On ranks of classes of groups
All groups considered are finite and soluble. Let \(\mathfrak X\) be a class of groups and \({\mathcal M}({\mathfrak X})\) be the set of all minimal non-\(\mathfrak X\)-groups. The rank of \(\mathfrak X\) is defined as follows: \(r({\mathfrak X})=\max\{|\pi(G)|\mid G\in{\mathcal M}({\mathfrak X})\}\); \( r({\mathfrak X})=0\), if \({\mathcal M}({\mathfrak X})=\emptyset\); \(r({\mathfrak X})=\infty\), if there is no maximal element in the set \(\{|\pi(G)|\mid G\in{\mathcal M}({\mathfrak X})\}\). A class of groups \(\mathfrak F\) is called a formation if it is closed under taking homomorphic images and subdirect products. In this paper the ranks of a series of group classes are investigated. It is obtained the structure of a minimal non-\(\mathfrak F\) group (\({\mathfrak F}=\mathfrak{NX}\) and \(\mathfrak X\) is a subgroup-closed nonempty formation). In particular it is proved: Theorem. Let \(\mathfrak X\) be a subgroup-closed nonempty formation and \({\mathfrak F}=\mathfrak{NX}\). Then (1) \(r({\mathfrak F})\leq 1+r({\mathfrak X})\); (2) A group \(G\) is a minimal non-\(\mathfrak F\)-group if and only if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) \(|\pi(G)|\leq 1+r({\mathfrak X})\); (ii) \(G\in{\mathfrak N}_p{\mathfrak F}\) for some prime \(p\); (iii) \(G^{\mathfrak F}\Phi(G)=F(G)\); (iv) \(G/\Phi(G)=F(G)/\Phi(G)>M/\Phi(G)\), where \(F(G)/\Phi(G)\) is the unique minimal normal subgroup of \(G/\Phi(G)\) and the order of \(F(G)/\Phi(G)\) is a power of some prime, \(M\) is an \(\mathfrak F\)-abnormal maximal subgroup of \(G\) and \(M/\Phi(G)\) is a minimal non-\(\mathfrak X\)-group.
