A contribution to the theory of finite supersolvable groups. (English) Zbl 0399.20026

The relationship between nilpotence of finite groups and the normality of (i) all maximal subgroups or (ii) all Sylow subgroups, is well known. Using Sylow systems of a subgroup, the author defines concepts of weak normaliser and weak centraliser and uses these to describe properties of supersolvable groups. For example, previous results of the author [J. Algebra 44, 160–168 (1977; Zbl 0344.20016), Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 68, 140–142 (1978; Zbl 0376.20016)] show that: A finite group \(G\) is supersolvable if and only if either i) \(G\) has a weakly normal Sylow system or ii) each maximal subgroup of \(G\) is weakly normal or iii) each proper subgroup of \(G\) is weakly subnormal.
A weak central series of a group may also be defined as well as an analogue of the Fitting subgroup. In both cases, the author demonstrates that their relation to supersolvable groups is very similar to that of the original concepts to nilpotent groups. Finally, an analogue of the Burnside theorem which gives a condition for \(p\)-nilpotence is obtained.
