The X-series of a p-group and complements of abelian subgroups

Abstract: Let

G

be a

p

-group. We denote by

m a t h c a l X_{i} (G)

the intersection of all subgroups of

G

having index

p^{i}

, for

i l e q l o g_{p} (| G |)

. In this paper, the newly introduced series

{m a t h c a l X_{i} (G)}_{i}

is investigated and a number of results concerning its behaviour are proved. As an application of these results, we show that if an abelian subgroup

A

of

G

intersects each one of the subgroups

m a t h c a l X_{i} (G)

at

m a t h c a l X_{i} (A)

, then

A

has a complement in

G

. Conversely if an arbitrary subgroup

H

of

G

has a normal complement, then

m a t h c a l X_{i} (H) = m a t h c a l X_{i} (G) c a p H

.
