On <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-covering subgroup systems of finite groups

Let \(\mathcal{F}\) be a class of groups and G a finite group. We call a set Σ of subgroups of G a G-covering subgroup system for  \(\mathcal{F}\) if \(G\in \mathcal{F}\) whenever \(\Sigma \subseteq \mathcal{F}\). Let p be any prime dividing |G| and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Then we write Σ _p to denote the set of subgroups of G which contains at least one supplement to G of each maximal subgroup of P. We prove that the sets Σ _p and Σ _p ∪Σ _q , where q≠p, are G-covering subgroup systems for many classes of finite groups.
