Abstract

Let σ={σiiI}\sigma=\{\sigma_{i}|i\in I\} be some partition of the set P\mathbb{P} of all primes, that is, P=iIσi\mathbb{P}=\bigcup_{i\in I}\sigma_{i} and σiσj=\sigma_{i}\cap \sigma_{j}=\emptyset for all iji\neq j. Let GG be a finite group. A set H\mathcal {H} of subgroups of GG is said to be a complete Hall σ\sigma-set of GG if every non-identity member of H\mathcal {H} is a Hall σi\sigma_{i}-subgroup of GG and H\mathcal {H} contains exactly one Hall σi\sigma_{i}-subgroup of GG for every σiσ(G)\sigma_{i}\in \sigma(G). GG is said to be a σ\sigma-group if it possesses a complete Hall σ\sigma-set. A σ\sigma-group GG is said to be σ\sigma-dispersive provided GG has a normal series 1=G1<G2<<Gt<Gt+1=G1 = G_1<G_2<\cdots< G_t< G_{t+1} = G and a complete Hall σ\sigma-set {H1,H2,,Ht}\{H_{1}, H_{2}, \cdots, H_{t}\} such that GiHi=Gi+1G_iH_i = G_{i+1} for all i=1,2,ti= 1,2,\ldots t. In this paper, we give a characterizations of σ\sigma-dispersive group, which give a positive answer to an open problem of Skiba in the paper.
