Subgroups of finite index and the just infinite property
نویسنده
چکیده
A residually finite (profinite) group G is just infinite if every non-trivial (closed) normal subgroup of G is of finite index. This paper considers the problem of determining whether a (closed) subgroup H of a just infinite group is itself just infinite. If G is not virtually abelian, we give a description of the just infinite property for normal subgroups in terms of maximal subgroups. In particular, we show that such a group G is hereditarily just infinite if and only if all maximal subgroups of finite index are just infinite. We also obtain results for certain families of virtually abelian groups, including all virtually abelian pro-p groups and their discrete analogues.

On semi-$Pi$-property of subgroups of finite group
Let $G$ be a group and $H$ a subgroup of $G$. $H$ is said to have semi-$Pi$-property in $G$ if there is a subgroup $T$ of $G$ such that $G=HT$ and $Hcap T$ has $Pi$-property in $T$. In this paper, investigating on semi-$Pi$-property of subgroups, we shall obtain some new description of finite groups.
متن کاملOn the structure of just infinite profinite groups
A profinite group G is just infinite if every closed normal subgroup of G is of finite index. We prove that an infinite profinite group is just infinite if and only if, for every open subgroup H of G, there are only finitely many open normal subgroups of G not contained in H . This extends a result recently established by Barnea, Gavioli, Jaikin-Zapirain, Monti and Scoppola in [1], who proved t...
متن کاملFiniteness conditions on characteristic closures and cores of subgroups
We characterise groups in which every abelian subgroup has finite index in its characteristic closure. In a group with this property every subgroup H has finite index in its characteristic closure and there is an upper bound for this index over all subgroups H of G. For every prime p we construct groups G with this property that are infinite nilpotent p-groups of class 2 and exponent p in which...
متن کاملThe influence of S-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups
Let H be a subgroup of a group G. H is said to be S-embedded in G if G has a normal T such that HT is an S-permutable subgroup of G and H ∩ T ≤ H sG, where H denotes the subgroup generated by all those subgroups of H which are S-permutable in G. In this paper, we investigate the influence of minimal S-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups. We determine the structure the finite grou...
متن کاملGroups of Positive Weighted Deficiency and Their Applications
In this paper we introduce the concept of weighted deficiency for abstract and pro-p groups and study groups of positive weighted deficiency which generalize Golod-Shafarevich groups. In order to study weighted deficiency we introduce weighted versions of the notions of rank for groups and index for subgroups and establish weighted analogues of several classical results in combinatorial group t...
