Pi-separable group

From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Jump to: navigation, search

A group which has a normal series such that the order of every factor contains at most one prime from $\pi$ ($\pi$ is a set of prime numbers). The class of $\pi$-separable groups contains the class of $\pi$-solvable groups (cf. $\pi$-solvable group). For finite $\pi$-separable groups, the $\pi$-Sylow properties (cf. Sylow theorems) have been shown to hold (see [1]). In fact, for any set $\pi_1\subseteq\pi$, a finite $\pi$-separable group $G$ contains a $\pi_1$-Hall subgroup (cf. also Hall subgroup), and any two $\pi_1$-Hall subgroups are conjugate in $G$. Any $\pi_1$-subgroup of a $\pi$-separable group $G$ is contained in some $\pi_1$-Hall subgroup of $G$ (see [2]).

Comments

Chunikhin's theorem says that if $k$ is a divisor of the order $n$ of a $\pi$-separable group such that $n=kl$, $(k,l)=1$, and if all prime divisors of $k$ are in $\pi$, then $G$ has a subgroup of order $k$ and all these subgroups are conjugate in $G$. If $\pi$ consists of all prime numbers this becomes Hall's first theorem.

Gol'berg's theorem, [a2], says that if $G$ is a finite $\pi$-separable group and $\pi_1$ is a subset of $\pi$, then $G$ has a Sylow $\pi_1$-basis (cf. Sylow basis) and all these bases are conjugate.
