Another characteristic conjugacy class of subgroups of finite soluble groups

Abstract

Let name be a class of finite soluble groups with the properties: (1) is a Fitting class (i.e. normal subgroup closed and normal product closed) and (2) if N ≦ H ≦ G ∈, N ⊲ G and H/N is a p-group for some prime p, then H ∈. Then is called a Fischer class. In any finite soluble group G, there exists a unique conjugacy class of maximal -subgroups V called the -injectors which have the property that for every N◃◃G, N ∩ V is a maximal -subgroup of N [3]. 3. By Lemma 1 (4) [7] an -injector V of G covers or avoids a chief factor of G. As in [7] we will call a chief factor -covered or -avoided according as V covers or avoids it and -complemented if it is complemented and each of its complements contains some -injector. Furthermore we will call a chief factor partially-complemented if it is complemented and at least one of its complements contains some -injector of G.
