Finite groups with given non-nilpotent maximal subgroups of prime index

The subgroup structure of a finite group, under the assumption that its every non-nilpotent maximal subgroup has prime index, is studied in the paper.

Sylow towers in groups where the index of every non-nilpotent maximal subgroup is prime

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.

NILPOTENT AND LOCALLY FINITE MAXIMAL SUBGROUPS OF SKEW LINEAR GROUPS

Let D be a division ring and N be a subnormal subgroup of D*. In this paper we prove that if M is a nilpotent maximal subgroup of N, then M′ is abelian. If, furthermore every element of M is algebraic over Z(D) and M′ ⊈ F* or M/Z(M) or M′ is finitely generated, then M is abelian. The second main result of this paper concerns the subgroups of matrix groups; assume D is a noncommutative division ring, n is a natural number, N is a subnormal subgroup of GLn(D), and M is a maximal subgroup of N. We show that if M is locally finite over Z(D)*, then M is either absolutely irreducible or abelian.

An Extension of a Theorem of Janko on Finite Groups with Nilpotent Maximal Subgroups

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.

A solvability condition for finite groups with nilpotent maximal subgroups

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.

Finite groups with a nilpotent maximal subgroup

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.
