Two-generator subgroups of soluble groups and their Fitting subgroups. (Q1411071)

The finite soluble group \(G\) is called an \((F_n)\)-group, if \(G\) satisfies: \((F_n)\): For every \(x,y\in G\), we have \(| F(\langle x,y\rangle)|\leq n\). (Here, \(F(H)\) denotes the Fitting subgroup of the group \(H\).) Let \(p\) be a prime. It is shown that an \((F_n)\)-group is of \(p\)-length one, if \(p^p>n\) for a Fermat prime \(p\) or \(p^{p+1}>n\) otherwise. Moreover, the Fitting length of \((F_n)\)-groups is bounded by a function of \(n\) given explicitly.
