(2006). pp. 1 – 11 c© Journal “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics” On minimal ω-composition non-H-formations Liudmila I. Belous, Vadim M. Sel’kin Communicated by L. A. Shemetkov Abstract. Let H be some class of groups. A formation F is called a minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formation [1] if F * H but F1 ⊆ H for all proper τ -closed ω-composition subfor- mations F1 of F. In this paper we describe the minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formations, where H is a 2-multiply local for- mation and τ is a subgroup functor such that for any group G all subgroups from τ(G) are subnormal in G. Introduction Throughout this paper all groups considered are finite. A non-empty set of formations Θ is called a full lattice of formations [2] if the intersection of any set of formations from Θ again belongs to Θ and in Θ there is a formation F such that H ⊆ F for all H ∈ Θ. Formations belonging to Θ are called Θ-formations. Let H be some class of groups. Recall that a Θ-formation F is called a minimal non-H-Θ-formation (L.A. Shemetkov [1]) or HΘ-critical formation (A.N. Skiba [3]) if F * H but F1 ⊆ H for all proper Θ-subformations F1 of F. The minimal non-H-Θ-formations, where Θ is the set of all saturated formations have been described in work [4]. This result have been applied in research of local formations with given subformations (see for more in details Chapter 4 in [5]). In the book [2] analogue of this result in the class of τ -closed saturated formations have been obtained. In the work [6] the minimal ω-saturated non-H-formations, where H is a 2-multiply local formation have been described. In [7] the minimal ω-saturated 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20D20. Key words and phrases: formation, τ -closed ω-composition, satellite. Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .2 On minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formations non-H-formations, where H is an any formation of classical type have been described. In the work [9] the structure of the minimal non-H-Θ- formations, where Θ is a class of all ω-composition formations has been described. In this paper we describe the minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H- formations, where H is a 2-multiply local formation and τ is a subgroup functor such that for any group G all subgroups from τ(G) are subnormal in G. 1. Preliminaries We use standard terminology [10], [11]. In addition we shall need some definitions and notations from the work of L.A.Shemetkov and A.N. Skiba [8] and the concept of subgroup functor given by A.N.Skiba [2]. Let L be an arbitrary non-empty class of abelian simple groups and ω = π(L). Every function f : ω ⋃ {ω′} −→ {formations of groups} is called an ω-composition satellite. We use Cp(G) to denote the intersection of all centralizers of abelian chief p-factors of the group G (we write Cp(G) = G if G has no such chief factors). Let R(G) denote the radical of G (i.e. R(G) is the largest normal soluble subgroup of G). Let X be a set of groups. We use Com(X) to denote the class of all abelian simple groups A such that A ≃ H/K for some composition factor H/K of some group G ∈ X. Also, we write Com(G) for the set Com({G}). For an arbitrary ω-composition satellite f we put following [8] CFω(f) = {G | G/(R(G) ∩ Oω(G)) ∈ f(ω′) and G/Cp(G) ∈ f(p) for all p ∈ π(Com(G)) ∩ ω}. If the formation F is such that F = CFω(f) for some ω-composition satellite f , then we say that F is an ω-composition formation and f is an ω-composition satellite of that formation [8]. A ω-composition satellite f of a ω-composition formation F is called an inner ω-composition satellite of F if f(a) ⊆ F for all a ∈ ω ∪ {ω′}. Recall that a Skiba subgroup functor τ [2] associates with every group G a system of its subgroups τ(G) such that the following conditions hold: 1) G ∈ τ(G) for any group G; 2) for any epimorphism ϕ : A −→ B and for any groups H ∈ τ(A) and T ∈ τ(B) we have Hϕ ∈ τ(B) and Tϕ−1 ∈ τ(A). Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .L. I. Belous, V. M. Sel’kin 3 We write τ1 ≤ τ2 if and only if τ1(G) ⊆ τ2(G). If for all groups H and G, where H ∈ τ(G) we have τ(H) ⊆ τ(G), then they say that τ is a closed subgroup functor. Let τ be the intersection of all closed functors τi such that τ ≤ τi. The functor τ is called the closure of τ . In this paper we consider the only subgroup functors τ such that for any group G the set τ(G) consists of some subnormal subgroups of G. A formation F is called τ -closed if τ(G) ⊆ F for any group G ∈ F. A satellite f is called τ -valued if all values of f are τ -closed formations. We denote by cτ ωform(X) the intersection of all τ -closed ω-compo- sition formations containing the set of groups X. Then cτ ωform(X) is called the τ -closed ω-composition formation generated by X. If X = {G} for some group G, then instead of cτ ωform(G) we write cτ ωformG. Formations of this kind are called one-generated τ -closed ω-composition formations. Let {fi | i ∈ I} be the set of ω-composition satellites. Then ⋂ i∈I fi is a satellite such that ( ⋂ i∈I fi)(a) = ⋂ i∈I fi(a) for all a ∈ ω ∪ {ω′}. Now let {fi | i ∈ I} be the set of all ω-composition τ -valued satellites of the formation F. By Lemma 2 [8], f = ⋂ i∈I fi is a ω-composition satellites of F. The satellite f is called the minimal ω-composition τ - valued satellite of F. Let f be the minimal ω-composition τ -valued satellite of F. And let F be a satellite such that F (a) = { Npf(p), if a = p ∈ ω; F, if a = ω′. Then F is a ω-composition satellite of the formation F [8] and it is called the canonical ω-composition satellite of F. Let f and h be two ω-composition satellites of the formation F. Then we write f ≤ h if for all a ∈ ω ∪ {ω′} we have f(a) ⊆ h(a). Lemma 1.1. [8, 1]. Let G be a group, p be a prime. Assume that N E G and that for every composition factor H/K of the subgroup N we have p 6= |H/K|. Then Cp(G/N) = Cp(G)/N . Lemma 1.2. [12, 2]. Let p be a prime, Op(G) = 1 and T = Zp ≀ G = [K]G, where K is the base group of T . Then K = Cp(T ). Lemma 1.3. [8, 4]. Let F = CFω(f) and p ∈ ω. If G/Op(G) ∈ F∩f(p), then G ∈ F. Lemma 1.4. [8, 5]. Let F be an arbitrary non-empty set of groups and X ⊆ H, where H is a τ -closed formation. Let F = cτ ωfrom(X) and π = Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .4 On minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formations π(Com(X)). Then F has the minimal τ -valued ω-composition satellite f and f has the following values: (1) f(ω′) = τ form(G/(Oω(G) ∩ R(G))|G ∈ X). (2) f(p) = τ form(G/Cp(G)|G ∈ X), for all p ∈ π ∩ ω. (3) f(p) = ∅, for all p ∈ ω \ π. (4) If F = CFω(h) and h be the τ -valued satellite, then f(p) = τ form(A | A ∈ h(p) ∩ F, Op(A) = 1) for all p ∈ π ∩ ω and f(ω′) = τ form(A | A ∈ h(ω′) ∩ F and R(A) ∩ Oω(A) = 1). Lemma 1.5. [8, 6]. Let fi be the minimal ω-composition satellite of the formation Fi, i = 1, 2. Then F1 ⊆ F2 if and only if f1 ≤ f2. Lemma 1.6. [2, 2.1.5]. Let A be a monolithic group and R * Φ(A) is the socle of G. Then the formation F = τformA is a τ -irreducible and M = τform(X∪{A/R}) is the unique maximal τ -closed subformation of F, where X is the set of all proper τ -subgroups of A. 2. Main results A formation F is called a 2-multiply local if it has a local satellite f such that all non-empty values of f are local formations. Theorem 2.1. Let f be the minimal τ -valued ω-composition satellite of the formation F and let H be the canonical ω-composition satellite of a 2-multiply local formation H. A formation F is a minimal τ -closed ω- composition non-H-formation if and only if F = cτ ωformG where G is a monolithic τ -minimal non-H-group and R = GH = Soc(G) is the socle of G, where R * Φ(G) and either π = π(Com(R)) ∩ ω = ∅ or π 6= ∅ and G satisfies one of the following conditions: 1) G = R is a group of prime order p /∈ π(H); 2) G = [R]M , where R = Op(G) = Fp(G) for same p ∈ π and M is a monolithic τ -minimal non-H(p)-group and Q = MH(p) = Soc(M) is the socle of M , where p 6∈ π(Com(Q)) and Q * Φ(M). Proof. Necessity. Let G be a group of minimal order in F\H. Then G is a monolithic τ -minimal non-H-group and R = GH 6= 1 is the socle of G. Let F 6= cτ ωformG. Then cτ ωformG ⊆ H and so G ∈ H. This contradiction shows that F = cτ ωformG. Since by hypothesis H is a local formation, then by Theorem 4.3 [11], H is a saturated formation and so R * Φ(G). Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .L. I. Belous, V. M. Sel’kin 5 Let π = π(Com(R)) ∩ ω = ∅. In this case the condition of the theorem is carried out. Let’s consider the case π 6= ∅ and p ∈ π. Assume that G = CG(R). Let R 6= G. Assume that H(p) = ∅. Consequently p /∈ π(H) and so Zp /∈ H. Then Np * H. Consequently Np = F and G is a p-group. So G/R ∈ H and G/R is a p-group. If G/R 6= 1, then p ∈ π(H). This contradiction shows that G = R = Zp and F 6= cτ ωformG = Np. Thus G satisfies Condition 1). Assume that H(p) 6= ∅ and so 1 = G/CG(R) ∈ H(p). Hence G ∈ H. A contradiction. Let G 6= CG(R), where R is an abelian p-group. Let’s consider the group T = [R]M , where M = G/CG(R). Let C = CG(R). Then C = C ∩ RM = R(C ∩ M). Evidently that (C ∩ M) is a normal sub- group of G. But G is a monolithic group, then C ∩ M = 1 and so R = CG(R) = Op(G) = Fp(G). It is not difficult to see that R = Cp(G) and Op(G/Cp(G)) = Op(G/Op(G)) = Op(M) = 1 and so by Lemma 1.2, Cp(T ) = R. Consequently by Lemma 1.3, sT ∈ F. Evidently that |T | ≤ |G|. Now we suppose that |T | < |G|. Then T ∈ H and so T/Cp(T ) ≃ T/R ≃ M ≃ G/CG(R) ≃ G/R ∈ H(p). But G/Op(G) ⋍ G/R ∈ H and so G ∈ H by Lemma 1.3. This contra- diction shows that T 6∈ H. Consequently T ∈ F\H. Thus in view of the choice of G we have |T | = |G| and F = cτ ωformT . It is clear that R = TH. By Lemma 1.4, f(p) = τform(T/Cp(T )) = τform(T/R) = τform(G/CG(R)) = τform(G/R) = τformM. Let M ∈ H(p). Consequently G ∈ NpH(p) = H(p). A contradiction. Hence M /∈ H(p) and so τformM * H(p). Let M be a proper τ -closed subformation of f(p). Assume that M * H(p) and A be a group of minimal order in M\H(p). Since H(p) = NpH(p), then Op(A) = 1. By Lemma 18.8 [5], exists a simple and faithful Fp[A]-module P over Fp. Let F = [P ]A. Then P = CF (P ) = Op(F ) = Cp(F ) and so F/Op(F ) ≃ F/P ≃ A ∈ M ⊂ f(p) ⊆ f(p) ∩ F. By Lemma 1.3, F ∈ F. Hence cτ ωformF ⊆ F. If cτ ωformF = F, then by Lemma 1.4, f(p) = τform(F/Cp(F )) = τform(F/P ) = τform(A) ⊆ M ⊂ f(p). Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .6 On minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formations This contradiction shows that cτ ωformF ⊂ F. Then cτ ωformF ⊆ H and so F ∈ H. Hence F/Cp(F ) ≃ A ∈ H(p). A contradiction. Hence M ⊆ H(p). Thus f(p) is a minimal τ -closed non-H(p)-formation. Let M1 be a group of minimal order in τformM\H(p). Then M1 is a monolithic τ -minimal non-H(p)-group with the socle Q = M H(p) 1 and τformM = τformM1. Assume that Q ⊆ Φ(M1). Let t be the minimal 1-multiply local satellite of H. By Theorem 8.3 [5], t is an inner satellite of H. Therefore t(p) ⊆ H(p). Applying Theorem 8.3 [5] again and Consequence 8.6 [5] we see that H(p) = Npt(p) is a local formation, as it is the product of two local formations Np and t(p) (see Consequence 7.14 [5]). By Theorem 4.3 [11], H is a saturated formation. Since M1/Q ∈ H(p), then M1/Φ(M1) ∈ H(p). Consequently M1 ∈ H(p). This contradiction shows that Q * Φ(M1). Assume that p ∈ π(Com(Q)). Since M1/Q ∈ H(p), then M1 ∈ NpH(p) = H(p). This contradiction shows that Q is not a p-group. Hence Op(M1) = 1. Thus there exists a simple and faithful Fp[M1]- module R1 over Fp. Let G1 = [R1]M1. Hence R1 = CG1 (R1) = Op(G1) = Cp(G1) = Fp(G1) is a minimal normal p-subgroup of G1 and so G1/Op(G1) ≃ G1/R1 ≃ M1 ∈ τformM = f(p) ⊆ f(p) ∩ F. By Lemma 1.3, G1 ∈ F. Let H1 = cτ ωformG1 and h1 be the minimal τ -valued ω-composition satellite of H1. By Lemma 1.4, h1(p) = τform(G1/Cp(G1)) = τform(G1/R1) = τform(M1). If H1 ⊂ F, then H1 ⊆ H. Therefore by Lemma 1.5, h1 ≤ H, consequently, M1 ≃ G1/R1 ∈ H(p). This contradiction shows that H1 = F. Thus F = cτ ωformG1 = cτ ωformG. Now we shall show that G1 satisfies the hypothesis of the theorem. In fact we have only to prove that R1 = GH 1 . Indeed, if M1 ∈ H, then G1/R1 = G1/Cp(G1) ≃ M1 ∈ H(p). This contradiction shows that G1 /∈ H. Consequently GH 1 = R1. Let M1 /∈ H. Consequently cτ ωformM1 = F. By Lemma 1.4, f(p) = τform(M1/Cp(M1)) = τform(M1). Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .L. I. Belous, V. M. Sel’kin 7 But Q is not a p-group, so Q ⊆ Cp(M1). So τform(M1/Cp(M1)) ⊆ τform(M1/Q). Therefore τformM1 ⊆ τform(M1/Q). By Lemma 1.6, M = τform(X ∪ {M1/Q}) is the unique maximal τ -closed subformation of τformM1, where X is the set of all proper τ -subgroups of M1. Hence M ⊂ τformM1. This contradiction shows that M1 /∈ H. Therefore R1 = GH 1 . Sufficiency. Let G be a group from the theorem. It is clear that F * H. Let π = ∅. In this case Oω(G) ∩ R(G) = 1. By Lemma 1.4, f(ω′) = τform(G/(Oω ∩ R(G)) = τform(G). Since G /∈ H, then f(ω′) = τform(G) * H = H(ω′). By Lemma 1.6, τform(X ∪ {G/R}) is the unique maximal τ -closed subformation of f(ω′) = τformG, where X is the set of all proper τ - subgroups of the group G. Since by hypothesis, all proper τ -subgroups of G are contained in H, then τform(X ∪ {G/R}) ⊆ H = H(ω′). Hence all proper τ -closed subformations of f(ω′) are contained in H(ω′). So f(ω′) is a minimal τ -closed non-H(ω′)-formation. Let M be a proper τ -closed ω-composition subformation of F and m be the minimal τ -valued ω-composition satellite of M. By Lemma 1.5, m 6 f . We shall show that m 6 H. Since f(ω′) = τform(G) * m(ω′) = M, consequently m(ω′) ⊂ f(ω′). Hence m(ω′) ⊆ H(ω′). Besides, since G/R ∈ H, then G/R/Cq(G/R) ∈ H(q) for all q ∈ ω ∪ π(Com(G/R)). By Lemma 1.1, Cq(G)/R = Cq(G/R) for all q ∈ ω. Consequently G/Cq(G) ∈ H(q). Hence m(q) ⊆ f(q) = τform(G/Cq(G)) ⊆ H(q). Consequently m 6 H and so by Lemma 1.5, M ⊆ H. Thus F is a minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formation. Let π 6= ∅ and p ∈ π. If the group G satisfies Condition 1), then obviously, F is a minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formation. Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .8 On minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formations Let G satisfies Condition 2). By Lemma 1.4, f(p) = τform(G/Cp(G)) = τform(G/R) = τform(M). But M is a monolithic τ -minimal non-H(p)-group, then M /∈ H(p) and so f(p) * H(p). Let X be the set of all proper τ -subgroups of M . Therefore X ⊆ H(p). But M/Q = M/MH(p) ∈ H(p). Hence τform(X ∪ {M/Q}) ⊆ H(p). By Lemma 1.6, τform(X∪{M/Q}) is the unique maximal τ -closed sub- formation of f(p) = τform(M). Therefore all proper τ -closed subforma- tions of f(p) are contained in H(p). Consequently f(p) is a minimal τ -closed non-H(p)-formation, where p ∈ π. We shall show that in this case the formation F is a minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formation. Let M be a proper τ -closed ω-composition subformation of F and m be the minimal τ -valued ω-composition satellite of M. By Lemma 1.5, m 6 f . We shall show that m 6 H. Assume that m(p) = f(p). Then G/Cp(G) = G/R = G/Op(G) ∈ m(p). Using now Lemma 1.3 we see that G ∈ M and so F = cτ ωformG ⊆ M ⊂ F. This contradiction shows that m(p) ⊂ f(p) and so from above we know that m(p) ⊆ H(p). By Lemma 1.1, Cq(G)/R = Cq(G/R) for all prime q 6= p and (R(G)∩Oω(G))/R = R(G/R)∩Oω(G/R). And since G/R ∈ H, then f(ω′) ⊆ H(ω′) and f(q) ⊆ H(q) for all q ∈ ω\{p}. But m 6 f and hence m(p) ⊆ H(p) for all p ∈ {ω′} ∪ ω. By Lemma 1.5, m 6 H. Consequently M ⊆ H. Thus F is a minimal τ -closed ω-composition non- H-formation. Remark 1. If in Theorem 2.1 the formation H is those, that N ⊆ H, then G cannot be a group of prime order. Remark 2. If H is a τ -closed formation, then every minimal non-H-group is a τ -minimal non-H-group. Let’s note that in the case when τ is a trivial subgroup functor (i.e. τ(G) = G for any group G) we obtain the following corollary: Corollary 1. Let f be the minimal ω-composition satellite of the forma- tion F and let H be the canonical ω-composition satellite of a 2-multiply Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .L. I. Belous, V. M. Sel’kin 9 local formation H. A formation F is a minimal ω-composition non-H- formation if and only if F = cωformG, where G is a monolithic group and R = GH = Soc(G) is the socle of G, where R * Φ(G) and either π = π(Com(R)) ∩ ω = ∅ or π 6= ∅ and G satisfies one of the following conditions: 1) G = R is a group of prime order p /∈ π(H); 2) G = [R]M , where R = Op(G) = Fp(G) for same p ∈ π and M is a monolithic group and Q = MH(p) = Soc(M) is the socle of M , where p 6∈ π(Com(Q)) and Q * Φ(M). In the case when for all groups G the set τ(G) is the set of all sub- normal subgroups of the group G instead of τ they write ssn. Corollary 2. Let f be the minimal ssn-valued ω-composition satellite of the formation F and let H be the canonical ω-composition satellite of a 2-multiply local formation H. A formation F is a minimal ssn-closed ω- composition non-H-formation if and only if F = cssn ω formG, where G is a monolithic non-H-group and R = GH = Soc(G) is the socle of G, where R * Φ(G) such that every popper subnormal subgroup of G belongs to H and either π = π(Com(R)) ∩ ω = ∅ or π 6= ∅ and G satisfies one of the following conditions: 1) G = R is a group of prime order p /∈ π(H); 2) G = [R]M , where R = Op(G) = Fp(G) for same p ∈ π and M is a monolithic non-H(p)-group and Q = MH(p) = Soc(M) is the socle of M , where p 6∈ π(Com(Q)) and Q * Φ(M) such that every popper subnormal subgroup of M belongs to H(p). Corollary 3. Let S be the formation of all soluble groups. A formation F is a minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-soluble formation if and only if F = cτ ωformG, where G is a monolithic τ -minimal non-soluble group and R = GS = Soc(G) is the non-abelian socle of G. Proof. Let H be the canonical ω-composition satellite of the formation S. Hence H(a) = S for all a ∈ ω ∪ {ω′}. Necessity. By Theorem 2.1 and Remark 1, F = cτ ωformG, where G is a monolithic τ -minimal non-S-group and R = GS * Φ(G) is the socle of G and either π = π(Com(R)) ∩ ω = ∅ or π 6= ∅ and G = [R]M , where R = Op(G) = Fp(G) for same p ∈ π and M is a monolithic τ -minimal non-S-group and Q = MS is the socle of M , where Q * Φ(M). Let’s π 6= ∅. In this case R is an abelian p-group. But G/R ∈ S is a soluble group and so G is a soluble group. Then R = GS = 1. A contradiction. Therefore R is a non-abelian group. Sufficiency follows from Theorem 2.1. Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .10 On minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-H-formations Corollary 4. Let N be the formation of all nilpotent groups. A formation F is a minimal τ -closed ω-composition non-N-formation if and only if F = cτ ωformG, where G is a monolithic τ -minimal non-N-group and R = GN = Soc(G) is the socle of G and either π = π(Com(R)) ∩ ω = ∅ or π 6= ∅ and G is a Schmidt group. Proof. Let H be the canonical ω-composition satellite of the formation H. Hence H(a) = { Np, if a = p ∈ ω; N, if a = ω′. Necessity. By Theorem 2.1 and Remark 1, F = cτ ωformG, where G is a monolithic τ -minimal non-N-group and R = GN * Φ(G) is the socle of G and either π = π(Com(R)) ∩ ω = ∅ or π 6= ∅ and G = [R]M , where R = Op(G) = Fp(G) for same p ∈ π and M is a monolithic τ -minimal non-H(p)-group and Q = MH(p) is the socle of M , where p 6∈ π(Com(Q)) and Q * Φ(M). By Lemma 1.4, f(p) = τform(G/Cp(G)) = τform(G/R) = τformM. It means that τformM is a minimal τ -closed non-Np-formation. Since G/R ≃ M ∈ N and N is hereditary, τformM ⊆ N. Thus by Theorem 2.4 [11], τformM = formM = sformM . Let H be a group of minimal order in sformM\Np. If sformH ⊂ sformM , then sformH ⊆ Np. A contradiction. Therefore sformH = sformM . By the choice of the group H, it is a minimal non-Np-group. Thus all its Sylow subgroups are p-groups. It means that H is p-group. A contradiction. Therefore H is a group of prime order q, where q 6= p. Thus sformH = sformZq is a hereditary formation generated by the group of prime order q. Since M ∈ sformZq, M is a group of exponent q. Since G = [R]M and R = CG(R), M is a irreducible abelian group of automorphisms for R. Therefore M is a cyclic group. But the order and the exponent of the cyclic group M are the same. Thus we have |M | = q. So G is a group Schmidt. Sufficiency. Let condition of the corollary be satisfied and R be an abelian p-group. Hence G be a Schmidt group. From the description of the Schmidt groups it follows that G = [R]M , where R = CG(R) is a minimal normal p-subgroup of G and |M | = q, where q is a prime. It means that M is a minimal non-Np-group and Q = M is the socle of M . In this case Φ(M) = 1. Thus by Theorem 2.1, the corollary is proved. Jo u rn al A lg eb ra D is cr et e M at h .L. I.
