Abstract We show that if w is a multilinear commutator word and G a finite group in which every metanilpotent subgroup generated by w-values is of rank at most r, then the rank of the verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is bounded in terms of r and w only. In the case where G is soluble, we obtain a better result: if G is a finite soluble group in which every nilpotent subgroup generated by w-values is of rank at most r, then the rank of $w(G)$ is at most $r+1$ .

AbstractLet $w$ be a multilinear commutator word. We prove that if $e$ is a positive integer and $G$ is a finite group in which any nilpotent subgroup generated by $w$-values has exponent dividing $e$, then the exponent of the corresponding verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is bounded in terms of $e$ and $w$only.

Abstract Let {m,n} be positive integers and w a multilinear commutator word. Assume that G is a finite group having subgroups {G_{1},\ldots,G_{m}} whose union contains all w-values in G. Assume further that all elements of the subgroups {G_{1},\ldots,G_{m}} are n-Engel in G. It is shown that the verbal subgroup {w(G)} is s-Engel for some {\{m,n,w\}} -bounded number s.

We prove here that the (saturated) formation generated by a finite soluble group has only finitely many (saturated) subformations. This answers a question asked by Professor W. Gaschütz. Some partial results are also given in the case of a formation generated by an arbitrary finite group.

Gagola and Lewis proved that a finite group [Formula: see text] is nilpotent if and only if [Formula: see text] divides [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] for all irreducible characters [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that a finite soluble group [Formula: see text] is nilpotent if and only if [Formula: see text] divides [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] for all irreducible monomial characters [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text].

Let m, n be positive integers, v a multilinear commutator word and w = vm. We prove that if G is a residually finite group in which all w-values are n-Engel, then the verbal subgroup w(G) is locally nilpotent. We also examine the question whether this is true in the case where G is locally graded rather than residually finite. We answer the question affirmatively in the case where m = 1. Moreover, we show that if u is a non-commutator word and G is a locally graded group in which all u-values are n-Engel, then the verbal subgroup u(G) is locally nilpotent.

Let G be a finite group. We let [Formula: see text] and σ (G) denote the number of maximal subgroups of G and the least positive integer n such that G is written as the union of n proper subgroups, respectively. In this paper, we determine the structure of G/ Φ (G) when G is a finite soluble group with [Formula: see text].

AbstractIn this paper we consider the groups G = G(α, n) defined by the presentations . We derive a formula for [G′: ″] and determine the order of G whenever n ≦ 7. We show that G is a finite soluble group if n is odd, but that G can be infinite when n is even, n ≧ 8. We also show that G(6, 10) is a finite insoluble group involving PSU(3, 4), and that the group H with presentation is a finite group of deficiency zero of order at least 114,967,210,176,000.

A cover for a finite group is a set of proper subgroups whose union is the whole group. For a finite group G, we denote by σ (G) the least positive integer n such that G has a cover of size n. This paper deals with the covers of a finite soluble group G having σ (G) elements of maximal subgroups.

We say that a finite group G has a large centraliser if G contains a non-central element x with |CG (x)| > |G|½. We prove that every finite soluble group has a large centraliser, confirming a conjecture of Bertram and Herzog.

Let $\mathfrak{F}$ be a class of finite groups and $G$ a finite group. Let ${\mathcal{L}}_{\mathfrak{F}}(G)$ be the set of all subgroups $A$ of $G$ with $A^{G}/A_{G}\in \mathfrak{F}$. A chief factor $H/K$ of $G$ is $\mathfrak{F}$-central in $G$ if $(H/K)\rtimes (G/C_{G}(H/K))\in \mathfrak{F}$. We study the structure of $G$ under the hypothesis that every chief factor of $G$ between $A_{G}$ and $A^{G}$ is $\mathfrak{F}$-central in $G$ for every subgroup $A\in {\mathcal{L}}_{\mathfrak{F}}(G)$. As an application, we prove that a finite soluble group $G$ is a PST-group if and only if $A^{G}/A_{G}\leq Z_{\infty }(G/A_{G})$ for every subgroup $A\in {\mathcal{L}}_{\mathfrak{N}}(G)$, where $\mathfrak{N}$ is the class of all nilpotent groups.
