Some criteria for supersolubility of finite groups

A. Vasil'ev,  V. Vasil'ev,   T. Vasil'eva

All groups considered in this paper are finite. Let \(H\) be a subgroup of a group \(G\). The permutizer [1, p. 27] of \(H\) in \(G\) is the subgroup \(P_G(H)=\langle x\in G\ |\ \langle x\rangle H=H\langle x\rangle \rangle\).

Definition. Let \(H\) be a subgroup of a group \(G\). We say that
\(1)\) \(H\) is permuteral in \(G\), if \(P_G(H)=G\);
\(2)\) \(H\) is strongly permuteral in \(G\) if \(P_U(H)=U\), whenever \(H\leq U\leq G\).

There exist groups that have permuteral but not strongly permuteral subgroups. For example, in the group \(G=PSL(2, 7)\), a Sylow \(3\)-subgroup \(Z_3\) is permuteral in \(G\). Since \(Z_3\leq U\leq G\), where \(U\) is isomorphic to the alternating group \(A_4\) of degree 4 and \(P_U(Z_3)=Z_3\), it follows that \(Z_3\) is not strongly permuteral in \(G\).

Theorem 1. Let \(G\) be a metanilpotent group. Then the following statements are equivalent:
\(1)\) \(G\) is supersoluble;
\(2)\) Every Sylow subgroup of \(G\) is strongly permuteral in \(G\);
\(3)\) Every Sylow subgroup of \(G\) is permuteral in \(G\).


Theorem 2. Let \(G\) be a group. Then the following statements are equivalent:
\(1)\) \(G\) is supersoluble\(;\)
\(2)\) Every pronormal subgroup of \(G\) is strongly permuteral in \(G\);
\(3)\) Every pronormal subgroup of \(G\) is permuteral in \(G\);
\(4)\) Every Hall subgroup of \(G\) is strongly permuteral in \(G\);
\(5)\) Every Hall subgroup of \(G\) is permuteral in \(G\).


Theorem 3. Let \(G\) be a group. Then the following statements are equivalent:
\(1)\) \(G\) is supersoluble;
\(2)\) \(G=AB\) is the product of strongly permuteral nilpotent subgroups \(A\) and \(B\) of \(G\);
\(3)\) \(G=AB\) is the product of permuteral nilpotent subgroups \(A\) and \(B\) of \(G\).


Corollary 3.1. Let \(G\) be a group, and let \(G=AB\) be the product of its Sylow subgroups \(A\) and \(B\). Then \(G\) is supersoluble if and only if \(A\) and \(B\) are permuteral in \(G\).

Corollary 3.2. Let \(G\) be a group. Then \(G\) is supersoluble if and only if \(G=F(G)H\), where \(H\) is a permuteral Carter subgroup of \(G\).
