Abstract

In this survey we present some significant bounds for the‎ ‎number of maximal subgroups of a given index of a finite group‎. ‎As a‎ ‎consequence‎, ‎new bounds for the number of random‎ ‎generators needed to generate a finite d-generated group with high‎ ‎probability which are significantly tighter than the ones obtained in‎ ‎the paper of Jaikin-Zapirain and Pyber (Random generation of finite‎ ‎and profinite groups and group enumeration‎, Ann. Math.‎, 183 (2011) 769–814) are obtained‎. ‎The results of‎ ‎Jaikin-Zapirain and Pyber‎, ‎as well as other results of Lubotzky‎, ‎Detomi‎, ‎and Lucchini‎, ‎appear as particular cases of our theorems‎.

Abstract

Let σ = {σi : iI} be a partition of the set ℙ of all prime numbers. A subgroup X of a finite group G is called σ-subnormal in G if there is a chain of subgroups X = X0X1 ⊆⋯⊆ Xn = G where for every j=1,…,n the subgroup Xj-1 is normal in Xj or Xj/CoreXj(Xj-1) is a σi-group for some iI. In the special case that σ is the partition of ℙ into sets containing exactly one prime each, the σ-subnormality reduces to the familiar case of subnormality. In this paper some σ-subnormality criteria for subgroups of σ-soluble groups, or groups in which every chief factor is a σi-group, for some iI, are showed.
