Minimal generation of finite soluble groups by projectors and normalizers (Q3835871)

Let \(\mathfrak X\) be a Schunck class of finite soluble groups of characteristic \(\pi\). It is known that every soluble group has \(\mathfrak X\)-projectors and all of them are conjugate. If, moreover, \(G\) is a soluble \(\pi\)-group, then \(G\) is generated by all of its projectors. If \(\mathfrak F\) is a saturated formation of full characteristic, then the same is true for the \(\mathfrak F\)-normalizers. Let \(\mathfrak X\) be a Schunck class of characteristic \(\pi\) and let \(\mathfrak F\) be a saturated formation of full characteristic. Denote by \(\eta_{\mathfrak X}(G)\) the minimal number of \(\mathfrak X\)-projectors which generate a finite soluble \(\pi\)-group \(G\). Let \(\overline\eta_{\mathfrak F}(G)\) be the minimal number of \(\mathfrak F\)-normalizers generating a finite soluble group \(G\). The aim of the paper under review is to obtain formulas for the functions \(\eta_{\mathfrak X}\) and \(\overline\eta_{\mathfrak F}\) similar to the one given by \textit{W. Gaschütz} for the minimal number of generators of a soluble group [Ill. J. Math. 3, 469-476 (1959; Zbl 0093.25002)] in terms of the complemented chief factors.
