Finite groups with trivial Frattini subgroup

All groups considered are finite. A group has a trivial Frattini subgroup if and only if every nontrivial normal subgroup has a proper supplement.The property is normal subgroup closed, but neither subgroup nor quotient closed. It is subgroup closed if and only if the group is elementary, i.e. all Sylow subgroups are elementary abelian. If G is solvable, then G and all its quotients have trivial Frattini subgroup if and only if every normal subgroup of G has a complement. For a nilpotent group, every nontrivial normal subgroup has a supplement if and only if the group is elementary abelian. Consequently, the center of a group in which every normal subgroup has a supplement is an elementary abelian direct factor.     

Tamely uniform orders

The following two results are proven.

(i) Let G be a finitely generated torsion-free linear group. If every torsion-free section of G is an R-group, then G is soluble of finite rank. Conversely, if G has finite rank, then it has a subgroup of finite index, in which every torsion-free section is an R-group.

Let G be a finitely generated torsion-free soluble group. If in every torsion-free section of G the normalizer of each isolated subgroup is isolated, then G has finite rank. Conversely, if G has finite rank, then it has a subgroup K of finite index such that in every torsion-free section of K the normalizer of each isolated subgroup is isolated.     

Pseudocomplementation in (Normal) Subgroup Lattices

The goal of this article is to study finite groups admitting a pseudocomplemented subgroup lattice (PK-groups) or a pseudocomplemented normal subgroup lattice (PKN-groups). In particular, we obtain a complete classification of finite PK-groups and of finite nilpotent PKN-groups. We also study groups with a Stone normal subgroup lattice, and we classify finite groups for which every subgroup has a Stone normal subgroup lattice. Finally, we obtain a complete classification of finite groups for which every subgroup is monolithic.

The residual finiteness of positive one-relator groups

It is proven that every positive one-relator group which satisfies the condition has a finite index subgroup which splits as a free product of two free groups amalgamating a finitely generated malnormal subgroup. As a consequence, it is shown that every positive one-relator group is residually finite. It is shown that positive one-relator groups are generically and hence generically residually finite. A new method is given for recognizing malnormal subgroups of free groups. This method employs a 'small cancellation theory' for maps between graphs. Received: August 4, 2000     

Profinite Groups Admitting Just Infinite Quotients

 A profinite group is said to be just infinite if each of its proper quotients is finite. We address the question which profinite groups admit just infinite quotients. It is proved that any profinite group whose order (as a supernatural number) is divisible only by finitely many primes admits just infinite quotients. It is shown that if a profinite group G possesses the property in question then so does every open subgroup and every finite extension of G. Received 20 July 2001     

Twisted Conjugacy Classes for Polyfree Groups

Let G be a finitely generated polyfree group. If G has nonzero Euler characteristic then we show that Aut(G) has a finite index subgroup in which every automorphism has infinite Reidemeister number. For certain G of length 2, we show that the number of Reidemeister classes of every automorphism is infinite.     

Groups with finitely many derived subgroups of non-normal subgroups

A group is called metahamiltonian if all its non-abelian subgroups are normal; it is known that locally soluble metahamiltonian groups have finite derived subgroup. This result is generalized here, by proving that every locally graded group with finitely many derived subgroups of non-normal subgroups has finite derived subgroup. Moreover, locally graded groups having only finitely many derived subgroups of infinite non-normal subgroups are completely described. Received: 25 April 2005

Notes on NE-subgroups of finite groups

In this paper, we first analyze the structure of a finite nonsolvable group in which every cyclic subgroup of order 2 and 4 of every second maximal subgroup is an NE-subgroup. Next, we prove that a finite group G is solvable if every nonnilpotent subgroup of G is a PE-group.     

Groups with restrictions on infinite subnormal subgroups

In this article groups are investigated in which every infinite subnormal subgroup has finitely many conjugates or has finite index in its normal closure.     

On p-nilpotency and minimal subgroups of finite groups

We call a subgroup H of a finite group G c-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K ≤ core(H). In this paper it is proved that a finite group G is p-nilpotent if G is S4-free and every minimal subgroup of P n GN is c-supplemented in NG(P), and when p = 2 P is quaternion-free, where p is the smallest prime number dividing the order of G, P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. As some applications of this result, some known results are generalized.     

Quelques proprietes des espaces homogenes spheriques

Let G be a connected, reductive, algebraic group on an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. Let H be aspherical subgroup of G, i.e. H is a closed subgroup of G such that every Borel subgroup of G operates on G/H with an open orbit.It is shown that for a spherical subgroup H, the homogeneous space G/H is a deformation of a homogeneous space G/H₀, where H₀ contains a maximal unipotent subgroup of G (such a H₀ is spherical). It is also shown that every Borel subgroup of G has a finite number of orbits in G/H.     

The Structure of Finite Non-Nilpotent Groups in Which Every 2-Maximal Subgroup Permutes with all 3-Maximal Subgroups

The structure of finite non-nilpotent groups in which every 2-maximal subgroup permutes with every 3-maximal subgroup is described.     

On residually finite groups of finite general rank

Following A. I.Mal’tsev, we say that a group G has finite general rank if there is a positive integer r such that every finite set of elements of G is contained in some r-generated subgroup. Several known theorems concerning finitely generated residually finite groups are generalized here to the case of residually finite groups of finite general rank. For example, it is proved that the families of all finite homomorphic images of a residually finite group of finite general rank and of the quotient of the group by a nonidentity normal subgroup are different. Special cases of this result are a similar result of Moldavanskii on finitely generated residually finite groups and the following assertion: every residually finite group of finite general rank is Hopfian. This assertion generalizes a similarMal’tsev result on the Hopf property of every finitely generated residually finite group.     

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.     

On complemented subgroups of finite groups

In this paper, it is proved that the class of all finite supersoluble groups with elementary abelian Sylow subgroups is just the class of all finite groups for which every minimal subgroup is complemented. The structure of a finite group under the assumption that all maximal subgroups (respectively 2-maximal) of any Sylow subgroup are complemented is also analyzed.     

Permutable subnormal subgroups of finite groups

The aim of this paper is to prove certain characterization theorems for groups in which permutability is a transitive relation, the so called -groups. In particular, it is shown that the finite solvable -groups, the finite solvable groups in which every subnormal subgroup of defect two is permutable, the finite solvable groups in which every normal subgroup is permutable sensitive, and the finite solvable groups in which conjugate-permutability and permutability coincide are all one and the same class. This follows from our main result which says that the finite modular p-groups, p a prime, are those p-groups in which every subnormal subgroup of defect two is permutable or, equivalently, in which every normal subgroup is permutable sensitive. However, there exist finite insolvable groups which are not -groups but all subnormal subgroups of defect two are permutable. Received: 13 August 2008
