A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is called almost polycyclically close to a normal group (in $G$) if $H$ contains a subgroup $L$ normal in $H^G$ for which the quotient group $H^G /L$ is almost polycyclic. The group G is called an anti-$PC$-group if each its subgroup, which is not almost polycyclic, is almost polycyclically close to normal. The structure of minimax anti-$PC$-groups is investigated.

We study the groups, in which the family Lnon-nn(G) of all not nearly normal subgroups has the Krull dimension. A subgroup H of the group G is said to be nearly normal if H has finite index in its normal closure.

We consider the problem of the coupling between a factor-module $A / C_A(G)$ and a submodule $A(\omega RG)$, where $G$ is a group, $R$ is a ring, and $A$ is an $RG$-module. It is possible to consider $C_A (G)$ as an analog of the center of the group and the submodule $A(\omega RG)$ as an analog of the derived subgroup of the group.

A group $G$ satisfies the weak maximality condition for nonnilpotent subgroups or, shortly, the condition Wmax-(non-nil), if $G$does not possess the infinite ascending chains $\{H_n | n \in N\}$ of nonnilpotent subgroups such that the indexes $|H_{n+i} :\; H_n |$ are infinite for all $n \in N$. In the present paper, we study the structure of hypercentral groups satisfying the weak maximality condition for nonnilpotent subgroups.

We study classes of groups whose subgroups of some infinite ranks are almost normal.

We introduce the notion of CDN[)-groups:G is a CDN[)-group if, for any pair of its subgroupsA andB such thatA is a proper nonmaximum subgroup, ofB, there exists a normal subgroupN which belongs toG and satisfies the inequalitiesA≤N. Fifteen types of nilpotent non-Dedekind groups and nine types of nonnilpotent locally graded groups of this kind are obtained.
