On Polynilpotent Covering Groups of a Polynilpotent Group

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let calNc1,...,ct be the variety of polynilpotent groups of class row (c1,...,ct). In this paper, first, we show that a polynilpotent group G of class row (c1,...,ct) has no any calNc1,...,ct,ct+1-covering group if its Baer-invariant with respect to the variety calNc1,...,ct,ct+1 is nontrivial. As an immediate consequence, we can conclude that a solvable group G of length c with nontrivial solvable multiplier, calSnM(G), has no calSn-covering group for all n>c, where calSn is the variety of solvable groups of length at most n. Second, we prove that if G is a polynilpotent group of class row (c1,...,ct,ct+1) such that calNc'1,...,c't,c't+1M(G)eq1, where c'igeqci for all 1leqileqt and c't+1>ct+1, then G has no any calNc'1,...,c't,c't+1-covering group. This is a vast generalization of the first author's result on nilpotent covering groups (Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 29(7) 711-713, 1998).
