A group G is called metamodular if for each subgroup H of G either the subgroup lattice 𝔏(H) is modular or H is a modular element of the lattice 𝔏(G). Metamodular groups appear as the natural lattice analogues of groups in which every non-abelian subgroup is normal; these latter groups have been studied by Romalis and Sesekin, and here their results are extended to metamodular groups.
A subgroup H of a group G is said to be quasinormal if HX = XH for all subgroups X of G. In this article groups are characterized for which the partially ordered set of quasinormal subgroups is decomposable.
Let F C 0 be the class of all finite groups, and for each nonnegative integer n define by induction the group class FC^(n+1) consisting of all groups G such that for every element x the factor group G/CG ( <x>^G ) has the property FC^n . Thus FC^1 -groups are precisely groups with finite conjugacy classes, and the class FC^n obviously contains all finite groups and all nilpotent groups with class at most n. In this paper the known theory of FC-groups is taken as a model, and it is shown that...
