May 26, 2015 at 23:43 comment added Marty Isaacs I suspect that all groups satisfying the maximal permutizer condition must be solvable. I think I could prove that if I knew that no nonabelian simple group satisfied the condition. If a simple group satisfies the maximal permutizer condition, then every maximal subgroup is complemented by a cyclic group, and that seems unlikely. In fact, a subgroup of even index in a simple group cannot be complemented, but unfortunately, a simple group can fail to have a maximal subgroup of even index. A_7 is a counterexample.
Apr 24, 2015 at 12:54 comment added Jim Humphreys @Simin: In your definition of "permutizer condition", I guess you should require $H$ to be a proper subgroup of $G$. This is already understood in the notion of "maximal subgroup". (By the way, is there a reason for including the tag 'algebraic-groups'?)

Apr 24, 2015 at 9:19 comment added Derek Holt @GeoffRobinson I don't think that's right. $S_3$ satisfies the maximal permutizer condition.
Apr 24, 2015 at 9:03 comment added Simin Eftekhari The converse is also true?
