On the intersection of the normalizers of the \(\mathcal F\)-residuals of subgroups of a finite group. (Q2015194)

Let \(G\) be a finite group, \(\mathfrak F\) a formation and \(p\) a prime. In this paper, the authors define the intersection of the normalizers of the \(\mathfrak F\)-residuals of all subgroups of \(G\) by \(D_{\mathfrak F}(G)\), \(D_{\mathfrak F}(G)=D^1_{\mathfrak F}(G)\) and \(D^{i+1}_{\mathfrak F}(G)/D^i_{\mathfrak F}(G)=D_{\mathfrak F}(G/D^i_{\mathfrak F}(G))\), with \(D_{\mathfrak F}^\infty(G)\) as the last term. Furthermore, the authors prove that under certain hypotheses, the \(\mathfrak F\)-residual \(G^{\mathfrak F}\) is nilpotent if and only if \(G=D^\infty_{\mathfrak F}(G)\). Lastly, if the formation \(\mathfrak F\) contains the class of all nilpotent groups or the class of all abelian groups, then \(G^{\mathfrak F}\) is \(p\)-nilpotent if and only if every cyclic subgroup of \(G\) of order \(p\) and 4 (if \(p=2\)) is contained in \(D^\infty_{\mathfrak F}(G)\). These results generalize recent theorems of Li, Shen, Shi and Qian [see \textit{S. Li} and \textit{Z. Shen}, J. Algebra 323, No. 5, 1349-1357 (2010; Zbl 1195.20019) and \textit{Z. Shen, W.-J. Shi} and \textit{G.-H. Qian}, J. Algebra 352, No. 1, 290-298 (2012; Zbl 1255.20019)].
