Nilpotent length and system permutability

2022

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.

Nilpotent-like fitting formations of finite soluble groups

2000

[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.

Generalised norms in finite soluble groups

2014

Abstract We give a framework for a number of generalisations of Baerʼs norm that have appeared recently. For a class C of finite nilpotent groups we define the C -norm κ C ( G ) of a finite group G to be the intersection of the normalisers of the subgroups of G that are not in C . We show that those groups for which the C -norm is not hypercentral have a very restricted structure. The non-nilpotent groups G for which G = κ C ( G ) have been classified for some classes. We give a classification for nilpotent classes closed under subgroups, quotients and direct products of groups of coprime order and show the known classifications can be deduced from our classification.

A submatrix of the character table

2000

Let G be a finite group and let p be a prime number. We consider the Submatrix of the character table of G whose rows are indexed by the characters in blocks of maximal defect, and whose columns are indexed by the conjugacy classes of P′-size. We prove that this matrix has maximum rank.

Extension of a Schur theorem to groups with a central factor with a bounded section rank

2013

Abstract A well-known result reported by Schur states that the derived subgroup of a group is finite provided its central factor is finite. Here we show that if the p-section rank of the central factor of a locally generalized radical group is bounded, then so is the p-section rank of its derived subgroup. We also give an explicit expression for this bound.

On the identities of the Grassmann algebras in characteristicp>0

2001

In this note we exhibit bases of the polynomial identities satisfied by the Grassmann algebras over a field of positive characteristic. This allows us to answer the following question of Kemer: Does the infinite dimensional Grassmann algebra with 1, over an infinite fieldK of characteristic 3, satisfy all identities of the algebraM 2(K) of all 2×2 matrices overK? We give a negative answer to this question. Further, we show that certain finite dimensional Grassmann algebras do give a positive answer to Kemer's question. All this allows us to obtain some information about the identities satisfied by the algebraM 2(K) over an infinite fieldK of positive odd characteristic, and to conjecture ba…

Permutable products of supersoluble groups

2004

We investigate the structure of finite groups that are the mutually permutable product of two supersoluble groups. We show that the supersoluble residual is nilpotent and the Fitting quotient group is metabelian. These results are consequences of our main theorem, which states that such a product is supersoluble when the intersection of the two factors is core-free in the group.

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 the Deskins index complex of a maximal subgroup of a finite group

1999

AbstractLet M be a maximal subgroup of a finite group G. A subgroup C of G is said to be a completion of M in G if C is not contained in M while every proper subgroup of C which is normal in G is contained in M. The set, I(M), of all completions of M is called the index complex of M in G. Set P(M) = {C ϵ I(M) ¦ C} is maximal in I(M) and G = CM. The purpose of this note is to prove: A finite group G is solvable if and only if, for each maximal subgroup M of G, P(M) contains element C with CK(C) nilpotent.
