Generalized Sylow tower groups. II

James B. Derr and N. P. Mukherjee

Vol. 45 (1973), No. 2, 427–434
Abstract

A well-known result of P. Hall shows that finite solvable groups may be characterized by a permutability requirement on Sylow subgroups. The notion of a generalized Sylow tower group (GSTG) arises when this permutability condition on Sylow subgroups is replaced by a suitable normalizer condition. In an earlier papar, one of the authors showed that the nilpotent length of a GSTG cannot exceed the number of distinct primes which divide the order of the group. The present investigation utilizes the ‘type’ of a GSTG to obtain improved bounds for the nilpotent length of a G,STG. It is also shown that a GSTG with nilpotent length n possesses a Hall subgroup of nilpotent length n which is a Sylow tower group.
