Abstract. Let FC0 be the class of all finite groups, and
for each non-negative integer m define by induction the group
class FCm+1 consisting of all groups G such that the factor group
G/CG(x
G) has the property FCm for all elements x of G. Clearly,
FC1 is the class of FC-groups and every nilpotent group with class
at most m belongs to FCm. The class of FCm-groups was intro-
duced in [6]. In this article the structure of groups with finitely
many normalizers of non-FCm-subgroups (respectively, the struc-
ture of groups whose subgroups either are subnormal with bounded
defect or have the property FCm) is investigated.
Introduction
The structure of groups for which the set of non-normal subgroups (or
more generally of non-subnormal subgroups) has prescribed properties
has been investigated by several authors. The first step was of course
the description of groups in which all subgroups are normal (Dedekind
groups). It is well known that Dedekind groups either are abelian or can
be decomposed as a direct product of Q8 (the quaternion group of order 8)
and a periodic abelian group with no elements of order 4. G. M. Romalis
and N. S. Sesekin ([14], [15], [16]) considered locally soluble groups whose
non-normal subgroups are abelian (metahamiltonian groups), proving in
particular that commutator subgroup of these groups is finite. Moreover,
S. N. Chernikov [2] studied the groups whose non-normal subgroups are

finite, while recently L. A. Kurdachenko, J. Otal and the authors [7] have
described (generalized) soluble groups whose non-normal subgroups are
FC-groups. They prove, among other results, that such groups are locally
(central-by-finite). Finally, B. Bruno and R. E. Phillips [1] are concerned
with (generalized) soluble groups whose non-normal subgroups are locally
nilpotent, showing in particular that the groups of this class have finite
commutator subgroup if they are not locally nilpotent. In a famous paper
of 1955, B. H. Neumann [10] proved that each subgroup of a group G has
finitely many conjugates if and only if the factor group G/Z(G) is finite,
and the same conclusion holds if the restriction is imposed only to abelian
subgroups (see [3]). Therefore central-by-finite groups are precisely those
groups in which all the normalizers of (abelian) subgroups have finite
index, and this result suggests that the behaviour of normalizers has a
strong influence on the structure of the group. In this context, it is in-
teresting to recall a result of Y. D. Polovickĭi [12] stating that a group
G has finitely many normalizers of abelian subgroups if and only if it is
central-by-finite. These considerations show that it is natural to investi-
gate the structure of groups with finitely many normalizers of subgroups
with a given property. For instance, F. De Mari and F. de Giovanni re-
cently have studied the classes of groups with finitely many normalizers of
non-abelian (respectively, of non-(locally nilpotent)) subgroups (see [4],
[5]) improving the quoted result of Romalis and Sesekin (respectively, of
Bruno and Phillips).
The next step to combine the above ideas seems to be the considera-
tion of classes of groups which are a good extension both of the nilpotency
and of the property FC. To this purpose we will concerned with the class
of FCm-groups introduced in [6]. Recall that FC0 is the class of all fi-
nite groups, and for each non-negative integer m define by induction the
group class FCm+1 consisting of all groups G such that for every element
x ∈ G the factor group G/CG(x
G) has the property FCm. Clearly, the
FC1-groups are precisely the FC-groups while the class FCm contains
all finite groups and all nilpotent groups with class at most m. The aim
of this article is to investigate the structure of the classes of (generalized)
soluble groups which either have finitely many normalizers of non-FCm-
subgroups or have the non-subnormal subgroups with bounded defect
satisfying the property FCm.
Most of our notation is standard and can for instance be found in [9]
and [13].
1. Statementes and proofs
We will prove many of our results within the universe of W -groups. Recall
that a group G is said to be a W -group if every finitely generated non-

nilpotent subgroup of G has a finite, non-nilpotent, homomorphic image.
It is well known that all hyper-(abelian or finite) groups and all linear
groups have the property W (see [13], theorem 10.51 and [17]). Let
k and m be non-negative integers. In what follows we denote by Xm
and Xk,m respectively, the class of groups with finitely many normalizers
of non-FCm-groups and the class of groups whose subgroups either are
subnormal with defect at most k or satisfy the property FCm.
Proposition 1. Let G be a W -group whose non-subnormal subgroups
are FCm-groups for some non-negative integer m. Then every finitely
generated subgroup of G is polycyclic-by-finite.
Proof. Clearly we may suppose that G is a finitely generated non-nilpo-
tent group. It follows that there exists a non-subnormal subgroup H of
G with finite index, so that the core HG of H in G is a finitely generated
FCm-group. Therefore the factor group HG/Zm(HG) is finite (see [6],
proposition 3.6), and hence G contains a subgroup of finite index which
is nilpotent with class at most m.
In order to prove the corresponding result for the class Xm we need
a lemma which has a formulation and proof similar to those obtained
for other classes of groups with finitely many normalizer of subgroups of
certain types (see for instance [4], [5], [8]).
Lemma 1. Let G be an Xm-group. Then G contains a characteristic
X2,m-subgroup of finite index.
Proof. Let H be a subgroup of G which has not the property FCm.
Clearly its normalizer NG(H) has finitely many conjugates in G, and
hence the index ∣G : NG(NG(H))∣ is finite. It follows that the characteri-
stic subgroup
M(H) =
∩
�∈AutG
NG(NG(H))�
has finite index. Let L be the set of all non-FCm-subgroups of G. If
H and K are elements of L such that NG(H) = NG(K), then M(H) =
M(K). Thus also
M =
∩
H∈L
M(H)
is a characteristic subgroup of finite index of G. Now let H be any element
of L contained in M . Then M ≤ M(H) ≤ NG(NG(H)), and hence H is
subnormal in M with defect at most 2.
Proposition 2. Let G be a W -group satisfying the property Xm. Then
every finitely generated subgroup of G is polycyclic-by-finite.

Proof. The statement immediately follows from Proposition 1 and Lem-
ma 1.
Our next results are turned to prove that the W -groups in the classes
Xm and Xk,m have the torsion subgroup. To this end we need to inves-
tigate the behaviour of the finitely generated torsion-free abelian normal
subgroups of these groups. We begin with an easy result.
Lemma 2. Let A be a torsion-free abelian group, and let g be a non-
trivial automorphism of G. If g has finite order, then the semidirect
product G = ⟨g⟩⋉A is not nilpotent.
Proof. Assume, for a contradiction that G is nilpotent. Let giā be an
element of Z(G) ∖A, where ā ∈ A and ∣g∣ does not divide i. As (giā)a =
a(giā) for each a ∈ A, then gi ∈ Z(G), a contradiction because the
centralizer C⟨g⟩(A) is trivial. Therefore Z(G) ≤ A, and MacLain theorem
yields that G is torsion-free.
Lemma 3. Let G be is any Xk,m-group (any Xm-group, respectively),
and let A be a finitely generated torsion-free abelian normal subgroup of
G. If g is an element of finite order of G, then [A, g] = {1}.
Proof. Assume, for a contradiction that [A, g] ∕= {1}. Clearly, there exists
a prime number p such that Yn = ⟨g⟩Apn is not abelian for all positive
integers n. If Yn is an FCm-group, then
m+1(Yn) is periodic (see [6],
corollary 3.3) and hence Yn is nilpotent since A is torsion-free. Therefore,
also the factor group Yn/C⟨g⟩(A
pn) is nilpotent, a contradiction by the
Lemma 2. Thus Yn is not an FCm-group for all n.
First suppose that G is an Xk,m-group. Then Yn is subnormal in G
with defect at most k for all positive integers n, whence so is the subgroup
⟨g⟩ =
∩
n∈N
Yn.
It follows by Fitting’s theorem that Yn is nilpotent, and we reach a con-
tradiction using the argument above. Finally, let G be an Xm-group, and
assume that G is a counterexample with a minimal number t of proper
normalizers of subgroups which are not FCm-groups. Clearly, we may
suppose that t ≥ 1. Then every subgroup Yn is normal in G, since oth-
erwise its normalizer would be a counterexample with less than t proper
normalizers of non-FCm-subgroups. It follows that also the subgroup ⟨g⟩
is normal in G. Thus [A, g] ≤ A ∩ ⟨g⟩ = {1}, and this last contradiction
completes the proof of the lemma.

.162 Groups with many generalized FC-subgroups
Theorem 1. Let G be a W -group satisfying the property Xk,m (the prop-
erty Xm, respectively). Then the elements of finite order of G form a
(fully-invariant) subgroup of G.
Proof. Let x and y be elements of finite orders of G. Clearly, we may
assume that G = ⟨x, y⟩, and by Proposition 1 (by Proposition 2, respec-
tively) G is polycyclic-by-finite. Moreover, as the largest periodic normal
subgroup T of G is finite, replacing G by the factor group G/T , it can
also be assumed without loss of generality that G has no periodic non-
trivial normal subgroups. Let S be a soluble normal subgroup of G such
that G/S is finite. For a contradiction, let G be infinite, and choose the
soluble subgroup S with minimal derived length. If A is the smallest
non-trivial term of the derived series of S, then A is torsion-free, so that
by Lemma 3 A is contained in the centre Z(G) of G. On the other hand,
by the minimal choice of G, the factor group G/A is finite, and hence G′
is likewise finite by Schur’s theorem. It follows that also G is finite, and
this contradiction proves the statement.
Recall that if H is a subgroup of a group G, the series of normal
closures of H in G is defined inductively by the positions HG,0 = G and
HG,k+1 = HHG,k
for each non-negative integer k. Thus H is subnormal
in G with defect k if and only if HG,k = H and k is the smallest non-
negative integer with this property.
Corollary 1. Let G be a W -group satisfying the property Xk,m. Then
the subgroup
f(k+m+1)+1(G) is periodic, where f is the function of Rose-
blade’s theorem.
Proof. By Theorem 1 we can assume that G is torsion-free. It follows
that every subgroup of G either is subnormal with defect at most k or
is nilpotent with class at most m (see [6], corollary 3.4), and hence G is
locally nilpotent (see [11], theorem A). Suppose that G is finitely gener-
ated, and let X be a subgroup of G which is not subnormal with defect at
most k. Then X < XG,k. Clearly, if M is a maximal subgroup of XG,k
containing X, then M is nilpotent with class at most m, and hence X is
subnormal in M with defect at most m. On the other hand, M ⊲ XG,k,
so that X is subnormal in G with defect at most m + k + 1. Therefore
the statement follows from the Roseblade’s theorem.
Let H be a subgroup of a group G. Denote by IG(H) the isolator of H
in G, i.e., the set of all x ∈ G such that xm ∈ H for some positive integer
m. In general, IG(H) need not be a subgroup, as is shown by the isolator
of the identity subgroup in D∞, the infinite dihedral group. On the other
hand, if G is locally nilpotent, then the isolator of every subgroup of G is
likewise a subgroup. Actually locally nilpotent groups have a rich isolator

theory. For details we refer to [9], Section 2.3. In particular, in what
follows we will use the statement which ensures that if H is a subgroup of
a torsion-free, locally nilpotent group G, then Zm(H) = Zm(IG(H))∩H
for all non-negative integers m.
Corollary 2. Let G be a W -group satisfying the property Xm. Then the
subgroup
m+1(G) is periodic.
Proof. By Theorem 1 we can assume that G is torsion-free, and hence by
corollary 3.4 of [6] it has finitely many normalizers of subgroups which
are not nilpotent with class at most m. It follows that G is locally
nilpotent (see [5], theorem A), and we may also suppose that G is finitely
generated. Now we argue by induction on the number of proper norma-
lizers of subgroups with class greater that m, and so we may reduce to the
case that all non-normal subgroups of G have class at most m. Suppose
that G does not contain a subgroup of finite index with class at most m.
Let L be the set of all subgroups of finite index of G. Then each element
K of L is normal in G and G/K is a Dedekind group. It follows that
3(G) ≤
∩
K∈L
K = {1}.
Thus G is metahamiltonian and so even abelian, a contradiction. Now
let H be a normal subgroup of G with class at most m such that the
factor group G/H is finite. Clearly, the isolator IG(H) of H in G is equal
to G. It follows by the quoted remark that H ≤ Zm(G), and hence G is
nilpotent with class at most m as required.
Corollary 3. Let G be a W -group satisfying the property Xm. If H is a
finitely generated subgroup of G, then the factor group H/Zm(H) is finite.
Proof. By Proposition 2 and Corollary 2 the subgroup
m+1(H) is finite,
whence so is H/Zm(H).
Note that it is easy to find X1,1-groups with an infinite commutator
subgroup which are not FC-groups. For, let p be a prime number, and
let P be a group of type p∞. Consider the automorphism x of P × P
defined by the rule x(a1, a2) = (a1a2, a2) for every (a1, a2) ∈ P×P . Then
the semidirect product
G = ⟨x⟩⋉ (P × P )
is a non-periodic group whose commutator subgroup is G′ = Z(G) ≃
P . Therefore, each non-normal subgroup of G has finite commutator
subgroup. Moreover, G is not an FC-group since G/Z(G) is not periodic.

.164 Groups with many generalized FC-subgroups
In [7], lemma 2.7, it has been proved that an X1,1-group has countable
commutator subgroup if it is not an FC-group. Our last result extends
this statement to the class Xm. For this purpose we need two lemmas
concerning the FCm-groups.
Lemma 4. Let G be an FCm-group. Then every non-trivial normal
subgroup N of G contains a non-trivial FC-element of G.
Proof. Clearly, we may suppose m ≥ 2 and [N,G] ∕= {1}. Denote by
F the FC-centre of G. By theorem 3.2 of [6] the subgroup
m(G) is
contained in F so that [N,m−1G] ≤ N ∩F . It follows that there exists a
positive integer n ≤ m− 1 such that {1} ∕= [N,nG] ≤ N ∩ F .
Recall that a group class X is said to be countably recognizable if a
group G belongs to X provided that all its countable subgroups are X-
groups. In what follows we denote by FCm(G) the subgroup of a group
G consisting of all elements x such that G/CG(⟨x
G⟩) is an FCm−1-group.
In particular, FC1(G) is the FC-centre of G.
Lemma 5. Let G be a group, and let H be a countable subgroup of G.
If every countable subgroup of G containing H is an FCm-group, then
H ≤ FCm(G). In particular, the class FCm is countably recognizable for
all non-negative integers m.
Proof. Put N = FCm(G)∩HG, and let K/N be any countable subgroup
of G/N containing HN/N . Then K = LN , where L is a countable sub-
group of G, and H is contained in the countable FCm-subgroup ⟨H,L⟩.
It follows that K/N ≤ ⟨H,L⟩N/N , and hence K/N is an FCm-group.
Therefore the hypotheses are inherited by the group G/N and its count-
able subgroup HN/N . Assume for a contradiction that the statement is
false, so that H is not contained in N . Replacing G by G/N it can be
assumed without loss of generality that the normal closure HG contains
no non-trivial elements having finitely many conjugates in G. Write
H = {ℎn ∣ n ∈ N0}
where ℎ0 = 1, and put X0 = {1}. Now suppose that for some non-
negative integer n a countable subgroup Xn of G has been defined con-
taining the elements ℎ0, . . . , ℎn. Clearly there exists a countable sub-
set Wn of G such that every non-trivial element of HG∩Xn has infinitely
many conjugates under the action of Wn. Consider the countable sub-
group Xn+1 = ⟨Xn, ℎn+1,Wn⟩, and put
X =
∪
n∈N0
Xn.

Thus X is a countable subgroup of G containing H, and hence X is
an FCm-group. It follows from Lemma 4 that there exists a non-trivial
element u of HX ∩FC1(X). If m is a positive integer such that u ∈ Xm,
then u has infinitely many conjugates under the action of Xm+1, and this
last contradiction proves the lemma.
Theorem 2. Let G be an Xm-group. If G is not an FCm-group, then
the commutator subgroup G′ of G is countable.
Proof. Let NG(X1), . . . , NG(Xt) be the proper normalizers of non-FCm-
subgroups of G. First assume that the set NG(X1) ∪ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ∪ NG(Xt) is
properly contained in G. Let x be an element of
G ∖ (NG(X1) ∪ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ∪NG(Xt)).
Then each subgroup of G containing x either is normal or an FCm-
group. Since G does not satisfy the property FCm, by Lemma 5 G
contains a countable subgroup H which is not an FCm-group. Therefore
the subgroup ⟨H,x⟩ is normal in G and G/⟨H,x⟩ is a Dedekind group.
Thus ∣G′⟨H,x⟩/⟨H,x⟩∣ ≤ 2, and hence G′ is countable.
Now suppose that
G = NG(X1) ∪ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ∪NG(Xt).
It follows from a result of B. H. Neumann that it is possible to omit from
the above union any subgroup of infinite index (see [13], lemma 4.17),
and hence we can write
G = NG(Xi1) ∪ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ∪NG(Xis),
where the index ∣G : NG(Xij )∣ is finite for all j = 1, . . . , s. Clearly, e-
very NG(Xij ) has less than t proper normalizers of non-FCm-subgroups,
so that arguing by induction (on t), we may assume that NG(Xij )
′ is
countable. On the other hand, as the index ∣G : NG(NG(Xij )
′)∣ is fi-
nite, then (NG(Xij )
′)G is countable, whence so is the subgroup N =
⟨NG(Xi1)
′, . . . , NG(Xis)
′⟩G. Moreover, the factor group G/N has a finite
covering consisting of abelian subgroups, and hence it is central-by-finite
(see [13], theorem 4.16). It follows from Schur’s theorem that G′N/N is
finite whence G′ is countable also in this case.
