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.
Let G be a finite group, p the smallest prime dividing the order of G, and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G with the smallest generator number d. Consider a set [Formula: see text] of maximal subgroups of P such that [Formula: see text]. It is shown that if every member [Formula: see text] of is either S-quasinormally embedded or C-normal in G, then G is p-nilpotent. As its applications, some further results are obtained.
AbstractLetGbe a finite group. In this paper we obtain some sufficient conditions for the supersolubility ofGwith two supersoluble non-conjugate subgroupsHandKof prime index, not necessarily distinct. It is established that the supersoluble residual of such a group coincides with the nilpotent residual of the derived subgroup. We prove thatGis supersoluble in the following cases: one of the subgroupsHorKis nilpotent; the derived subgroup{G^{\prime}}ofGis nilpotent;{|G:H|=q>r=|G:K|}andHis normal inG. Also the supersolubility ofGwith two non-conjugate maximal subgroupsMandVis obtained in the following cases: all Sylow subgroups ofMand ofVare seminormal inG; all maximal subgroups ofMand ofVare seminormal inG.
