Large normal nilpotent subgroups of finite groups.
The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of BG-injectors of finite groups and invoke this notion to determine the B-injectors of Sₙ and Aₙ and to prove that they are conjugate. This paper provides a new, more straightforward and constructive proof of a result of Bialostocki which determines the B-injectors of the symmetric and alternating groups.
If ℱ is a class of groups, then a minimal non-ℱ-group (a dual minimal non-ℱ-group resp.) is a group which is not in ℱ but any of its proper subgroups (factor groups resp.) is in ℱ. In many problems of classification of groups it is sometimes useful to know structure properties of classes of minimal non-ℱ-groups and dual minimal non-ℱ-groups. In fact, the literature on group theory contains many results directed to classify some of the most remarkable among the aforesaid classes. In particular, V....
We classify the finite soluble groups satisfying the following condition: if H is a subgroup of G and H is not nilpotent, then the Fitting subgroup of H is the centralizer in H of its derived subgroup H'.
