Hall on indexes of maximal subgroups", "authors": [ "Antonio Beltrán", "Changguo Shao" ], "categories": [ "math.GR" ], "abstract": "We extend a classical theorem of P. Hall that claims that if the index of every maximal subgroup of a finite group $G$ is a prime or the square of a prime, then $G$ is solvable. Precisely, we prove that if one allows, in addition, the possibility that every maximal subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent instead of having prime or squared-prime index, then $G$ continues to be solvable. Likewise, we obtain the solvability of $G$ when we assume that every proper non-maximal subgroup of $G$ lies in some subgroup of index prime or squared prime.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2025-01-04T10:27:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20E28", "20D15", "20D06" ], "keywords": [ "extensions", "proper non-maximal subgroup", "finite group", "squared-prime index", "index prime" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
