On the abnormal structure of finite groups.

From MaRDI portal





It is well-known that a finite group, whose maximal subgroups are nilpotent, must be soluble. This result was improved by \textit{J. S. Rose} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 40, 348-361 (1965; Zbl 0136.28204)], who showed that in order to guarantee the solubility of a finite group \(G\), it is enough to suppose that every maximal non-normal subgroup of \(G\) is nilpotent. Although \textit{B. Huppert} [Math. Z. 60, 409-434 (1954; Zbl 0057.25303)] proved that any finite minimal non-supersoluble group is soluble, the consideration of the group \(\text{PGL}(2,7)\) shows that there exist finite insoluble groups whose maximal non-normal subgroups are supersoluble. In this interesting paper, the authors give a complete description of the structure of finite groups in which every maximal non-normal subgroup is supersoluble. Moreover, they classify finite primitive groups whose core-free maximal subgroups are supersoluble.
