Finite groups all of whose maximal subgroups of even order are PRN-groups

From MaRDI portal





A subgroup \(H\) of a finite group \(G\) is said to be pronormal if \(H\) and \(H^g\) are conjugate in \(\langle H, H^g \rangle\) for all \(g \in G\). Following [\textit{Z. Shen} and \textit{W. Shi}, Acta Math. Sin. 27, No. 4, 715--724 (2011; Zbl 1237.20016)], a group \(G\) is called a PRN-group if every cyclic subgroup of \(G\) of prime order or of order \(4\) is pronormal in \(G\).\N\NIn this article, the authors classify finite groups \(G\) of even order such that \(G\) is not a PRN-group, but all of its maximal subgroups of even order are PRN-groups. The main result asserts that any such group is solvable and involves at most three distinct prime divisors. Moreover, an explicit structural characterization is given: \(G\) is either a minimal non-PRN-group, an external direct product \(C_2 \times M\) with \(M\) a minimal non-PRN-group of odd order or a semidirect product of the form \((C_2 \times R) \rtimes Q\) under precise hypotheses on the action of \(Q\).
