This post is a *relative version* of https://mathoverflow.net/q/132675/34538 Let $[H,G]$ be a interval of finite groups with $|G:H| = n$. *Question:* What is a good upper-bound of $|[H,G]|$, as a function of $n$? If $H=\{ e\}$, then the best possible upper-bound is essentially $n^{(\frac{1}{4}+o(1)) \log_2(n)}$ ([here][1], Corollary 1.6). Should we expect the same in general? There is an OEIS page for the maximal cardinal of a subgroup lattice for a group of order $n$: [A018216][2] 1, 2, 2, 5, 2, 6, 2, 16, 6, 8, 2, 16, 2, 10, 4, 67, 2, 28, 2, 22, 10, 14, 2, 54, 8, 16, 28, 28, 2, 28, 2, 374, 4, 20, 4, 78, 2, 22, 16, 76, 2, 36, 2, 40, 12, 26, 2, 236, 10, 64, 4, 46, 2, 212, 14, 98, 22, 32, 2, 80, 2, 34, 36, 2825, 4, 52, 2, 58, 4, 52, 2, 272 I didn't find an OEIS page for the maximal cardinal of an interval of finite groups, at index $n$. This should be computable for the indices $<32$, using GAP or MAGMA. *Remark*: Because an element $K \in [H,G]$ admits a unique partition by cosets $Hg$, we have: $$|[H,G]| < \sum_{k \mid n} {n \choose k}$$ See [this post][3] for a discussion on the estimate of this sum. We have slightly better with $\sum_{k>1, k|n}^n {n-1\choose k-1}$.
