The Fitting length of a product of mutually permutable finite groups (Q2330068)

A group \(G\) is said to be a mutually permutable product of its subgroups \(A\) and \(B\) if \(G=AB\), \(AY=YA\) and \(XB=BX\) for all subgroups \(X\) of \(A\) and \(Y\) of \(B\). It has recently been proved by \textit{J. Cossey} and \textit{Y. Li} [Arch. Math. 110, No. 6, 533--537 (2018; Zbl 1494.20030)] that if a finite group \(G=AB\) is a mutually permutable product of two \(p\)-soluble subgroups \(A\) and \(B\), then \(G\) is \(p\)-soluble and \(l_p(G)\leq \max\{ l_p(A),l_p(B)\}+1\). In the paper under review, the author extends this result to the case of more factors.
