Critical group
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 3 min
In mathematics, in the realm of group theory, a group is said to be critical if it is not in the variety generated by all its proper subquotients, which includes all its subgroups and all its quotients.[1]
- Any finite monolithic A-group is critical. This result is due to Kovacs and Newman.[2] But not every monolithic group is critical.[3]
- The variety generated by a finite group has a finite number of nonisomorphic critical groups.[1]
