Solvable PST-groups, strong Sylow bases and mutually permutable products. (Q1021440)

A group \(G\) is called a `T-group' (resp. `PT-group') if normality (resp. permutability) is a transitive relation in \(G\). A subgroup \(H\) of \(G\) is S-permutable in \(G\) if \(H\) permutes with every Sylow subgroup of \(G\). A group \(G\) is called a `PST'-group if S-permutability is a transitive relation in \(G\). The main aim of this paper is to provide some new characterizations of finite solvable PST-groups (resp. PT-groups, T-groups). In particular, it is proved (Theorem B) that a finite group \(G\) is a solvable PST-group if and only if it has a normal solvable PST-subgroup \(N\) such that \(G/N''\) is a solvable PST-group.
