well-known properties enjoyed by the formation of all nilpotent groups.

A Question of R. Maier Concerning Formations

The formation f is said to be saturated if the group G belongs to f Ž . whenever the Frattini factor group GrF G is in f. Let P be the set of all prime numbers. A formation function is a Ž . function f defined on P such that f p is a, possibly empty, formation. A formation f is said to be a local formation if there exists a formation Ž function f such that f s G g G : if HrK is a chief factor of G and p < < Ž . Ž .. divides HrK , then GrC HrK g f p ; G is the class of all finite G groups. If f is a local formation defined by a formation function f , then Ž . we denote f s LF f and f is a local definition of f. Among all possible local definitions of a local formation f there exists exactly …

Pronormal subgroups of a direct product of groups

[EN] We give criteria to characterize abnormal, pronormal and locally pronormal subgroups of a direct product of two finite groups A×B, under hypotheses of solvability for at least one of the factors, either A or B.

Nilpotent length and system permutability

Abstract If C is a class of groups, a C -injector of a finite group G is a subgroup V of G with the property that V ∩ K is a C -maximal subgroup of K for all subnormal subgroups K of G. The classical result of B. Fischer, W. Gaschutz and B. Hartley states the existence and conjugacy of F -injectors in finite soluble groups for Fitting classes F . We shall show that for groups of nilpotent length at most 4, F -injectors permute with the members of a Sylow basis in the group. We shall exhibit the construction of a Fitting class and a group of nilpotent length 5, which fail to satisfy the result and show that the bound is the best possible.

On mutually permutable products of finite groups

Abstract In this paper a structural theorem about mutually permutable products of finite groups is obtained. This result is used to derive some results on mutually permutable products of groups whose chief factors are simple. Some earlier results on mutually permutable products of supersoluble groups appear as particular cases.

Characterizations of Schunck Classes of Finite Soluble Groups

All groups considered in this paper are finite and soluble.Characterization of Schunck classes and saturated formations by meansof certain embedding properties of their associated projectors plays animportant part in the Theory of Classes of Groups.Schunck classes whose projectors are normal subgroups were studied byBlessenohl and Gaschutz. They characterize these classes as the classes

Injectors and Radicals in Products of Totally Permutable Groups

Abstract Two subgroups H and K of a group G are said to be totally permutable if every subgroup of H permutes with every subgroup of K. In this paper the behaviour of radicals and injectors associated to Fitting classes in a product of pairwise totally permutable finite groups is studied.

Products of pairwise totally permutable groups

On the product of a π-group and a π-decomposable group

[EN] The main result in the paper states the following: Let π be a set of odd primes. Let the finite group G=AB be the product of a π -decomposable subgroup A=Oπ(A)×Oπ′(A) and a π -subgroup B . Then Oπ(A)⩽Oπ(G); equivalently the group G possesses Hall π -subgroups. In this case Oπ(A)B is a Hall π-subgroup of G. This result extends previous results of Berkovich (1966), Rowley (1977), Arad and Chillag (1981) and Kazarin (1980) where stronger hypotheses on the factors A and B of the group G were being considered. The results under consideration in the paper provide in particular criteria for the existence of non-trivial soluble normal subgroups for a factorized group G.

A self-centralizing characteristic subgroup

AbstractIn this note we introduce a self-centralizing characteristic subgroup, associated with quasinilpotent injectors, of a finite group.

Permutability of injectors with a central socle in a finite solvable group

In response to an Open Question of Doerk and Hawkes [5, IX Section 3, page 615], we shall show that if Zπ is the Fitting class formed by the finite solvable groups whose π-socle is central (where π is a set of prime numbers), then the Zπ-injectors of a finite solvable group G permute with the members of a Sylow basis in G. The proof depends on the properties of certain extraspecial groups [4].

On finite products of groups and supersolubility

Two subgroups X and Y of a group G are said to be conditionally permutable in G if X permutes with Y(g) for some element g E G. i.e., XY(g) is a subgroup of G. Using this permutability property new criteria for the product of finite supersoluble groups to be supersoluble are obtained and previous results are recovered. Also the behaviour of the supersoluble residual in products of finite groups is studied.

Finite groups which are products of pairwise totally permutable subgroups

Finite groups which are products of pairwise totally permutable subgroups are studied in this paper. The -residual, -projectors and -normalizers in such groups are obtained from the corresponding subgroups of the factor subgroups under suitable hypotheses.

On conditional permutability and saturated formations

Two subgroups A and B of a group G are said to be totally completely conditionally permutable (tcc-permutable) in G if X permutes with Yg for some g ¿ ¿X, Y¿ for all X ¿ A and Y ¿ B. We study the belonging of a finite product of tcc-permutable subgroups to a saturated formation of soluble groups containing all finite supersoluble groups. © 2011 Edinburgh Mathematical Society.

A family of dominant Fitting classes of finite soluble groups

[EN] In this paper a large family of dominant Fitting classes of finite soluble groups and the description of the corresponding injectors are obtained. Classical constructions of nilpotent and Lockett injectors as well as p-nilpotent injectors arise as particular cases.

Fitting classes and lattice formations I

AbstractA lattice formation is a class of groups whose elements are the direct product of Hall subgroups corresponding to pairwise disjoint sets of primes. In this paper Fitting classes with stronger closure properties involving F-subnormal subgroups, for a lattice formation F of full characteristic, are studied. For a subgroup-closed saturated formation G, a characterisation of the G-projectors of finite soluble groups is also obtained. It is inspired by the characterisation of the Carter subgroups as the N-projectors, N being the class of nilpotent groups.

A reduction theorem for a conjecture on products of two π -decomposable groups

[EN] For a set of primes pi, a group X is said to be pi-decomposable if X = X-pi x X-pi' is the direct product of a pi-subgroup X-pi and a pi'-subgroup X-pi', where pi' is the complementary of pi in the set of all prime numbers. The main result of this paper is a reduction theorem for the following conjecture: "Let pi be a set of odd primes. If the finite group G = AB is a product of two pi-decomposable subgroups A = A(pi) x A(pi') and B = B-pi x B-pi', then A(pi)B(pi) = B(pi)A(pi) and this is a Hall pi-subgroup of G." We establish that a minimal counterexample to this conjecture is an almost simple group. The conjecture is then achieved in a forthcoming paper. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All ri…

On finite products of totally permutable groups

In this paper the structure of finite groups which are the product of two totally permutable subgroups is studied. In fact we can obtain the -residual, where is a formation, -projectors and -normalisers, where is a saturated formation, of the group from the corresponding subgroups of the factor subgroups.

2-Engel relations between subgroups

Abstract In this paper we study groups G generated by two subgroups A and B such that 〈 a , b 〉 is nilpotent of class at most 2 for all a ∈ A and b ∈ B . A detailed description of the structure of such groups is obtained, generalizing the classical result of Hopkins and Levi on 2-Engel groups.

OnF-Subnormal Subgroups andF-Residuals of Finite Soluble Groups

All groups that we consider are finite and soluble. Recall that a formation is a class of groups which is closed under homomorphic images and subdirect products. Hence, if F is a formation and G is a group which is a direct product of the subgroups A and B, then G is in F if and only if A and B lie in F. More generally, Doerk and w x Hawkes 4, IV, 1.18 proved that if G is a group such that G s A = B, then G s A = B , where G is the F-residual of G, that is, the smallest normal subgroup of G with quotient in F. The main purpose of this paper is the development of this result by means of the concept of F-subnormal subgroup. Suppose that F is a saturated formation. A maximal subgroup M of a Ž …

SATURATED FORMATIONS CLOSED UNDER SYLOW NORMALIZERS

In this article we show that a finite soluble group possesses nilpotent Hall subgroups for well-defined sets of primes if and only if its Sylow normalizers satisfy the same property. In fact, this property of groups provides a characterization of the subgroup-closed saturated formations, whose elements are characterized by the Sylow normalizers belonging to the class, in the universe of all finite soluble groups.

FINITE TRIFACTORISED GROUPS AND -DECOMPOSABILITY

We derive some structural properties of a trifactorised finite group $G=AB=AC=BC$, where $A$, $B$, and $C$ are subgroups of $G$, provided that $A=A_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}}\times A_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{\prime }}$ and $B=B_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}}\times B_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{\prime }}$ are $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$-decomposable groups, for a set of primes $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$.

Two Questions of L. A. Shemetkov on Critical Groups

Throughout the paper we consider only finite groups. Let X be a class of groups. A group G is called s-critical for X , or simply X-critical, if G is not in X but all proper subgroups of G are in X. w Ž .x Ž . Following Doerk and Hawkes 3, VII, 6.1 , we denote Crit X the class s of all X-critical groups. Knowledge of the structure of the groups in Ž .

Permutability in finite soluble groups

Let G be a finite soluble group and let Σ be a Hall system of G. A subgroup U of G is said to be Σ-permutable if U permutes with every member of Σ. In [1; I, 4·29] it is proved that if U and V are Σ-permutable subgroups of G then so also are U ∩ V and 〈U, V〉.

Injectors with a central socle in a finite solvable group

Abstract In response to an Open Question of Doerk and Hawkes (1992) [2, IX §4, p. 628] , we shall describe three constructions for the Z π -injectors of a finite solvable group, where Z π is the Fitting class formed by the finite solvable groups whose π -socle is central (and π is a set of prime numbers).

Injectors with a normal complement in a finite solvable group

Abstract Suppose G is a finite solvable group, and H is a subgroup with a normal complement in G. We shall find necessary and sufficient conditions (some of which are related to the properties of coprime actions) for H to be an injector in G. We shall also use these criteria to find characterizations of injectors which need not have a normal complement.
