Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

A group G satisfies the weak maximality condition for nonnilpotent subgroups [or, briefly, the Wmax-(nonnil) condition if G does not have infinite increasing chains {H n | n ∈ ℕ} of nonnilpotent subgroups such that the indices |H n+1: H n | are infinite for each n ∈ ℕ. We study the structure of hypercentral groups satisfying the weak maximality condition for nonnilpotent subgroups.
