Sylow products and the solvable radical. (Q2572618)

If \(G\) is a finite group, a complete Sylow product of \(G\) is a product of Sylow subgroups of \(G\), one for each prime dividing \(|G|\). The main goal of the paper under review is to study the intersection \(H(G)\) of all possible complete Sylow products of the finite group \(G\). The authors prove that the group \(G\) is soluble precisely when each complete Sylow product of \(G\) equals \(G\), that is, the subgroup \(H(G)\) is equal to \(G\). The second main result of the paper summarises the main properties of the subgroup \(H(G)\) and shows that it is closely related to the soluble radical of \(G\). In fact, the soluble radical of \(G\), \(R(G)\), is just the soluble radical of \(H(G)\). Moreover, \(R(G)\) is of the form \(H(X)\) for some characteristic subgroup \(X\) of \(G\) contained in \(H(G)\). If the order of \(G\) is not divisible by some integers belonging to a finite set, the authors prove in Theorem C that \(R(G)=H(G)\).
