Abstract

A group is said to be cube-free if its order is not divisible by the cube of any prime. Let fcf,sol(n)f_{cf,sol}(n) denote the isomorphism classes of solvable cube-free groups of order nn. We find asymptotic bounds for fcf,sol(n)f_{cf,sol}(n) in this paper. Let pp be a prime and let q=pkq = p^k for some positive integer kk. We also give a formula for the number of conjugacy classes of the subgroups that are maximal amongst non-abelian solvable cube-free pp'-subgroups of GL(2,q){\rm GL}(2,q). Further, we find the exact number of split extensions of PP by QQ up to isomorphism of a given order where P{Zp×Zp,Zpα}P \in \{{\mathbb Z}_p \times {\mathbb Z}_p, {\mathbb Z}_{p^{\alpha}}\}, pp is a prime, α\alpha is a positive integer and QQ is a cube-free abelian group of odd order such that pQp \nmid |Q|.
