In this paper, we prove that if every non-nilpotent maximal subgroup of a finite group [Formula: see text] has prime index then [Formula: see text] has a Sylow tower.

Let G be a finite group with a nilpotent maximal subgroup S and let P denote the 2-Sylow subgroup of S. It is shown that if P ∩ Q is a normal subgroup of P for any 2-Sylow subgroup Q of G, then G is solvable.

Let G be a finite group all of whose proper subgroups are nilpotent. Then by a theorem of Schmidt-Iwasawa the group G is soluble. But what can we say about a finite group G is only one maximal subgroup is nilpotent? Let G be a finite group with a nilpotent maximal subgroup M.

Throughout this paper G will denote a finite group containing a nilpotent maximal subgroup S and P will denote the Sylow 2-subgroup of S. The largest subgroup of S normal in G will be designated by core (S) and the largest solvable normal subgroup of G by rad(G). All other notation is standard.Thompson [6] has shown that if P = 1 then G is solvable. Janko [3] then observed that G is solvable if P is abelian, a condition subsequently weakened by him [4] to the assumption that the class of P is ≦ 2 . Our purpose is to demonstrate the sufficiency of a still weaker assumption about P.

Let G be a finite group. A subgroup H of G is called a 2-maximal subgroup of G if there exists a maximal subgroup M of G such that H is a maximal subgroup of M. In this paper, we discuss the influence of π-quasinormality of 2-maximal subgroups of Sylow subgroups on the structure of a finite group, and obtain some sufficient conditions under which the finite group is p-nilpotent, supersolvable, or possesses an ordered Sylow tower.

AbstractLet 𝐺 be a finite group. An irreducible character of 𝐺 is called a 𝒫-character if it is an irreducible constituent of (1_{H})^{G} for some maximal subgroup 𝐻 of 𝐺. In this paper, we obtain some conditions for a solvable group 𝐺 to be 𝑝-nilpotent or 𝑝-closed in terms of 𝒫-characters.

If G is a finite group and P is a group-theoretic property, G will be called P-max-core if for every maximal subgroup M of G, M/MG has property P where MG = ∩ is the core of M in G. In a joint paper with John D. Dixon and A.H. Rhemtulla, we showed that if p is an odd prime and G is (p-nilpotent)-max-core, then G is p-solvable, and then using the techniques of the theory of solvable groups, we characterized nilpotent-max-core groups as finite nilpotent-by-nilpotent groups. The proof of the first result used John G. Thompson's p-nilpotency criterion and hence required p > 2. In this paper I show that supersolvable-max-core groups (and hence (2-nilpotent)-max-core groups) need not be 2-solvable (that is, solvable). Also I generalize the second result, among others, and characterize (p-nilpotent)-max-core groups (for p an odd prime) as finite nilpotent-by-(p-nilpotent) groups.

AbstractA subgroup H is called weakly -supplemented in a finite group G if there exists a subgroup B of G provided that (1) G = HB, and (2) if H1/HG is a maximal subgroup of H/HG, then H1B = BH1 < G, where HG is the largest normal subgroup of G contained in H. In this paper we will prove the following: Let G be a finite group and P be a Sylow p-subgroup of G, where p is the smallest prime divisor of |G|. Suppose that P has a non-trivial proper subgroup D such that all subgroups E of P with order |D| and 2|D| (if P is a non-abelian 2-group, |P : D| > 2 and there exists D1 ⊴ E ≤ P with 2|D1| = |D| and E/D1 is cyclic of order 4) have p-nilpotent supplement or weak -supplement in G, then G is p-nilpotent.

AbstractFor a finite group G, we denote by μ(G) the minimum degree of a faithful permutation representation of G. We prove that if G is a finite p-group with an abelian maximal subgroup, then μ(G/G′)≤μ(G).
