On finite groups with some semi cover-avoiding subgroups. (Q2463813)

\textit{Y. Fan}, \textit{X. Guo} and \textit{K. P. Shum} [Chin. Ann. Math., Ser. A 27, No. 2, 169-176 (2006; Zbl 1109.20017)] introduced the concept of the semi-cover-avoiding (\(p\)-cover avoiding) property. Let \(G\) be a finite group. A subgroup \(H\) of \(G\) is said to be semi-cover-avoiding in \(G\) if there is a chief series of \(G\) such that \(H\) either covers or avoids each chief factor of the series. If \(p\) is a prime, then \(H\) is said to be semi-\(p\)-cover-avoiding if there is a chief series of \(G\) such that \(H\) either covers or avoids each chief factor of the series whose order is divisible by \(p\). Theorem 3.1: Let \(G\) be \(p\)-soluble for some prime \(p\) that divides the order of \(G\), and let \(P\) be a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of the \(p\)-Fitting subgroup of \(G\). If \(P\) is cyclic or every maximal subgroup of \(P\) is semi-\(p\)-cover-avoiding in \(G\), then \(G\) is \(p\)-supersoluble. Theorem 3.3: Let \(G\) be \(p\)-soluble, where \(p\) is the smallest prime dividing the order of \(G\), and let \(P\) be a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of the \(p\)-Fitting subgroup of \(G\). If \(P\) is cyclic or every maximal subgroup of \(P\) is semi-\(p\)-cover-avoiding in \(G\), then \(G\) is \(p\)-nilpotent. Theorem 3.6: Let \(\mathcal F\) be a saturated formation containing the class of all supersoluble groups, and let \(H\) be a soluble normal subgroup of \(G\) such that \(G/H\in{\mathcal F}\). If, for every prime \(p\) dividing the order of the Fitting subgroup \(F(H)\) of \(H\), the Sylow \(p\)-subgroups of \(F(H)\) are cyclic or every maximal subgroup of a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of \(F(H)\) is semi-cover-avoiding in \(G\), then \(G\in{\mathcal F}\).
