Abstract:

In this paper we prove that if G is a group for which there are k non-Frattini chief factors isomorphic to a characteristically simple group A, then G has a normal section C/R that is the direct product of k minimal normal subgroups of G/R isomorphic to A. This is a significant extension of the notion of crown for isomorphic chief factors.
