Review text

The present paper is dedicated to the memory of Bernhard H. Neumann. The article studies Fitting cores of saturated formations of soluble groups. The Fitting core of a class \(\mathcal C\) of groups is defined to be the class of all groups \(A\) with the property that all normal products of \(A\) with groups in \(\mathcal C\) belong to \(\mathcal C\). A linear mapping \(\sigma\) of order of a power of a prime \(p\) on a vector space over a field of prime order \(q\) is called a generalised power mapping if the minimal polynomial of \(\sigma\) is irreducible and of degree prime to \(p\). Let \(\mathcal F\) be a saturated formation of soluble groups, described locally by formations \(f_p\). Let \(T\) be a group satisfying the following conditions: (i) \(T\in{\mathcal F}\), (ii) if \(f_p\) is a non-empty non-Fitting formation and \(H/K\) is a characteristic factor of \(T\) and a \(p\)-group, then \((T/K)/C_{T/K}(H/K)\) is cyclic and elements of \(T/K\) operate as generalised power automorphisms of \(H/K\). Then \(T\) belongs to the Fitting core of \(\mathcal F\) (Proposition). A corollary of this proposition is: if \(G\) is a soluble PST-group -- i.e. a group whose subnormal subgroups permute with its Sylow subgroups -- which belongs to a saturated formation \(\mathcal F\), then \(G\) belongs to the Fitting core of \(\mathcal F\) (Corollary 2). This generalises a result by \textit{J. Cossey} [Glasg. Math. J. 37, No.~3, 363-371 (1995; Zbl 0840.20018)].
