On the Fitting length of a soluble linear group

Trevor Ongley Hawkes

Vol. 44 (1973), No. 2, 537–540
Abstract

Let G be a finite soluble completely reducible linear group of degree n over a perfect field. It is shown that the Fitting length l(G) of G satisfies the inequality

l(G ) ≦ 3 + 2log3(n∕2),

and that this bound is best possible for infinitely many values of n.
