Groups whose proper subgroups are Baer groups

In this paper we classify infinite soluble minimal non-nilpotent-groups, detemine the basic structure of infinite soluble minimal non-Baer-groups, and using famed Heineken-Mohamed-groups we construct an example of minimal non-Baer-group which is not minimal non-nilpotent-group.The author would like to thank Chen Zhangmu and Shi Wuje for narm help and useful advice.     

Groups whose all subgroups are ascendant or self-normalizing

This paper studies groups G whose all subgroups are either ascendant or self-normalizing. We characterize the structure of such G in case they are locally finite. If G is a hyperabelian group and has the property, we show that every subgroup of G is in fact ascendant provided G is locally nilpotent or non-periodic. We also restrict our study replacing ascendant subgroups by permutable subgroups, which of course are ascendant [Stonehewer S.E., Permutable subgroups of infinite groups, Math. Z., 1972, 125(1), 1–16].     

Groups with all subgroups permutable or of finite rank

In this paper we investigate the structure of X-groups in which every subgroup is permutable or of finite rank. We show that every subgroup of such a group is permutable.

Locally (soluble-by-finite) groups with all proper insoluble subgroups of finite rank

A group G has finite rank r if every finitely generated subgroup of G is at most r-generator. If C is a class of groups then we let C* denote the class of groups G in which every proper subgroup of G is either of finite rank or in C. We let denote the class of soluble groups and the class of soluble groups of derived length at most d, where d is a positive integer. We let λ denote the set of closure operations and let denote the λ-closure of the class of periodic locally graded groups. Amongst other results we prove that a soluble -group is either of finite rank or of derived length at most d and also that a group in the class is either locally soluble, or has finite rank, or is isomorphic to one of or for suitable locally finite fields . The second author would like to thank the Department of Mathematics at Bucknell University for its hospitality while part of this work was being done.     

Groups whose primary subgroups are normal sensitive

A subgroup \(H\) of a group \(G\) is said to be normal sensitive in \(G\) if for every normal subgroup \(N\) of \(H, N=H\cap N^{G}\) . In this paper we study locally finite groups whose \(p\) -subgroups are normal sensitive. We show the connection between these groups and groups in which Sylow permutability is transitive.     

Groups whose proper factors are all abelian

The question implied in the title is a problem of A. Zaks, namely, which finite groups (other than abelian and simple groups) have all their proper factors abelian? This paper answers the question in the case of groups with non-trivial centre, or, equivalently, in the case ofp-groups, and gives a structure theorem for such groups.     

Finite p-groups all of whose non-abelian proper subgroups are metacyclic

In this paper, we classify the finite p-groups all of whose non-abelian proper subgroups are metacyclic and answer a question posed by Berkovich. Received: 22 June 2005
