Weakly SS-Quasinormal Minimal Subgroups and the Nilpotency of a Finite Group

Abstract

A subgroup H is said to be an s-permutable subgroup of a finite group G provided that the equality HP =PH holds for every Sylow subgroup P of G. Moreover, H is called SS-quasinormal in G if there exists a supplement B of H to G such that H permutes with every Sylow subgroup of B. We show that H is weakly SS-quasinormal in G if there exists a normal subgroup T of G such that HT is s-permutable and H \ T is SS-quasinormal in G. We study the influence of some weakly SS-quasinormal minimal subgroups on the nilpotency of a finite group G. Numerous results known from the literature are unified and generalized.
