description

[EN] It is shown in this paper that if X is a class of simple groups such that pi(X) = char X, the X-saturated formation H generated by a finite group cannot be expressed as the Gaschütz product F o G of two non-X-saturated formations if H = G. It answers some open questions on products of formations. The relation between omega-saturated and X-saturated formations is also discussed.
