Groups with almost modular subgroup lattice (Q5949405)

A subgroup of a group is called modular if it is a modular element of the lattice of all subgroups. A subgroup \(H\) of a group \(G\) is almost modular if there exists a subgroup of finite index \(K\) of \(G\) containing \(H\) such that \(H\) is a modular element of the lattice of \(K\).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe authors are mostly studying periodic groups with almost modular subgroup lattice. They prove that a group \(G\) is such a group iff it is a direct product of a group \(M\) with modular subgroup lattice and an Abelian-by-finite group \(K\) containing a finite normal subgroup \(N\) such that the lattice of \(K/N\) is modular and \(\pi(M)\cap\pi(K)=\emptyset\).
