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].

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.

Subnormal Subgroups

The structure and embedding of subgroups permuting with the system normalizers of a finite soluble group are studied in the paper. It is also proved that the class of all finite soluble groups in which every subnormal subgroup permutes with the Sylow subgroups is properly contained in the class of all soluble groups whose subnormal subgroups permute with the system normalizers while this latter is properly contained in the class of all supersoluble groups.

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.

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.

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.

AbstractThe Wielandt subgroup of a group $G$, denoted by ${\it\omega}(G)$, is the intersection of the normalisers of all subnormal subgroups of $G$. The terms of the Wielandt series of $G$ are defined, inductively, by putting ${\it\omega}_{0}(G)=1$ and ${\it\omega}_{i+1}(G)/{\it\omega}_{i}(G)={\it\omega}(G/{\it\omega}_{i}(G))$. In this paper, we investigate the relations between the$p$-length of a $p$-soluble finite group and the Wielandt series of its Sylow $p$-subgroups. Some recent results are improved.

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.

AbstractGiven a lattice formation F of full characteristic, an F - Fitting class is a Fitting class with stronger closure properties involving F -subnormal subgroups. The main aim of this paper is to prove that the associated injectors possess a good behaviour with respect to F -subnormal subgroups.

Let G be a finite soluble group. In (1) Alperin proves that two system normalizers of G contained in the same Carter subgroup C of G are conjugate in C. In recent unpublished work G.A.Chambers of the University of Wisconsin has proved that, if is a saturated formation, the -normalizers of an A-group are pronormal subgruops; hence, in particular, that two -normalizers contained in an -projector E of an A-group are conjugate in E. In this note we describe an example which shows that in Alperin's theorem the class of nilpotent groups cannot in general be replaced by an arbitary saturated formation without some restriction on the class of soluble groups under consideration. we provePROPOSITION. There exists a saturated formationand a group G which has two-normalizers E1and E2contained in an-projector F of G such that E1and E2are not conjugate in F.
