Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

It is shown that there exists a logarithmic upper bound on the Fitting length h(G) of a finite soluble group G in terms of the number ν(G) of the conjugacy classes of its maximal nilpotent subgroups. For ν(G) = 3, the best possible bound on h(G) is shown to be 4.
