Groups satisfying the double chain condition on non-subnormal subgroups (Q2218669)

A group \(G\) is said to satisfy the double chain condition on non-subnormal subgroups if, for each double chain \[\cdots\leq X_{-n}\leq\dots\leq X_{-1}\leq X_0\leq X_1\leq\dots\leq X_n\leq\cdots\] there exists an integer \(k\) such that either \(X_n=X_k\) for all \(n\leq k\) or \(X_n=X_k\) for all \(n\geq k\). In the paper under review, the author proves that if \(G\) is a locally (generalized radical) group satisfying the double chain condition on non-subnormal subgroups, then \(G\) is soluble-by-finite and satisfies either the minimal or the maximal condition on non-subnormal subgroups. Here, a group is called \textit{generalized radical} if it has an ascending series each of whose factors is either locally nilpotent or locally finite.
