This post is a *relative version* of http://mathoverflow.net/q/132675/34538 Let $[H,G]$ be a interval of finite groups with $|G:H| = n$. *Question:* What is a good estimate 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 $n$: http://oeis.org/A018216 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 easily 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][2] for a discussion on the estimate of this sum. We have slightly better with $\sum_{k>1, k|n}^n {n-1\choose k-1}$.
