On infinite groups with complemented non-Abelian subgroups. (Q2259466): Difference between revisions

A subgroup \(X\) of a group \(G\) is said to be \textit{complemented} if there exists a subgroup \(Y\) of \(G\) such that \(G=XY\) and \(X\cap Y=\{1\}\). The structure of groups in which all subgroups are complemented was studied by P. Hall in the finite case and by N. V. Baeva in the general case. In the paper under review, the author obtains a complete description of nilpotent groups in which all non-abelian subgroups are complemented. Observe that these groups are periodic (a remark that follows also from a previous more general result of \textit{B. I. Mishchenko} [Ukr. Math. J. 43, No. 7-8, 1031-1033 (1991); translation from Ukr. Mat. Zh. 43, No. 7-8, 1098-1100 (1991; Zbl 0741.20018)]. Moreover, the structure of locally finite groups with the above property is described, under the additional assumption that there exists a non-abelian Sylow subgroup.
