Finite groups with all subgroups not contained in the Frattini subgroup permutable

Let G be a finite group. A subgroup H of G is a permutable subgroup of G if HK = KH for all subgroups K of G. It will be shown that if all subgroups not contained in the Frattini subgroup are permutable in a group G, then all subgroups are permutable in G.     

Injectors and Radicals in Products of Totally Permutable Groups

Abstract

Two subgroups H and K of a group G are said to be totally permutable if every subgroup of H permutes with every subgroup of K. In this paper the behaviour of radicals and injectors associated to Fitting classes in a product of pairwise totally permutable finite groups is studied.     

s-semipermutability and abnormality in finite groups *

A subgroup H of a group G is called s-semipermutable in G if it is permutable with all Sylow p-subgroups of G with (p,∣H∣) for all primes p such that p ∥G ∣. In this pa-per, we investigate the influence of s-semipermutable and abnormal subgroups on the structure of a finite group and classify such finite groups in which every subgroup is either s-semipermutable or abnormal.     

The influence of s-conditionally permutable subgroups on finite groups

A subgroup H of a group G is called s-conditionally permutable in G if for every Sylow subgroup T of G there exists an element x ∈ G such that HTx = TxH. Using the concept of s-conditionally permutable subgroups, some new characterizations of finite groups are obtained and several interesting results are generalized.     

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].     

On SS-Quasinormal Subgroups of Finite Groups

A subgroup of a group G is said to be Sylow-quasinormal (S-quasinormal) in G if it permutes with every Sylow subgroup of G. A subgroup H of a group G is said to be Supplement-Sylow-quasinormal (SS-quasinormal) in G if there is a supplement B of H to G such that H is permutable with every Sylow subgroup of B. In this article, we investigate the influence of SS-quasinormal of maximal or minimal subgroups of Sylow subgroups of the generalized Fitting subgroup of a finite group.     

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     

Some criteria for supersolubility in products of finite groups

Let H and T be subgroups of a finite group G. H is said to be permutable with T in G if HT = TH. In this paper, we use the concept of permutable subgroups to give two new criterions of supersolubility of the product G = AB of finite supersoluble groups A and B.      

Groups in which the hypercentral factor group is a T-group

Abstract We consider groups G having a T - group as factor G/Z_*(G) and exhibit connections with its Frattini subgroup and its nilpotemt radical.Mutually permutable products of these groups with supersolvable ones are described with consequences concerning the Fitting core of supesolvable groups.

On Nearly S-Permutable Subgroups of Finite Groups

We say that a subgroup H of a finite group G is nearly S-permutable in G if for every prime p such that (p, |H|) = 1 and for every subgroup K of G containing H the normalizer N _K (H) contains some Sylow p-subgroup of K. We study the structure of G under the assumption that some subgroups of G are nearly S-permutable in G.     

A note on finite groups in which c-permutability is transitive

A subgroup H of G is c-permutable in G if there exists a permutable subgroup P of?G such that HP=G and H∩P≦H _pG , where H _pG is the largest permutable subgroup of?G contained in?H. A?group G is called CPT-group if c-permutability is transitive in?G. A?number of new characterizations of finite solvable CPT-groups are given.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>-semipermutable subgroups of finite groups and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-nilpotency

A subgroup H of a group is said to be s-semipermutable in G if it is permutable with every Sylow p-subgroup of G with (p, |H|) = 1. Using the concept of s-semipermutable subgroups, some new characterizations of p-nilpotent groups are obtained and several results are generalized.     

Permutability of subgroups of G×H that are direct products of subgroups of the direct factors

If M and S are two subgroups of a group G, M and S permute if MS = SM. Furthermore, M is a permutable subgroup of G if M permutes with every subgroup of G. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for M, a subgroup of G, to permute with a subgroup of G 2 H given that G and H are finite groups. The main part of the paper involves the development of a characterization of permutable subgroups of G 2 H that are direct products of subgroups of the direct factors; that is, subgroups that are equal to A 2 B where A \leqq \leqq G and B \leqq \leqq H.     

The intersection map of subgroups and the classes {\mathcal {PST}_c}, {\mathcal {PT}_c} and {\mathcal {T}_c}

A group G is called a ${\mathcal {T}_{c}}$ -group if every cyclic subnormal subgroup of G is normal in G. Similarly, classes ${\mathcal {PT}_{c}}$ and ${\mathcal {PST}_{c}}$ are defined, by requiring cyclic subnormal subgroups to be permutable or S-permutable, respectively. A subgroup H of a group G is called normal (permutable or S-permutable) cyclic sensitive if whenever X is a normal (permutable or S-permutable) cyclic subgroup of H there is a normal (permutable or S-permutable) cyclic subgroup Y of G such that ${X=Y \cap H}$ . We analyze the behavior of a collection of cyclic normal, permutable and S-permutable subgroups under the intersection map into a fixed subgroup of a group. In particular, we tie the concept of normal, permutable and S-permutable cyclic sensitivity with that of ${\mathcal {T}_c}$ , ${\mathcal {PT}_c}$ and ${\mathcal {PST}_c}$ groups. In the process we provide another way of looking at Dedekind, Iwasawa and nilpotent groups.     

FC-Groups whose central factor group can be embedded in a direct product of finite groups

We consider the question of whether an FC-group G in which the derived subgroup [G, G] is a subgroup of a direct product of finite groups must have its central factor group G/Z(G) also embeddable in a direct product of finite groups.     

Groups in which every non-abelian subgroup is permutable

A subgroupH of a groupG is said to bepermutable ifHX=XH for every subgroupX ofG. In this paper the structure of groups in which every subgroup either is abelian or permutable is investigated.

Permutability of minimal subgroups and<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-nilpotency of finite groups

In this paper it is proved that ifp is a prime dividing the order of a groupG with (|G|,p − 1) = 1 andP a Sylowp-subgroup ofG, thenG isp-nilpotent if every subgroup ofP ∩G ^N of orderp is permutable inN _G (P) and whenp = 2 either every cyclic subgroup ofP ∩G ^N of order 4 is permutable inN _G (P) orP is quaternion-free.

ℳ-Supplemented Subgroups and Their Properties

A subgroup H is called ?-supplemented in a finite group G, if there exists a subgroup B of G such that G = HB and H ₁ B is a proper subgroup of G for any maximal subgroup H ₁ of H. In this article, we investigate the influence of ?-supplementation of some primary subgroups in finite groups. Some new results about supersolvable groups and formation are obtained.     

The Schur property for subgroup lattices of groups

A classical theorem of Schur states that if the centre of a group G has finite index, then the commutator subgroup G′ of G is finite. A lattice analogue of this result is proved in this paper: if a group G contains a modularly embedded subgroup of finite index, then there exists a finite normal subgroup N of G such that G/N has modular subgroup lattice. Here a subgroup M of a group G is said to be modularly embedded in G if the lattice is modular for each element x of G. Some consequences of this theorem are also obtained; in particular, the behaviour of groups covered by finitely many subgroups with modular subgroup lattice is described.
