Pi-solvable group

From Encyclopedia of Mathematics - Reading time: 2 min


A generalization of the concept of a solvable group. Let π 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 π or coincides with a certain prime in π, is called a π- solvable group. The basic properties of π- solvable groups are similar to the properties of solvable groups. A π- solvable group is a π1- solvable group for any π1π; the subgroups, quotient groups and extensions of a π- solvable group by a π- solvable group are also π- solvable groups. In a π- solvable group G every π- subgroup (that is, a subgroup all prime factors of the order of which belong to π) is contained in some Hall π- subgroup (a Hall π- subgroup is one with index in the group not divisible by any prime in π) and every π- subgroup (where π is the complement of π in the set of all prime numbers) is contained in some Hall π- subgroup; all Hall π- subgroups and also all Hall π- subgroups are conjugate in G; the index of a maximal subgroup of the group G is either not divisible by any number in π or is a power of one of the numbers of the set π( see [1]). The number of Hall π- subgroup in G is equal to α1αt, where αi1( modpi) for every piπ which divides the order of G, and, moreover, αi divides the order of one of the chief factors of G( see [2]).
