A note on groups of infinite rank with modular subgroup lattice. (Q2514256)

Let \(\mathfrak D\) denote the class of periodic locally graded groups and let \(\overline{\mathfrak D}\) be the closure of \(\mathfrak D\) under the standard operators \(\acute\mathbf P\), \(\grave\mathbf P\), \(\mathbf L\), \(\mathbf R\). Then \(\overline{\mathfrak D}\) is a large class of locally graded groups (indeed all known examples of locally graded groups are \(\overline{\mathfrak D}\)-groups). \textit{N. S. Chernikov} [Ukr. Math. J. 42, No. 7, 855-861 (1990); translation from Ukr. Mat. Zh. 42, No. 7, 962-970 (1990; Zbl 0751.20030)] has proved that every \(\overline{\mathfrak D}\)-group of finite rank is almost locally soluble. The main result of this paper is: Let \(G\) be a \(\overline{\mathfrak D}\)-group of infinite rank. If all subgroups of infinite rank of \(G\) are permodular then \(G\) has a permodular subgroup lattice.
