A generalization of the concept of a solvable group. Let
be a certain set of prime numbers. A finite group for which the order of each composition factor either is coprime to any member of
or coincides with a certain prime in ,
is called a -
solvable group. The basic properties of -
solvable groups are similar to the properties of solvable groups. A -
solvable group is a -
solvable group for any ;
the subgroups, quotient groups and extensions of a -
solvable group by a -
solvable group are also -
solvable groups. In a -
solvable group
every -
subgroup (that is, a subgroup all prime factors of the order of which belong to )
is contained in some Hall -
subgroup (a Hall -
subgroup is one with index in the group not divisible by any prime in )
and every -
subgroup (where
is the complement of
in the set of all prime numbers) is contained in some Hall -
subgroup; all Hall -
subgroups and also all Hall -
subgroups are conjugate in ;
the index of a maximal subgroup of the group
is either not divisible by any number in
or is a power of one of the numbers of the set (
see [1]). The number of Hall -
subgroup in
is equal to ,
where (
)
for every
which divides the order of ,
and, moreover,
divides the order of one of the chief factors of (
see [2]).
