We exhibit counterexamples to a Conjecture of Nesin, since we build a connected solvable group with finite center and of finite Morley rank in which no normal nilpotent subgroup has a nilpotent complement. The main result says that each centerless connected solvable group G of finite Morley has a normal nilpotent subgroup U and an abelian subgroup T such that G = U o T , if and only if, for any...

By the Shepherd–Leedham-Green–McKay theorem on finite p-groups of maximal class, if a finite p-group of order pn has nilpotency class n−1, then it has a subgroup of nilpotency class at most 2 with index bounded in terms of p. Counterexamples to a rank analogue of this theorem are constructed, which give a negative solution to Problem 16.103 in Kourovka Notebook. Moreover, it is shown that there...

let h be a subgroup of a group g. h is said to be s-embedded in g if g has a normal t such that ht is an s-permutable subgroup of g and h ∩ t ≤ h sg, where h denotes the subgroup generated by all those subgroups of h which are s-permutable in g. in this paper, we investigate the influence of minimal s-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups. we determine the structure the finite grou...

We analyze the complexity of ascendant sequences in locally nilpotent groups, showing that if G is a computable locally nilpotent group and x0; x1; : : : ; xN 2 G, N 2 N, then one can always …nd a uniformly computably enumerable (i.e. uniformly 1) ascendant sequence of order type ! + 1 of subgroups in G beginning with hx0; x1; : : : ; xN iG, the subgroup generated by x0; x1; : : : ; xN in G. Th...

We prove that a torsion group G with all subgroups subnormal is a nilpotent group or G = N(A1×· · ·×An) is a product of a normal nilpotent subgroup N and pi -subgroups Ai , where Ai = A (i) 1 · · ·A (i) mi G , A (i) j is a Heineken–Mohamed type group, and p1, . . . , pn are pairwise distinct primes (n ≥ 1; i = 1, . . . , n; j = 1, . . . ,mi and mi are positive integers).

For any right-angled Artin group, we show that its outer automorphism group contains either a finite-index nilpotent subgroup or a nonabelian free subgroup. This is a weak Tits alternative theorem. We find a criterion on the defining graph that determines which case holds. We also consider some examples of solvable subgroups, including one that is not virtually nilpotent and is embedded in a no...

This article examines aspects of the theory of locally nilpotent linear groups. We also present a new classification result for locally nilpotent linear groups over an arbitrary field F. 1. Why Locally Nilpotent Linear Groups? Linear (matrix) groups are a commonly used concrete representation of groups. The first investigations of linear groups were undertaken in the second half of the 19th cen...

Let G be a free product of two groups with amalgamated subgroup, π be either the set of all prime numbers or the one-element set {p} for some prime number p. Denote by Σ the family of all cyclic subgroups of group G, which are separable in the class of all finite π-groups. Obviously, cyclic subgroups of the free factors, which aren’t separable in these factors by the family of all normal subgro...

All groups considered are finite. Given a group G, the Frattini subgroup of G, Q(G) is defined to be the intersection of all maximal subgroups of G. There has been much interest in generalizing the Frattini subgroup in various ways, and in investigating their influence on the structure of the group (see [3,.5,8,12,13]). These generalizations were done taking into account the following question:...

This self-contained paper is part of a series [FF1, FF2] seeking to understand groups of homeomorphisms of manifolds in analogy with the theory of Lie groups and their discrete subgroups. Plante-Thurston proved that every nilpotent subgroup of Diff(S) is abelian. One of our main results is a sharp converse: Diff(S) contains every finitely-generated, torsion-free nilpotent group.
