We shall say that an automorphism a is nilpotent or acts nilpotently on a group G if in the holomorph H= [G](a) of G with a, a is a bounded left Engel element, that is, [H, ¿a] = l for some natural number ¿. Here [H, ka] means [H, (k — l)a] with [H, Oa] denoting H. Let G' denote the commutator subgroup [G, G], and let $(G) denote the Frattini subgroup of G. If a is an automorphism of a nilpoten...

We show that every finitely generated nilpotent group of class 2 occurs as the quotient of a finitely presented abelian-by-nilpotent group by its largest nilpotent normal subgroup.

we call $h$ an $ss$-embedded subgroup of $g$ if there exists a‎ ‎normal subgroup $t$ of $g$ such that $ht$ is subnormal in $g$ and‎ ‎$hcap tleq h_{sg}$‎, ‎where $h_{sg}$ is the maximal $s$-permutable‎ ‎subgroup of $g$ contained in $h$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we investigate the‎ ‎influence of some $ss$-embedded subgroups on the structure of a‎ ‎finite group $g$‎. ‎some new results were obtained.‎

This is a toy example to illustrate some of the techniques of fusion and transfer as described in Gorenstein’s text Finite Groups. Finite groups with a unique subgroup of order p (p an odd prime) are classified in terms of a cyclic p′-extension of relatively simple combinatorial data. This note is intended to address a slightly misstated exercise in somewhat more detail and to be a toy example ...

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...

An MC group is a group in which all chains of centralizers have finite length. In this article, we show that every nilpotent subgroup of an MC group is contained in a definable subgroup which is nilpotent of the same nilpotence class. Definitions are uniform when the lengths of chains are bounded.

Among other things, we prove that the group of automorphisms fixing every normal subgroup of a (nilpotent of class c)-by-abelian group is (nilpotent of class ≤ c)-by-metabelian. In particular, the group of automorphisms fixing every normal subgroup of a metabelian group is soluble of derived length at most 3. An example shows that this bound cannot be improved.

‎for a finite group $g$ let $nu(g)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $g$‎. ‎the aim of this paper is to classify all the non-nilpotent groups with $nu(g)=3$‎.

We show that amalgams of nitely generated torsionfree nilpotent groups of class c along a cyclic subgroup satisfy a polynomial isoperimetric inequality of degree 4c. The distortion of the amalgamated subgroup is bounded above by a polynomial of degree c. We also give an example of a non-cyclic amalgam of nitely generated torsionfree nilpotent groups along an abelian, isolated and normal subgrou...
