Suppose that a finite soluble group G is the product AB of subgroups A and B. Our question is the following: what conclusions can be made about G if A and B are suitably restricted? First we shall prove that the p–length of G is restricted by the derived lengths of the Sylow p–subgroups of A and B, if A and B are p–closed and p′-closed. Moreover, if in such a group the Sylow p–subgroups of A and B are modular, the p–length of G is at most 1. Next we obtain a general estimate for the derived length of the group G = AB of odd order in terms of the derived lengths of A and B. Furthermore it will be possible to bound the nilpotent length of G and also the p–length of G in terms of other invariants of special subgroups of G.

AbstractIn 1980, McCaughan and Stonehewer showed that a finite soluble group in which every subnormal subgroup has defect at most two has derived length at most nine and Fitting length at most five, and gave an example of derived length five and Fitting length four. In 1984 Casolo showed that derived length five and Fitting length four are best possible bounds.In this paper we show that for groups of odd order the bounds can be improved. A group of odd order with every subnormal subgroup of defect at most two has derived and Fitting length at most three, and these bounds are best possible.

For a soluble finite group [Formula: see text] and a prime [Formula: see text] we let [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. We obtain upper bounds for the rank, the nilpotent length, the derived length, and the [Formula: see text]-length of a finite soluble group [Formula: see text] in terms of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we study solvable groups in which [Formula: see text] is at most 2. In particular, we investigated groups of odd order and [Formula: see text]-free groups with this property. Exact estimations of the derived length and nilpotent length of such groups are obtained.

In this paper, we investigate a class of 2-generator 2-relator groups G(n) related to the Fibonacci groups F(2,n), each of the groups in this new class also being defined by a single parameter n, though here n can take negative, as well as positive, values. If n is odd, we show that G(n) is a finite soluble group of derived length 2 (if n is coprime to 3) or 3 (otherwise), and order |2n(n + 2)gnf(n, 3)|, where fn is the Fibonacci number defined by f0=0,f1=1,fn+2=fn+fn+1 and gn is the Lucas number defined by g0 = 2, g1 = 1, gn+2 = gn + gn+1 for n≧0. On the other hand, if n is even then, with three exceptions, namely the cases n = 2,4 or –4, G(n) is infinite; the groups G(2), G(4) and G(–4) have orders 16, 240 and 80 respectively.

In a finite soluble group G, the Fitting (or nilpotency) length h(G) can be considered as a measure for how strongly G deviates from being nilpotent. As another measure for this, the number v(G) of conjugacy classes of the maximal nilpotent subgroups of G may be taken. It is shown that there exists an integer-valued function f on the set of positive integers such that h(G) ≦ f(v(G)) for all finite (soluble) groups of odd order. Moreover, if all prime divisors of the order of G are greater than v(G)(v(G) - l)/2, then h(G) ≦3. The bound f(v(G)) is just of qualitative nature and by far not best possible. For v(G) = 2, h(G) = 3, some statements are made about the structure of G.

If the finite soluble group G admits the dihedral group of order eight as a fixed-point-free group of automorphisms then the nilpotent length of G is at most three.

AbstractThe c-dimension of a group is the maximum length of a chain of nested centralizers. It is proved that a periodic locally soluble group of finite c-dimension k is soluble of derived length bounded in terms of k, and the rank of its quotient by the Hirsch–Plotkin radical is bounded in terms of k. Corollary: a pseudo-(finite soluble) group of finite c-dimension k is soluble of derived length bounded in terms of k.

Mennicke (2) has given a class of three-generator, three-relation finite groups. In this paper we present a further class of three-generator, threerelation groups which we show are finite.The groups presented are defined as:with α|γ| ≠ 1, β|γ| ≠ 1, γ ≠ 0.We prove the following result.THEOREM 1. Each of the groups presented is a finite soluble group.We state the following theorem proved by Macdonald (1).THEOREM 2. G1(α, β, 1) is a finite nilpotent group.1. In this section we make some elementary remarks.

W. Gaschutz [5] introduced a conjugacy class of subgroups of a finite soluble group called the prefrattini subgroups. These subgroups have the property that they avoid the complemented chief factors of G and cover the rest. Subsequently, these results were generalized by Hawkes [12], Makan [14; 15] and Chambers [2]. Hawkes [12] and Makan [14] obtained conjugacy classes of subgroups which avoid certain complemented chief factors associated with a saturated formation or a Fischer class. Makan [15] and Chambers [2] showed that if W, D and V are the prefrattini subgroup, 𝔍-normalizer and a strongly pronormal subgroup associated with a Sylow basis S, then any two of W, D and V permute and the products and intersections of these subgroups have an explicit cover-avoidance property.
