Small Index

In finite groups maximal subgroups play a very important role. Results in the literature show that if the maximal subgroup has a very small index in the whole group then it influences the structure of the group itself. In this paper we study the case when the index of the maximal subgroups of the groups have a special type of relation with the Fitting subgroup of the group.

A Finite Group

In this paper finite groups with the property M, that every maximal subgroup has prime or prime square index, are investigated. A short but ingenious argument was given by P. Hall which showed that such groups are solvable.B. Huppert showed that a finite group with the property M, that every maximal subgroup has prime index, is supersolvable, i.e. the chief factors are of prime order. We prove here, as a corollary of a more precise result, that if G has property M and is of odd order, then the chief factors of G are of prime or prime square order. The even-order case is different. For every odd prime p and positive integer m we shall construct a group of order 2apb with property M which has a chief factor of order larger than m.

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 the unique maximal normal subgroups that result from these products, the solid set of maximal subgroups X, X-prefrattini subgroups, and the residuals of formations are explored. This leads to a well-defined collected of formations, the partially nonsaturated formations, with properties analogous to those which are totally non-saturated. In the development, attention is given to a set of maximal subgroups which is the image of a solid function defined on all groups, a weaker condition than that of a solid set. A result of particular interest answers affirmatively the long-standing conjecture that a non-trivial nC-group G is solvable if and only if each G-chief factor is complemented by a maximal subgroup. This will force a critical re-examination of the classification problem for nC-groups. Since the article continues the investigations on finite groups initiated in [2], a familiarity with that article is assumed. All other notation and terminology is from [6]. If M is a maximal subgroup of a group G and G/C or e G(M) is a monolithic primitive group, i.e. a group with a unique minimal normal subgroup, then M is called a monolithic maximal subgroupof G.

Theoretical Results

For a positive integer n, we denote by π(n) the set of all prime divisors of n. For a finite group G, the set [Formula: see text] is called the prime spectrum of G. Let [Formula: see text] mean that M is a maximal subgroup of G. We put [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this notice, using well-known number-theoretical results, we present a number of examples to show that both K(G) and k(G) are unbounded in general. This implies that the problem “Are k(G) and K(G) bounded by some constant k?”, raised by Monakhov and Skiba in 2016, is solved in the negative.

A Finite Group

For a finite group $G$ , let $d(G)$ denote the minimal number of elements required to generate $G$ . In this paper, we prove sharp upper bounds on $d(H)$ whenever $H$ is a maximal subgroup of a finite almost simple group. In particular, we show that $d(H)\leqslant 5$ and that $d(H)\geqslant 4$ if and only if $H$ occurs in a known list. This improves a result of Burness, Liebeck and Shalev. The method involves the theory of crowns in finite groups.

A Finite Group

Let ℨ be a complete set of Sylow subgroups of a finite group G, that is, for each prime p dividing the order of G, ℨ contains exactly one and only one Sylow p-subgroup of G. A subgroup H of G is said to be ℨ-permutable of G if H permutes with every member of ℨ. A subgroup H of G is said to be a weakly ℨ-permutable subgroup of G if there exists a subnormal subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K ≤ Hℨ, where Hℨ is the subgroup of H generated by all those subgroups of H which are ℨ-permutable subgroups of G. In this paper, we prove that if p is the smallest prime dividing the order of G and the maximal subgroups of Gp ∈ ℨ are weakly ℨ-permutable subgroups of G, then G is p-nilpotent. Moreover, we prove that if 𝔉 is a saturated formation containing the class of all supersolvable groups, then G ∈ 𝔉 iff there is a solvable normal subgroup H in G such that G/H ∈ 𝔉 and the maximal subgroups of the Sylow subgroups of the Fitting subgroup F(H) are weakly ℨ-permutable subgroups of G. These two results generalize and unify several results in the literature.

We study finite groups with given indices of 2-maximal subgroups. Suppose that every 2-maximal subgroup [Formula: see text] of a group [Formula: see text] has the property: if [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] divides the square of a prime. Then [Formula: see text] is solvable.

Nilpotent Maximal Subgroup

Throughout this paper G will denote a finite group containing a nilpotent maximal subgroup S and P will denote the Sylow 2-subgroup of S. The largest subgroup of S normal in G will be designated by core (S) and the largest solvable normal subgroup of G by rad(G). All other notation is standard.Thompson [6] has shown that if P = 1 then G is solvable. Janko [3] then observed that G is solvable if P is abelian, a condition subsequently weakened by him [4] to the assumption that the class of P is ≦ 2 . Our purpose is to demonstrate the sufficiency of a still weaker assumption about P.
