Groups whose all subgroups are ascendant or self-normalizing. (Q539201)

The structure of groups in which every subgroup either is subnormal or coincides with its normalizer has been described by \textit{S. Franciosi} and the reviewer [Note Mat. 13, No. 1, 99-105 (1993; Zbl 0809.20019)]. A subgroup \(X\) of a group \(G\) is said to be `ascendant' if there is an ascending series from \(X\) to \(G\); then the concept of an ascendant subgroup is a natural generalization of that of a subnormal subgroup. In the paper under review, the authors provide a full description of locally finite groups whose subgroups are either ascendant or self-normalizing. Moreover, it is shown that if \(G\) is a hyperabelian non-periodic group with the above property, then all subgroups of \(G\) are ascendant. The authors also investigate the structure of groups in which every subgroup either is permutable or self-normalizing (recall here that a subgroup \(X\) is `permutable' if \(XY=YX\) for all subgroups \(Y\) of \(G\)); in particular, it turns out that if \(G\) is any non-periodic group with such property, then all subgroups of \(G\) are permutable.
