It is a well known theorem of Gaschütz (4) and Schenkman (12) that if G is a finite group whose nilpotent residual A is Abelian, then G splits over A and the complements to A in G are conjugate. Following Robinson (10) we describe this situation by saying that G splits conjugately over A. A number of generalizations of this result have since been obtained, some of them being in the context of the formation theory of finite or locally finite groups (see, for example, (1), (3)) and others, for example, the recent and far-reaching results of Robinson (10, 11) being concerned with groups which are not necessarily periodic. Our results here are of the latter type.

Groups with the weak maximal condition on non-abelian subgroups are the main subject of this research. Locally finite groups with this property are abelian or Chemikov. Non-abelian groups with the weak maximal condition on non-abelian subgroups, which have an ascending series of normal subgroups with locally nilpotent or locally finite factors, are described in this article.

We shall be working throughout this paper in the class of locally finite groups introduced in (3) and further discussed in (5) and (6), and all groups appearing will be assumed to belong to this class. By definition, is the largest subgroupclosed class of locally finite groups satisfying the conditions:U1. If G ε then G has a finite serieswith locally nilpotent factors.

In this paper, will always denote a local class of locally finite groups, which is closed with respect to subgroups, homomorphic images, extensions, and with respect to cartesian powers of finite -groups. Examples for x are the classes L ℐπ of all locally finite π-groups and L(ℐπ ∩ ) of all locally soluble π-groups (where π is a fixed set of primes). In [4], a wreath product construction was used in the study of existentially closed -groups (=e.c. -groups); the restrictive type of construction available in [4] permitted results for only countable groups. This drawback was then removed partially in [5] with the help of permutational products. Nevertheless, the techniques essentially only permitted amalgamation of -groups with locally nilpotent π-groups. Thus, satisfactory results could be obtained for Lp-groups (resp. locally nilpotent π-groups) [6], while the theory remained incomplete in all other cases.

This chapter discusses several classical as well as new examples of theories of presheaf type from the perspective of the theory developed in the previous chapters. The known examples of theories of presheaf type that are revisited in the course of the chapter include the theory of intervals (classified by the topos of simplicial sets), the theory of linear orders, the theory of Diers fields, the theory of abstract circles (classified by the topos of cyclic sets) and the geometric theory of finite sets. The new examples include the theory of algebraic (or separable) extensions of a given field, the theory of locally finite groups, the theory of vector spaces with linear independence predicates and the theory of lattice-ordered abelian groups with strong unit.
