On Local Formations of Finite Groups
On Local Formations of Finite Groups by Lam Chak Ming A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Mathematics ⑥The Chinese University of Hong Kong September 2001 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate School. |( I 3 APR M 1 fejTUNIVERSITY /My/ 'HUBRARY SYSTEMy^/ 摘要 在代數範疇中,群論是一個歷史悠久的分支,而有限可解群在有 限群理論中更佔有顯著的地位。在過去數十年,有限可解群的理論, 在多位數學家的努力下獲得許多重要的成果。例如,E. Zelmanov, 他用上許多可解群的技巧來處理著名的Restricted Burnside Problem,並因此在1994年獲得菲爾茲獎。隨著可解群理論的成 熟,個別的群類如Fitting類、Schunk類,群系等亦得以發展。 在 1963 年,W.Gaschiitz 發表了 一篇文章名為 “Zur Theorie der endlichen aufbsbamn Gruppen”奠定了群系理論的基礎。隨後, H.Neumann, L.A. Shemetkov, A. Skiba等人亦運用了群系的技巧去 解決群論的問題。這對群系理論的發展有相當的貢獻。除此之外, 群系理論亦間接地影響無窮群、李代數的分類等發展。群系理論的方 法及其技巧,最近亦應用到一般代數方面。 在本論文中,我們會先介紹群系的基礎知識;另外,一些基本的 概念如上根,f超中心,^r-覆蓋子群及f正規化子等亦會討論。 在論文的後半部份,我們將討論局部群系及其應用。我們會利用 群系函數去構造群糸。基本的局部群糸的性質亦會討論。我們亦會應 用局部群系的技巧去研究Schmidt群的結構。例如,我們會證明某個 Schmidt群的Frattini子群相等於那個Schmidt群的超中心;以及一 個Schmidt群的N-上根的Frattini子群是那個N-上根的子群。最 後,我們將利用這些曾探討過的技巧來推廣有關P-冪零群的伊籐定 理(lto,s Theorem)。這是一個新的結果。 On Local Formations of Finite Groups 1 Abstract The theory of groups is one of the main branches in algebra with a long history and finite soluble groups form a remarkable subclass of the class of finite groups. In the past decade, many authors obtained significant results of soluble groups. For example, Efim Zelmanov has used some results in soluble groups to solve the famous Restricted Burnside Problem. Along with soluble groups, certain classes of finite groups, like Fitting class, Schunk class and formation, were also developed. The theory of formation was first introduced by "Zur Theorie der endlichen auflosbaren Gruppen" in 1963. -

An updated survey on the theory of groups with all subgroups subnormal, in- cluding a general introduction on locally nilpotent groups, full proofs of most results, and a review of the possible generalizations of the theory. Keywords: Subnormal subgroups, locally nilpotent groups. MSC 2000 classification: 20E15, 20F19 1 Locally nilpotent groups In this chapter we review part of the basic theory of locally nilpotent groups. This will mainly serve to fix the notations and recall some definitions, together with some important results whose proofs will not be included in these notes. Also, we hope to provide some motivation for the study of groups with all subgroups subnormal (for short N1-groups) by setting them into a wider frame. In fact, we will perhaps include more material then what strictly needed to understand N1-groups. Thus, the first sections of this chapter may be intended both as an unfaithful list of prerequisites and a quick reference: as such, most of the readers might well skip them. As said, we will not give those proofs that are too complicate or, conversely, may be found in any introductory text on groups which includes some infinite groups (e.g. -
On the Abnormal Structure of Finite Groups 3 2
Rev. Mat. Iberoam., 1–13 c European Mathematical Society On the abnormal structure of finite groups Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches, John Cossey and Ram´on Esteban-Romero Abstract. We study finite groups in which every maximal subgroup is supersoluble or normal. Our results answer some questions arising from papers of Asaad and Rose. 1. Introduction and statement of results In this paper we will consider only finite groups. A classical result of Schmidt [17] shows that if every maximal subgroup of a group is nilpotent, then the group is soluble. Rose [16] considered the effects of replacing “maximal” by “non-normal maximal” in Schmidt’s result, and proved: Theorem 1. If every non-normal maximal subgroup of a group G is nilpotent, then G has a normal Sylow subgroup P such that G/P is nilpotent. It is clear that the hypothesis in the above theorem holds in every epimorphic image of G. Hence using induction on the order of G, the solubility of the group is a consequence of the following result proved by Baer in [4]: Theorem 2. Let G be a primitive group such that every core-free maximal subgroup is nilpotent. Then G is soluble. Among the published extensions of Schmidt’s result, one due to Huppert is of particular interest. He proved: Theorem 3 ([11, Satz 22]). If every maximal subgroup of a group G is supersoluble, then G is soluble. Rose [16] observed that imposing supersolubility only on non-normal maximal subgroups is not sufficient to guarantee solubility. He shows that in PGL2(7), every maximal subgroup except PSL2(7) is supersoluble. -
ENGEL ELEMENTS in GROUPS 2 Positive Integer N, a Group Is Called N-Engel If All of Whose Elements Are Left N-Engel Elements
ENGEL ELEMENTS IN GROUPS ALIREZA ABDOLLAHIDepartment of Mathematics, University of Isfahan, Isfahan 81746-73441, IRAN. Email: [email protected] Abstract We give a survey of results on the structure of right and left Engel elements of a group. We also present some new results in this topic. 1 Introduction Let G be any group and x,y ∈ G. Define inductively the n-Engel left normed commutator [x,n y] = [x,y,...,y] n of the pair (x,y) for a given non-negative integer| {z }n, as follows: −1 −1 −1 y [x,0 y] := x, [x,1 y] := [x,y]= x y xy =: x x , and for all n> 0 [x,n y] = [[x,n−1 y],y]. An element a ∈ G is called left Engel whenever for every element g ∈ G there exists a non-negative integer n = n(g, a) possibly depending on the elements g and a such that [g,n a] = 1. For a positive integer k, an element a ∈ G is called a left k-Engel element of G whenever [g,k a] = 1 for all g ∈ G. An element a ∈ G is called arXiv:1002.0309v1 [math.GR] 1 Feb 2010 a bounded left Engel element if it is left k-Engel for some k. We denote by L(G), Lk(G) and L(G), the set of left Engel elements, left k-Engel elements, bounded left Engel elements of G, respectively. In definitions of various types of left Engel elements a of a group G, we observe that the variable element g appears on the left hand side of the element a. -

This concept has been introduced by Ore [54] and the condition HK = KH is equivalent to the requirement that the set HK is a subgroup. As a consequence, if H is a permutable subgroup of a group G, then for any subgroup K, hH, Ki is just the set of all elements hk, where h is in H and k is in K. With an easy argument based on set equality, it can be proved that if H is permutable, then HK \ L = (H \ L)K for any subgroups K and L such that K ≤ L. This property is known as Dedekind identity (or modular law) and note that, since K \ L = K, the equality HK \ L = (H \ L)(K \ L) is a form of associative law. -

In Collaboration with A. Ballester-Bolinches and R. Esteban
ABSTRACTS FACTORIZATIONS OF ONE-GENERATED FORMATIONS Clara Calvo (in collaboration with A. Ballester-Bolinches and R. Esteban-Romero) The concept of X-local formation, where X is a class of simple groups with a completeness property, generalises the notions of local and Baer-local for- mation. It was introduced by P. F¨orsterwith the purpose of presenting a common extension of the Gasch¨utz-Lubeseder-Schmid and Baer theorems. Since the intersection of a family of X-local formations is again an X-local formation, there exists the smallest X-local formation containing a group G, that is, the X-local formation generated by G. Skiba posed in the Kourovka Notebook a question about Baer-local formations generated by a group. A more general version of this question is answered by using X-local forma- tions. A complete description of the factorizations of the form F ◦ G of one-generated X-local formations is also given. ON THE PROBABILITY OF MUTUALLY COMMUTING n-TUPLES IN COMPACT GROUPS Ahmad Erfanian Let G be a finite group. Then an ordered n-tuple (x1, x2, . , xn) of elements in G with the property that xixj = xjxi for all 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n is called mutually commuting n-tuple. Now, let PrnCom(G) denotes the probability that a randomly chosen ordered n-tuple of elements in G be a mutually commuting n-tuple. We aim to generalize the above concept to a compact topological group which generally not only finite but also even uncountable. We give some evaluations of PrnCom(G) for non-abelian compact group G when G/Z(G) is p-elementary abelian. -

The Complexity of Ascendant Sequences in Locally Nilpotent Groups
THE COMPLEXITY OF ASCENDANT SEQUENCES IN LOCALLY NILPOTENT GROUPS CHRIS J. CONIDIS AND RICHARD A. SHORE Abstract. We analyze the complexity of ascendant sequences in locally nilpotent groups, showing that if G is a computable locally nilpotent group and x0; x1; : : : ; xN 2 G, N N, then one can always …nd a uniformly computably enumerable (i.e. uni- 2 0 formly 1) ascendant sequence of order type ! + 1 of subgroups in G beginning with x0; x1; : : : ; xN G, the subgroup generated by x0; x1; : : : ; xN in G. This complexity is surprisinglyh lowi in light of the fact that the usual de…nition of ascendant sequence involves arbitrarily large ordinals that index sequences of subgroups de…ned via a trans- …nite recursion in which each step is incomputable. We produce this surprisingly low complexity seqeunce via the e¤ective algebraic commutator collection process of P. Hall, and a related purely algebraic Normal Form Theorem of M. Hall for nilpotent groups. 1. Introduction 1.1. Computable Algebra. Computable algebra goes back at least to the work of Kronecker in the 1880s [Kro82]. He showed that every ideal in a computable presentation of Z[X0;X1;:::;XN ], N N, is computable. Later on, van der Waerden [vdW] showed that there is no universal2 algorithm for factoring polynomials over all computable …elds. After the development of modern computability theory by Alan Turing in the 1930s, computable ring and …eld theory was …rst given a more formal treatment by Fröhlich and Shepherdson in [FS56], where they showed that there is a computable …eld with no computable splitting algorithm. -
On a Class of Finite Soluble Groups
J. Group Theory 21 (2018), 839–846 DOI 10.1515/jgth-2018-0015 © de Gruyter 2018 On a class of finite soluble groups Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches, John Cossey and Yangming Li Communicated by Alexander Olshanskii Abstract. The aim of this paper is to study the class of finite groups in which every subgroup is self-normalising in its subnormal closure. It is proved that this class is a sub- group-closed formation of finite soluble groups which is not closed under taking Frattini extensions and whose members can be characterised by means of their Carter subgroups. This leads to new characterisations of finite soluble T-, PT- and PST-groups. Finite groups whose p-subgroups, p a prime, are self-normalising in their subnormal closure are also characterised. 1 Introduction All groups considered in this paper will be finite. It has long been known that permutable and subnormal subgroups play an important role in the structural study of the groups, and in recent years there has been a considerable interest in the phenomenon of subgroup permutability. Recall that a subgroup H is said to be permutable in a group G if HK KH for all D subgroups K of G, and Sylow permutable or S-permutable if HP PH for all D Sylow subgroups P of G. According to a known result of Kegel, S-permutable subgroups are always subnormal ([1, Theorem 1.2.14]), and the intersection of S-permutable (respectively, subnormal) subgroups of a group G is again S-per- mutable (respectively, subnormal) in G (see [1, Theorem 1.2.19] and [3, Corol- lary A.14.2]). -
The F-Depth of an F-Projector
Pacific Journal of Mathematics THE Ᏺ-DEPTH OF AN Ᏺ-PROJECTOR H. J. SCHMIDT Vol. 46, No. 2 December 1973 PACIFIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Vol. 46, No. 2, 1973 THE g-DEPTH OF AN ^-PROJECTOR1 H. J. SCHMIDT, JR. Let % be a saturated formation and let G be a finite solvable group with ^-projector JP. In a fundamental work, Carter and Hawkes have shown that for suitably restricted % there is a chain of j^crucial maximal subgroups of G termi- nating with F. It is shown here that the number of links in such a chain is an ^-invariant of G, called the gf-depth of F in G and written d%(F, G). If 4(G) is the g-length of G then, provided § is normal subgroup-closed, the inequality S%(G) ^ 2 d%(F, G) + 1 is ob- tained. If F is also nilpotent of nilpotency class c(F), then it is proved that 4(G) ^ d%(F, G) + c(F). If % and ξ> are two such suitable saturated formations with § = &> comparisons of the invariants d%(F, G) and d$(H, G) are made, where F and H are respectively the $- and £>-pro- jectors of the the finite solvable group G. In particular, if H ^ F then dd(F, G) ^ d$(H, G), and if in addition d9(F, G) = d^H, G) then H = F. I* Introduction* In this paper all groups considered are finite and solvable. Throughout we let % be a saturated formation which is locally induced by a class of nonempty, integrated formations %(p), one for each prime p.
