Finite groups with \(G\)-permutable Schmidt subgroups (Q6042158)

Let \(G\) be a group and let \(X\) be a non-empty subset of \(G\). A subgroup \(A \leq G\) is said to be \(X\)-permutable with a subgroup \(B\), if \(AB^{x} = B^{x}A\), for some element \(x \in X\) and \(X\)-\(\mathsf{h}\)-permutable if \(AB^{x} = B^{x}A\), for some element \(x \in X \cap \langle A, B \rangle\). A subgroup \(A\) is said to be \(X\)-permutable (\(X\)-\(\mathsf{h}\)-permutable) in \(G\) if \(A\) is \(X\)-permutable (\(X\)-\(\mathsf{h}\)-permutable) with every subgroup of \(G\). The previous definitions were introduced by \textit{W. Guo} et al. [Sib. Math. J. 48, No. 4, 593--605 (2007; Zbl 1153.20304)] in order to generalize the concept of permutability. A group \(G\) is said a Schmidt group if \(G\) is minimal non-nilpotent that is a non-nilpotent group whose proper subgroups are nilpotent. In the paper under review, the authors study the structure of a finite group \(G\) with all its Schmidt subgroups \(G\)-permutable (\(G\)-\(\mathsf{h}\)-permutable). In particular, they prove the following two theorems. Theorem A: If every Schmidt subgroup of a group \(G\) is \(G\)-permutable, then \(G\) is not a non-abelian simple group. Theorem B: If every Schmidt subgroup of a group \(G\) is \(G\)-\(\mathsf{h}\)-permutable, then \(G\) is soluble.
