Abstract

top
We study the generation of finite groups by nilpotent subgroups and in particular we investigate the structure of groups which cannot be generated by n nilpotent subgroups and such that every proper quotient can be generated by n nilpotent subgroups. We obtain some results about the structure of these groups and a lower bound for their orders.
