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.

Subnormal Subgroups

For each m≥1, u_{m}(G) is defined to be the intersection of the normalizers of all the subnormal subgroups of defect at most m in G. An ascending chain of subgroups u_{m,i}(G) is defined by setting u_{m,i}(G)/u_{m,i−1}(G)=u_{m}(G/u_{m,i−1}(G)). If u_{m,n}(G)=G, for some integer n, the m-Wielandt length of G is the minimal of such n.In [3], Bryce examined the structure of a finite soluble group with given m-Wielandt length, in terms of its polynilpotent structure. In this paper we extend his results to infinite soluble groups.1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 20E15, 20F22.

One To One

Let G = H0 > H1 > … > Hr = 1 and G = K0 > K1 > … > Kr =1 be two chief series of the finite soluble group G. Suppose Mi complements Hi/Hi+1. Then Mi also complements precisely one factor Kj/Kj+1, of the second series, and this Kj/Kj+1 is G-isomorphic to Hi/Hi+1. It is shown that complements Mi can be chosen for the complemented factors Hi/Hi+1 of the first series in such a way that distinct Mi complement distinct factors of the second series, thus establishing a one-to-one correspondence between the complemented factors of the two series. It is also shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the factors of the two series (but not in general constructible in the above manner), such that corresponding factors are G-isomorphic and have the same number of complements.

Let G be a finite soluble group with Fitting subgroup F(G). The Fitting series of G is defined, as usual, by F0(G) = 1 and Fi(G)/Fi−1(G) = F(G/Fi−1(G)) for i ≥ 1, and the Fitting height h = h(G) of G is the least integer such that Fn(G) = G. Suppose now that a finite soluble group A acts on G. Let k be the composition length of A, that is, the number of prime divisors (counting multiplicities) of |A|. There is a certain amount of evidence in favour of theCONJECTURE. |G:Fk(G)| is bounded by a number depending only on |A| and |CG(A)|.

SynopsisLet G be a group and let A be a fixed point free group of automorphisms of G. It is shown that the centraliser near-ring MA(G) has at most one nontrivial ideal. Conditions on the pair (A, G) are given which force MA(G) to be simple. It is shown that if a nonsimple near-ring MA(G) exists, then A and G have unusual properties.

In [1], Bachmuth and Mochizuki conjecture, by analogy with a celebrated result of Tits on linear groups [8], that a finitely generated group of automorphisms of a finitely generated soluble group either contains a soluble subgroup of finite index (which may of course be taken to be normal) or contains a non-abelian free subgroup. They point out that their conjecture holds for nilpotent-by-abelian groups and in some other cases.

General Method

AbstractWe give a general method for constructing subgroups which either cover or avoid each chief factor of the finite soluble group G. A strongly pronorrnal subgroup V, a prefrattini subgroup W, an -normalizer D and intersections and products of V, W, and D axe all constructable. The constructable subgroups can be characterized by their cover-avoidance property and a permutability condition as in the results of J. D. Gillam [4] for prefrattini subgroups and -normalizers.

Finite Case

The Carter subgroups of a finite soluble group may be characterised either as theself-normalising nilpotent subgroups or as the nilpotent projectors. Subgroups with properties analogous to both of these have been considered by Newell (2, 3) in the class of -groups. The results obtained are necessarily less satisfactory than in the finite case, the subgroups either being almost self-normalising (i.e. having finite index in their normaliser) or having an almost-covering property. Also the subgroups are not necessarily conjugate but lie in finitely many conjugacy classes.

Positive Integers

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.
