Abstract
Bouc proposed the following conjecture: a finite group is nilpotent if and only if its largest quotient -group is nilpotent. And he has prove that this conjecture holds when is solvable. In this paper, we consider the case when is not solvable. Let be a nonabelian simple group except the Chevalley groups , , , and , if there exists only one factor of which is isomorphic to , then is not solvable, of course, is not nilpotent. That means we prove the conjecture in these cases.
