The indices of subgroups of finite groups in the join of their conjugate pairs. (Q262967)

Let \(G\) be a finite group and let \(H\) be a subgroup of \(G\). This paper is devoted to investigate the influence of the index of \(H\) in \(\langle H,H^g\rangle\) on the structure of \(G\). The main results proved by the authors are the following: (Theorem 3.1) If \(G\) is a non-solvable group and \(|\pi(|\langle H,H^g\rangle:H|)|\leq 2\) for any \(g\in G\) and any cyclic subgroup \(H\) of prime power order, then \(G/S(G)\) is isomorphic to \(A_5\) or to \(S_5\). (Theorem 3.2) Assume that \(|\langle H,H^g\rangle:H|\) is a prime power for any \(g\in G\) and any cyclic subgroup \(H\) of prime power order, then \(G\) is solvable. (Theorem 3.3) Assume that \(|\langle H,H^g\rangle:H|\) is square free for any \(g\in G\) and any cyclic subgroup \(H\) of prime power order, then \(G\) is supersolvable.
