Groups with supersoluble non-normal subgroups. (Q2809243)

A group \(G\) is said to be locally graded if each of its infinite finitely generated subgroups has a proper subgroup of finite index. Locally soluble-by-finite groups are locally graded.NEWLINENEWLINE The authors' main theorem is the following. Let \(G\) be a locally graded group. Then every non-normal subgroup of \(G\) is supersoluble if and only if one of the following holds: (i) \(G\) is a Dedekind group; (ii) \(G\) is a polycyclic group with each of its non-supersoluble subgroups normal; (iii) \(G\) contains a Prüfer normal subgroup \(J\) such that \(G/J\) is a finite Dedekind group; (iv) \(G\) is a soluble minimax group whose finite residual \(J\) is a Prüfer group containing \(G'\) and every Abelian subgroup of \(G\) is min-by-max; (v) \(G\) is a product \(JE\), where \(J\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb{Z}[1/2]\) and \(E\) is a finite Hamiltonian group.NEWLINENEWLINE In a separate theorem the authors give a precise, but necessarily complicated, description of the groups satisfying (ii) above. Finally they are also able to say something about locally graded groups with only finitely many normalizers of non-supersoluble subgroups.
