Pronormal subgroups of a direct product of groups

2009

[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.

Products of groups and group classes

1994

Letχ be a Schunck class, and let the finite groupG=AB=BC=AC be the product of two nilpotent subgroupsA andB andχ-subgroupC. If for every common prime divisorp of the orders ofA andB the cyclic group of orderp is anχ-group, thenG is anχ-group. This generalizes earlier results of O. Kegel and F. Peterson. Some related results for groups of the formG=AB=AK=BK, whereK is a nilpotent normal subgroup ofG andA andB areχ-groups for some saturated formationχ, are also proved.

On generalised subnormal subgroups of finite groups

2013

Let be a formation of finite groups. A subgroup M of a finite group G is said to be -normal in G if belongs to . A subgroup U of a finite group G is called a K--subnormal subgroup of G if either U = G or there exist subgroups U = U0 ≤ U1 ≤ … ≤ Un = G such that Ui − 1 is either normal or -normal in Ui, for i = 1, 2, …, n. The K--subnormality could be regarded as the natural extension of the subnormality to formation theory and plays an important role in the structural study of finite groups. The main purpose of this paper is to analyse classes of finite groups whose K--subnormal subgroups are exactly the subnormal ones. Some interesting extensions of well-known classes of groups emerge.

Characters and Blocks of Finite Groups

1998

This is a clear, accessible and up-to-date exposition of modular representation theory of finite groups from a character-theoretic viewpoint. After a short review of the necessary background material, the early chapters introduce Brauer characters and blocks and develop their basic properties. The next three chapters study and prove Brauer's first, second and third main theorems in turn. These results are then applied to prove a major application of finite groups, the Glauberman Z*-theorem. Later chapters examine Brauer characters in more detail. The relationship between blocks and normal subgroups is also explored and the modular characters and blocks in p-solvable groups are discussed. Fi…

A class of generalised finite T-groups

2011

Let F be a formation (of finite groups) containing all nilpotent groups such that any normal subgroup of any T-group in F and any subgroup of any soluble T-group in F belongs to F. A subgroup M of a finite group G is said to be F-normal in G if G/CoreG(M) belongs to F. Named after Kegel, a subgroup U of a finite group G is called a K- F-subnormal subgroup of G if either U=G or U=U0?U1???Un=G such that Ui?1 is either normal in Ui or Ui1 is F-normal in Ui, for i=1,2,...,n. We call a finite group G a TF-group if every K- F-subnormal subgroup of G is normal in G. When F is the class of all finite nilpotent groups, the TF-groups are precisely the T-groups. The aim of this paper is to analyse the…

On generalized covering subgroups and a characterisation of ?pronormal?

1983

Introduction. The context of this note is the theory of Schunck classes and formations of finite soluble groups. In a 1972 manuscript Fischer [4] generalized the concept of an ~-covering subgroup of a group G to a (P, ~)-covering subgroup, where P is some pronormal subgroup of G, and proved universal existence (for P satisfying a stronger embedding property) in case the class ~ is a saturated formation. The fact tha t the Schunck classes are the classes ~ with the property that every group has an ~-projector [9, 4.3, 4.4; 6] (which coincides with an ~-covering subgroup in the soluble universe | [6, II.15]) raises the question whether it is possible to determine the whole range of universal …

On partial CAP-subgroups of finite groups

2015

Abstract Given a chief factor H / K of a finite group G, we say that a subgroup A of G avoids H / K if H ∩ A = K ∩ A ; if H A = K A , then we say that A covers H / K . If A either covers or avoids the chief factors of some given chief series of G, we say that A is a partial CAP-subgroup of G. Assume that G has a Sylow p-subgroup of order exceeding p k . If every subgroup of order p k , where k ≥ 1 , and every subgroup of order 4 (when p k = 2 and the Sylow 2-subgroups are non-abelian) are partial CAP-subgroups of G, then G is p-soluble of p-length at most 1.

A Question of R. Maier Concerning Formations

1996

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 …

On prefrattini residuals

1998

All groups considered in the sequel are finite. Let (ℭ and denote the formations of groups which consist of collections of groups that respectively either split over each normal subgroup (nC-groups) or for which the groups do not possess nontrivial Frattini chief factors [8]. The purpose of this article is to develop and expand a concept that arises naturally with the residuals for these formations, namely each G-chief factor is non-complemented (Frattini). With respect to a solid set X of maximal subgroups, these properties are generalized respectively to so-called X-parafrattini (X-profrattini) normal subgroups for which each type is closed relative to products. The relationships among th…
