A note on Hall S-permutably embedded subgroups of finite groups

Abstract

Let G be a finite group. Recall that a subgroup A of G is said to permute with a subgroup B if AB=BA. A subgroup A of G is said to be S-quasinormal or S-permutable in G if A permutes with all Sylow subgroups of G. Recall also that HsG is the S-permutable closure of H in G, that is, the intersection of all such S-permutable subgroups of G which contain H. We say that H is Hall S-permutably embedded in G if H is a Hall subgroup of the S-permutable closure HsG of H in G. We prove that the following conditions are equivalent: (1) every subgroup of G is Hall S-permutably embedded in G; (2) the nilpotent residual GN of G is a Hall cyclic of square-free order subgroup of G; (3) G=D⋊M is a split extension of a cyclic subgroup D of square-free order by a nilpotent group M, where M and D are both Hall subgroups of G.
