The Schur property for subgroup lattices of groups. (Q944207)

By a well-known result of Schur's, if the centre \(Z(G)\) of a group \(G\) has finite index, then the commutator subgroup \(G'\) of \(G\) is finite. The main goal of this paper is to provide a lattice analogue of this result. It states that if a group \(G\) contains a modularly embedded subgroup of finite index, then there is a finite normal subgroup \(N\) of \(G\) such that the subgroup lattice of the quotient \(G/N\) is modular. Some interesting consequences of this theorem are also presented.
