A subgroup H of a group G is nearly normal if it has finite index in its normal closure . A relevant theorem of B. H. Neumann states that groups in which every subgroup is nearly normal are precisely those with finite commutator subgroup. We shall say that a subgroup H of a group G is nearly modular if H has finite index in a modular element of the lattice of subgroups of G. Thus nearly modular subgroups are the natural lattice-theoretic translation of nearly normal subgroups. In this...
