Lower Wielandt Series of a finite group

Let $G$ be a finite group. The Wielandt subgroup of $G$ is defined to be the intersection of all the normalizers of the subnormal subgroups of $G$ i.e. $$w(G) = \bigcap_{H \triangleleft \triangleleft …

Case in which the pronormaliser of a subgroup is a subgroup of the group

The pronormaliser of a subgroup $H$ in a group $G$, denoted $P_G(H)$, is defined to be the set of elements of $G$ that pronormalise $H$. That is, $$P_G(H) = \{g \in G \; | \; \exists x\in \langle H, …

The order of the system normalizer in a finite solvable group

Definition: Let $G$ be a finite solvable group and $\Sigma \in \text{H}(G)$, the set of Hall systems of $G$. The normaliser of $\Sigma$ is defined as $$ N_G(\Sigma) = \{ g\in G \,|\, H=H^g \text{ for …

Relation between the Frattini property and pronormal subgroups of solvable groups

A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to satisfy the Frattini Property if for any subgroup $K$ and $L$ such that $H\leq K \unlhd L$ implies that $L \leq N_L(H)K$. A subgroup is $H$ is pronormal in $G$ if for …

Characterisation of supersolvability of a finite group

Definition 1: A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be abnormal in $G$ if for each $g\in G$, we have $g\in \langle H, H^g \rangle$. Definition 2: A finite group $G$ is called a $B$-group if every …

Relationship between non-zero values of characters and normality in finite groups

Note: Let $G$ be a finite group and $H \leq G$. Then it is clear that if $H \unlhd G$, then $\chi(h) \neq 0$ for irreducible constituents $\chi$ of the permutation character $(1_H)^G$ and $h\in H$. T …
