There are two families of group classes that are of particular interest for clearing up the structure of finite soluble groups: Saturated formations and Fitting classes. In both cases there is a unique conjugacy class of subgroups which are maximal as members of the respective class combined with the property of being suitably mapped by homomorphisms (in the case of saturated formations) or intersecting suitably with normal subgroups (when considering Fitting classes). While it does not seem too difficult, however, to determine the smallest saturated formation containing a given group, the same problem regarding Fitting classes does not seem answered for the dihedral group of order 6. The object of this paper is to determine the smallest Fitting class containing one of the groups described explicitly later on; all of them are qp-groups with cyclic commutator quotient group and only one minimal normal subgroup which in addition coincides with the centre. Unlike the results of McCann [7], which give a determination “up to metanilpotent groups”, the description is complete in this case. Another family of Fitting classes generated by a metanilpotent group was considered and described completely by Hawkes (see [5, Theorem 5.5 p. 476]); it was shown later by Brison [1, Proposition 8.7, Corollary 8.8], that these classes are in fact generated by one finite group. The Fitting classes considered here are not contained in the Fitting class of all nilpotent groups but every proper Fitting subclass is. They have the following additional properties: all minimal normal subgroups are contained in the centre (this follows in fact from Gaschiitz [4, Theorem 10, p. 64]) and the nilpotent residual is nilpotent of class two (answering the open question on p. 482 of Hawkes [5]), while the quotient group modulo the Fitting subgroup may be nilpotent of any class. In particular no one of these classes consists of supersoluble groups only.

AbstractA Fitting class of finite soluble groups is one closed under the formation of normal subgroups and products of normal subgroups. It is shown that the Fitting classes of metanilpotent groups which are quotient group closed as well are primitive saturated formuations.

Abstract Let 𝐺 be a finite group, and let 𝔉 be a hereditary saturated formation. We denote by Z F ⁢ ( G ) \mathbf{Z}_{\mathfrak{F}}(G) the product of all normal subgroups 𝑁 of 𝐺 such that every chief factor H / K H/K of 𝐺 below 𝑁 is 𝔉-central in 𝐺, that is, ( H / K ) ⋊ ( G / C G ⁢ ( H / K ) ) ∈ F (H/K)\rtimes(G/\mathbf{C}_{G}(H/K))\in\mathfrak{F} . A subgroup A ⩽ G A\leqslant G is said to be 𝔉-subnormal in the sense of Kegel, or 𝐾-𝔉-subnormal in 𝐺, if there is a subgroup chain A = A 0 ⩽ A 1 ⩽ ⋯ ⩽ A n = G A=A_{0}\leqslant A_{1}\leqslant\cdots\leqslant A_{n}=G such that either A i - 1 ⁢ ⊴ ⁢ A i A_{i-1}\trianglelefteq A_{i} or A i / ( A i - 1 ) A i ∈ F A_{i}/(A_{i-1})_{A_{i}}\in\mathfrak{F} for all i = 1 , … , n i=1,\ldots,n . In this paper, we prove the following generalization of Schenkman’s theorem on the centraliser of the nilpotent residual of a subnormal subgroup: Let 𝔉 be a hereditary saturated formation containing all nilpotent groups, and let 𝑆 be a 𝐾-𝔉-subnormal subgroup of 𝐺. If Z F ⁢ ( E ) = 1 \mathbf{Z}_{\mathfrak{F}}(E)=1 for every subgroup 𝐸 of 𝐺 such that S ⩽ E S\leqslant E , then C G ⁢ ( D ) ⩽ D \mathbf{C}_{G}(D)\leqslant D , where D = S F D=S^{\mathfrak{F}} is the 𝔉-residual of 𝑆.

Subnormal Subgroups

A class of groups that is closed with respect to subnormal subgroups and normal products is called a Fitting class. Given a finite soluble group G, one may ask for the Fitting class (G) generated by G, that is the intersection of all Fitting classes containing G. For simple or nilpotent groups G it is easy to compute (G), but in other cases the determination of (G) seems to be surprisingly difficult, and there is no general method of solving this problem. In recent years there has been a lot of work in this area, see for instance Bryce and Cossey[l], [2], Hawkes[6] (or [5], IX. 9. Var. II), Heineken[7] and McCann[10].

The authors together with M. J. Karbe [Ill. J. Math. 33 (1989) 333–359] have considered Fitting classes of -groups and, under some rather strong restrictions, obtained an existence and conjugacy theorem for -injectors. Results of Menegazzo and Newell show that these restrictions are, in fact, necessary.The Fitting class is normal if, for each is the unique -injector of G. is abelian normal if, for each. For finite soluble groups these two concepts coincide but the class of Černikov-by-nilpotent -groups is an example of a nonabelian normal Fitting class of -groups. In all known examples in which -injectors exist is closely associated with some normal Fitting class (the Černikov-by-nilpotent groups arise from studying the locally nilpotent injectors).Here we investigate normal Fitting classes further, paying particular attention to the distinctions between abelian and nonabelian normal Fitting classes. Products and intersections with (abelian) normal Fitting classes lead to further examples of Fitting classes satisfying the conditions of the existence and conjugacy theorem.

AbstractWe consider (finite) groups in which every two-generator subgroup has cyclic commutator subgroup. Among other things, these groups are metabelian modulo their hypercentres, and in the corresponding quotient group all subgroups of the commutator subgroup are normal.

Fitting Classes

Fitting classes of finite solvable groups were first considered by Fischer, who with Gäschutz and Hartley (1967) showed in that in each finite solvable group there is a unique conjugacy class of “-injectors”, for a Fitting class. In general the behaviour of Fitting classes and injectors seems somewhat mysterious and hard to determine. This is in contrast to the situation for saturated formations and -projectors of finite solvable groups which, because of the equivalence saturated formations and locally defined formations, can be studied in a much more detailed way. However for those Fitting classes that are “locally defined” the theory of -injectors can be made more explicit by considering various centralizers involving the local definition of , giving results analogous to some of those concerning locally defined formations. Particular attention will be given to the subgroup B() defined by where the set {(p)} of Fitting classes locally defines , and the Sp are the Sylow p-subgroups associated with a given Sylow system − B() plays a role very much like that of Graddon's -reducer in Graddon (1971). An -injector of B() is an -injector of G, and for certain simple B() is an -injector of G.

General Method

AbstractIn a previous paper, the authors have shown that Eilenberg's variety theorem can be extended to more general structures, called formations. In this paper, we give a general method to describe the languages corresponding to saturated formations of groups, which are widely studied in group theory. We recover in this way a number of known results about the languages corresponding to the classes of nilpotent groups, soluble groups and supersoluble groups. Our method also applies to new examples, like the class of groups having a Sylow tower.

Formation Of Groups

Hawkes showed in [10] that classes of metanilpotent groups which are both formations and Fitting classes are saturated and subgroup closed; more, he characterized all such classes as those local formations with a local definition consisting of saturated formations (of nilpotent groups). In [3] we showed that those “Fitting formations” which are subgroup closed are also saturated, without restriction on nilpotent length; indeed such classes are, roughly speaking, recursively definable as local formations using a local definition consisting of such classes. It is natural to ask how these hypotheses may be weakened yet still produce the same classes of groups. Already in [10] Hawkes showed that Fitting formations need be neither subgroup closed nor saturated; and in [3] we showed that a saturated Fitting formation need not be subgroup closed (though a Fitting formation of groups of nilpotent length three is saturated if and only if it is subgroup closed).

It is shown that in the Fitting class of all finite p-by-q groups, where p and q are different primes, there is among the sub-direct product closed sub-Fitting classes a unique maximal one: it consists of the groups whose minimal normal subgroups are central.
