On an open problem of Skiba

Abstract: Let

s i g m a = s i g m a_{i} | i i n I

be some partition of the set

m a t h b b P

of all primes, that is,

and

s i g m a_{i} c a p s i g m a_{j} = e m p t y s e t

for all

i e q j

. Let

G

be a finite group. A set

m a t h c a l H

of subgroups of

G

is said to be a complete Hall

s i g m a

-set of

G

if every non-identity member of

m a t h c a l H

is a Hall

s i g m a_{i}

-subgroup of

G

and

m a t h c a l H

contains exactly one Hall

s i g m a_{i}

-subgroup of

G

for every

s i g m a_{i} i n s i g m a (G)

.

G

is said to be a

s i g m a

-group if it possesses a complete Hall

s i g m a

-set. A

s i g m a

-group

G

is said to be

s i g m a

-dispersive provided

G

has a normal series

1 = G_{1} < G_{2} < c d o t s < G_{t} < G_{t + 1} = G

and a complete Hall

s i g m a

-set

H_{1}, H_{2}, c d o t s, H_{t}

such that

G_{i} H_{i} = G_{i + 1}

for all

i = 1, 2, l d o t s t

. In this paper, we give a characterizations of

s i g m a

-dispersive group, which give a positive answer to an open problem of Skiba in the paper.
