in this article we introduce the notion of n-capable groups. it is shown that every group g admits a uniquely determined subgroup (〖z^n)〗^* (g) which is a characteristic subgroup and lies in the n-centre subgroup of the group g. this is the smallest subgroup of g whose factor group is n-capable. moreover, some properties of n-central extension will be studied.

a subgroup $h$ is said to be $s$-permutable in a group $g$‎, ‎if‎ ‎$hp=ph$ holds for every sylow subgroup $p$ of $g$‎. ‎if there exists a‎ ‎subgroup $b$ of $g$ such that $hb=g$ and $h$ permutes with every‎ ‎sylow subgroup of $b$‎, ‎then $h$ is said to be $ss$-quasinormal in‎ ‎$g$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we say that $h$ is a weakly $ss$-quasinormal‎ ‎subgroup of $g$‎, ‎if there is a normal subgroup ...

‎let $h$ be a prefrattini subgroup of a soluble finite group $g$‎. ‎in the‎ ‎paper it is proved that there exist elements $x,y in g$ such that the equality‎ ‎$h cap h^x cap h^y = phi (g)$ holds‎.

‎In 1970‎, ‎Menegazzo [Gruppi nei quali ogni sottogruppo e intersezione di sottogruppi massimali‎, ‎ Atti Accad‎. ‎Naz‎. ‎Lincei Rend‎. ‎Cl‎. ‎Sci‎. ‎Fis‎. ‎Mat‎. ‎Natur. 48 (1970)‎, ‎559--562.] gave a complete description of the structure of soluble $IM$-groups‎, ‎i.e.‎, ‎groups in which every subgroup can be obtained as intersection of maximal subgroups‎. ‎A group $G$ is said to have the $FM$...
