General concepts and strategies are developed for identifying the isomorphism type of the second -class group , that is the Galois group of the second Hilbert -class field , of a number field , for a prime . The isomorphism type determines the position of on one of the coclass graphs , , in the sense of Eick, Leedham-Green, and Newman. It is shown that, for special types of the base field and of its -class group , the position of is restricted to certain admissible branches of coclass...
Let be a group and a prime. The subgroup generated by the elements of order different from is called the Hughes subgroup for exponent . Hughes [3] made the following conjecture: if is non-trivial, its index in is at most . There are many articles that treat this problem. In the present Note we examine those of Strauss and Szekeres [9], which treats the case and arbitrary, and that of Hogan and Kappe [2] concerning the case when is metabelian, and arbitrary. A common proof is...
A subgroup of a finite group is weakly-supplemented in if there exists a proper subgroup of such that . In the paper it is proved that a finite group is -nilpotent provided is the smallest prime number dividing the order of and every minimal subgroup of is weakly-supplemented in where is a Sylow -subgroup of . As applications, some interesting results with weakly-supplemented minimal subgroups of are obtained.
In this paper we study the set of Fitting classes which are right extensible by soluble groups ordered by the inclusion relation. The consideration of the associated lattices gives rise to new Fitting classes and it allows to obtain some injectivity criteria for general Fitting classes.
