Abstract. A classical topic of research in Finite Group
Theory is the following:
What is the influence on the structure of the group of
the fact that all members of some relevant family of
subgoups enjoy a given embedding property?
The cover-avoidance property is a subgroup embedding prop-
erty that has recovered much attention in the last few years. In
this survey article we present a number of results showing that its
influence goes much further from the classical supersolubility.
1. Introduction
In this survey article all groups are assumed to be finite. If a subgroup A
of a group G has the property that either HA = KA or A∩H = A∩K for
every chief factor H/K of G, then A is said to have the cover-avoidance

property in G and is called a CAP-subgroup of G. This subgroup em-
bedding property has afforded the attention of many authors. Some of
them were interested in discovering some distinguished families of CAP-
subgroups, mainly in the soluble universe, while others discovered some
characterisations of soluble and supersoluble groups, or their correspond-
ing local versions, in terms of CAP-property of the members of some
relevant familes of subgroups. The reader may consult [2, Chapter 4], [3],
[4], [15] and [28].
The purpose of this survey is to present some recent results about how
the CAP-property of some distinguished subgroups of a group influences
in its structure. In this context, the natural starting point is to think
on groups in which every subgroup has the CAP-property. These groups
are exactly the supersoluble ones. Recall that if p is a prime, a group G
is said to be p-supersoluble if chief factor of G is cyclic of order p or a
p′-group. The group G is supersoluble if it is p-supersoluble for all primes
p, i.e., every chief factor of G is a cyclic group of prime order.
Our study confirms that in many cases the cover and avoidance prop-
erty of some restricted families of subgroups gives rise to structural results
involving saturated formations containing the class of all supersoluble
groups. Recall that a class of groups F is said to be a formation if F
is closed under taking epimorphic images and subdirect products. F is
saturated if is closed under taking Frattini extensions. It is well-known
that the class of all supersoluble groups is a saturated formation
Three of the most popular families in the CAP context are the ones
of maximal, 2-maximal and minimal subgroups of the Sylow subgroups.
The following family includes them as particular cases: Let p be a prime.
For a group G and a p-subgroup D of G, we define:
(1) If p is odd, then ℱD(G) = {H ≤ G : ∣H∣ = ∣D∣}
(2) If p = 2, then ℱD(G) = {H ≤ G : ∣H∣ ∈ {∣D∣, 2∣D∣}}
2. Strong CAP-subgroups
Unfortunately, the cover-avoidance property is not inherited in interme-
diate subgroups. This means that if A is a CAP-subgroup of G and A is
a subgroup of B, then A is not, in general, a CAP-subgroup of B.
Example 2.1. ([3, Example 1.3])
Let G = Sym(6) be the symmetric group of degree 6. Consider
the following subgroups of G: A = ⟨(123), (12)(34), (14)(23)⟩ ∼= Alt(4),
C = ⟨(56)⟩, P = ⟨(12)(34), (14)(23), (56)⟩ ∼= C2 × C2 × C2 and H =

.20 On the cover-avoidance property
⟨(12)(34)(56)⟩. Since C ∩ A = 1 and C ≤ CG(A), take K = A × C.
Then, G = HN , for N = Alt(6) and H is a CAP-subgroup of G.
However, P/C is a chief factor of K and C < HC = ⟨(12)(34), (56)⟩ <
P . Then, H is not a CAP-subgroup of K.
Definition 2.2. Let A be a subgroup of a group G. Then we say that A
is a strong CAP -subgroup of G if A is a CAP -subgroup of any subgroup
of G containing A.
Our main result of this section anaylises the impact of the strong
CAP-property of some subgroups of the generalised Fitting subgroup on
the structure of the group.
Theorem 2.3. ([4, Theorem A]) Let F be a saturated formation con-
taining all supersoluble groups and G a group with a normal subgroup E
such that G/E ∈ F. Suppose that every non-cyclic Sylow subgroup P of
the generalised Fitting subgroup F ∗(E) of E has a subgroup D such that
1 < ∣D∣ < ∣P ∣ and all subgroups H ∈ ℱD(P ) are strong CAP-subgroups
of G. Then G ∈ F.
For the saturated formation of all supersoluble groups we have:
Corollary 2.4. ([4, Corollary 2]) A group G is supersoluble if and only
if every non-cyclic Sylow subgroup P of F ∗(G) has a subgroup D such
that 1 < ∣D∣ < ∣P ∣ and all subgroups H of P with order ∣H∣ = ∣D∣ and
with order 2∣D∣ (if P is a non-abelian 2-group) are strong CAP-subgroups
of G.
3. Partial CAP-subgroups
Another subgroup embedding property in the CAP orbit is the following.
Definition 3.1. Let A be a subgroup of a group G. Then, we say that
A has the partial cover and avoidance property or A is a partial CAP-
subgroup (or semi CAP-subgroup) of G if there exists a chief series ΓA
of G such that A either covers or avoids each factor of ΓA.
This embedding property was first studied by Y. Fan, X. Guo and K.
P. Shum in [11]. They called these subgroups semi CAP-subgroups. This
is the name used in the subsequent papers [14], [15], [17], [7] and [28].
Nevertheless, since in this case the prefix "semi" does not refer to any
half, we think that the name partial CAP-subgroup is more descriptive.
It is clear that CAP-subgroups are partial CAP-subgroups, but the
converse does not hold in general.

Example 3.2. Consider as in Example 2.1 the symmetric group of degree
6, G = Sym(6). The subgroup H is a partial CAP-subgroup of K but H
is not a CAP-subgroup of K.
In the chief series of K:
1 < V < P < K
H ∩ V = 1, i.e. H avoids V/1, P = HV , i.e. H covers P/V and H
trivially avoids K/P , since H ≤ P .
The partial cover and avoidance property is also an extension of the
c-normality introduced by Wang in [27]. However it is rather easy to
construct examples showing that the partial cover and avoidance property
does not imply c-normality.
Our study of the partial CAP-property tries to answer the following
question:
Let G be a group. If all members of the family ℱ of subgroups of G
are partial CAP-subgroups of G, then what is the structure of G?.
The family ℱ will be one of the following.
(1) ℱ : The meet-irreducible subgroups of G with order divisible by p.
(2) ℱ : The meet-irreducible subgroups with order a multiple of p of
each maximal subgroup of G.
(3) ℱ : The Sylow p-subgroups of G.
(4) ℱ : The maximal subgroups of the Sylow p-subgroups of G.
(5) ℱ : The 2-maximal subgroups of the Sylow p-subgroups of G.
3.1. On meet-irreducible subgroups.
The following definition play a central role in this subsection.
Definition 3.3. (D. L. Johnson. [24]) Let G be a group. A subgroup H
is said to be meet-irreducible in G if whenever H = X1 ∩ . . . ∩ Xn, for
some subgroups X1, . . . , Xn of G, then H = Xi for some i.
This is clearly equivalent to say that H is a proper subgroup of the
intersection of all subgroups of G which properly contain H.
A word on terminology: D. L. Johnson names these subgroups primi-
tive and observes that they are also called “meet-irreducible.” We prefer
this last name to avoid any confusion with the classical primitive groups.

.22 On the cover-avoidance property
The following result gives a characterisation of the p-supersoluble
groups in terms of families of meet-irreducible subgroups whose order
is divisible by p.
Theorem 3.4. ([3, Theorem 3.10]) Let G be a group and p a prime
dividing the order of G. The following conditions are pairwise equivalent:
(1) G is a p-supersoluble group.
(2) Every meet-irreducible subgroup of G with order divisible by p is a
partial CAP-subgroup of G.
(3) Every meet-irreducible subgroup with order a multiple of p of each
maximal subgroup of G is a partial CAP-subgroup of G.
3.2. On Sylow p-subgroups and its maximal subgroups.
Next we fix a prime p and analyse the structure of a group in which the
members of the families (3), (4) and (5) above are partial CAP-subgroups.
Y. Fan,X. Guo and K. P. Shum proved in [11] the following facts:
∙ The p-solubility of a group can be characterised by the partial CAP-
property of the Sylow p-subgroups.
∙ The supersolubility of a group is characterised by the partial CAP-
property of the maximal subgroups of the Sylow subgroup of the
group.
The method we used here is a local one. This means that it is gener-
alised in a form referring to a prime. The reason for choosing this local
method is to discover new situations. Roughly speaking, the global hy-
pothesis, referring to all primes, force the solubility and some non-soluble
cases do not appear. This also leads us to the interesting question of how
the global properties can be obtained as the conjunction of the local ones
for all primes.
Theorem 3.5. ([3, Theorem 3.2]) Let p be a prime dividing the order of
a group G. Then, all maximal subgroups of every Sylow p-subgroup of G
are partial CAP-subgroups of G if and only if
(1) either G is a group whose Sylow p-subgroups are cyclic groups of
order p
(2) or G is a p-supersoluble group.

Corollary 3.6. ([11]) Suppose that all maximal subgroups of every Sylow
subgroup of a group G are partial CAP-subgroups of G. Then G is a
supersoluble group.
Theorem 3.7. ([3, Corollary 3.7]) Let G be a finite group and p a prime
dividing the order of G. If every maximal subgroup of every Sylow p-
subgroup of F ∗
p (G) is a partial CAP-subgroup of G, then either
(1) G is a p-supersoluble group, or
(2) F ∗
p (G)/Op′(G) is isomorphic to a non-abelian simple group whose
Sylow p-subgroups are cyclic groups of order p.
Here, F ∗
p (G) denotes the characteristic subgroup
F∗
p(G) =
∩
{HCG(H/K) : H/K is a chief factor of G
and p divides ∣H/K∣}.
3.3. The next aim
Our next aim is the characterisation of the class of all groups G enjoying
the following local property:
(†) Every 2-maximal subgroup of every Sylow p-subgroup of G
is a partial CAP-subgroup of G.
Definition 3.8. Given a group G, a subgroup K of G is called a second
maximal subgroup, or 2-maximal subgroup, if there exists a maximal
subgroup M of G such that K ≤ M and K is maximal in M .
If G is a p-group (p a prime) of order pn, then the 2-maximal sub-
groups of G are all subgroups of order pn−2.
The idea of obtaining information on the structure of a group in which
some 2-maximal subgroups are embedded in some particular way has
produced many results. Let us emumerate some of them.
(1) B. Huppert [21] prove the following:
If every 2-maximal subgroup of a group G is normal in G, then G is
supersoluble, and if moreover the order of G is divisible by at least
three distinct primes, then G is nilpotent.
(2) A. Mann [25] obtained information on the structure of all groups
whose 2-maximal subgroups are subnormal.

.24 On the cover-avoidance property
(3) R. K. Agrawal [1] obtained Huppert’s result under hypothesis of
permutability.
(4) Li Shirong [26] obtained the structure of all groups whose 2-maximal
subgroups are TI-subgroups. (H is a TI-subgroup of G, if for every
g ∈ G, we have H ∩Hg = 1.)
(5) Guo, Shum and Skiba [16] analysed some conditions of supersolubil-
ity and nilpotency of groups by means of the X-semiper-mutability
of either 2-maximal subgroups or maximal subgroups.
In our study we must have some important facts in mind.
∙ The trivial case: If the Sylow p-subgroups have order p2, then the
family of all 2-maximal subgroups of the Sylow p-subgroups is com-
posed of just the trivial subgroup. Trivially these groups verify
property (†). Hence, what we will call “the trivial case” will be the
characterisation of all groups whose Sylow p-subgroups have order
p2.
∙ By the Brauer-Suzuki Theorem, if the Sylow 2-subgroups of a group
G are isomorphic to Q8, then Z(G/O2′(G)) has even order. Hence
every group whose Sylow 2-subgroups are isomorphic to Q8 has
property (†). We shall include these groups in our characterisation.
∙ The p-soluble case: The class of all p-supersoluble groups is com-
posed of groups with property (†). Thus, our interest will be to
characterise all p-soluble groups with property (†) which are not
p-supersoluble. This is the most complicated part of the question.
The trivial case.
Theorem 3.9. ([5]) Let G be a group with Sylow p-subgroups of order
p2. Let us denote G = G/Op′(G) S = Soc(G) F = Op′(G). Then we
have one of the following.
(1) Either S is the direct product of two distinct minimal normal sub-
groups of G, say N1 and N2.
In this case, F = S and N1 and N2 are simple groups with cyclic
Sylow p-subgroups of order p.
(2) Or S is a chief factor of G.
In this case we have one of the following.

(a) S ∼= Cp; in this case G is p-supersoluble and F ∼= Cp2 .
(b) G is a primitive group of type 1; in this case G is p-soluble
and F = S ∼= Cp × Cp.
(c) G is a primitive group of type 2 and F = S; in this case,
∙ either S ∼= T × T , T non-abelian simple with Sylow p-
subgroups of order p,
∙ or S non-abelian simple with Sylow p-subgroups of order
p2.
(d) G is a primitive group of type 2 and S < F : G is almost-simple
∙ S is non-abelian simple with Sylow p-subgroups of order p
and
∙ G/S is soluble with Sylow p-subgroups of order p.
The most difficult case to deal to rule out is when Soc(G) = F(G) is
a cyclic group of order p and F∗(G)/F(G) a chief factor of G isomorphic
to a non-abelian simple group with Sylow p-subgroups of order p.
The p-soluble case.
Theorem 3.10. ([5]) Let G be a p-soluble group. Then, G has property
(†) if and only if one of the following holds.
(1) G is p-supersoluble.
(2) G is a group such that if P is a Sylow p-subgroup of G and Q is a
2-maximal subgroup of P , then
Φ(G/Op′(G)) ≤ QOp′(G)/Op′(G);
∙ if Φ(G/Op′(G)) = QOp′(G)/Op′(G), then every chief series
of the group G has exactly one complemented p-chief factor;
moreover, this p-chief factor has order p2;
∙ if Φ(G/Op′(G)) < QOp′(G)/Op′(G), then all complemented
p-chief factors of G are G-isomorphic to a 2-dimensional ir-
reducible G-module V which is not an absolutely irreducible
G-module.
Why does it appear the absolutely irreducible module?
In a minimal counterexample, we have Op′(G) = Φ(G) = 1 and F(G)
is the Sylow p-subgroup of G. In other words, we have to analyse F(G).
Now F(G) is a homogeneous G-module over GF(p) and if V is an irre-
ducible submodule of F(G) and V is absolutely irreducible, then number

.26 On the cover-avoidance property
of irreducible submodules, or, equivalently the number of minimal nor-
mal subgroups of G is quite short and we do not have enough chief series
to fulfill the condition by which every 2-maximal subgroup of F(G) is a
partial CAP-subgroup of G.
The Theorem.
We bring the article to a close with the characterisation of groups enjoying
property (†).
Theorem 3.11. ([5]) Let G be a group and P ∈ Sylp(G). Assume that
p2 divides ∣G∣. Then G has property (†) if and only if G satisfies one of
the following conditions:
(1) G is p-supersoluble;
(2) G is p-soluble and if Q is 2-maximal in P , then
Φ(G/Op′(G)) ≤ QOp′(G)/Op′(G);
∙ if Φ(G/Op′(G)) = QOp′(G)/Op′(G), then every chief series
of the group G has exactly one complemented p-chief factor;
moreover, this p-chief factor has order p2;
∙ if Φ(G/Op′(G)) < QOp′(G)/Op′(G), then all complemented
p-chief factors of G are G-isomorphic to a 2-dimensional ir-
reducible G-module V which is not an absolutely irreducible
G-module.
(3) G is non p-soluble and ∣P ∣ = p2;
(4) p = 2 and G is non 2-soluble, and P is isomorphic to Q8.
