On the maximum number of subgroups of a finite group

Abstract

Given a finite group RR, we let Sub(R)\mathrm{Sub}(R) denote the collection of all subgroups of RR. We show that Sub(R)<cRlog2R4|\mathrm{Sub}(R)|< c\cdot |R|^{\frac{\log_2|R|}{4}}, where c<7.372c<7.372 is an explicit absolute constant. This result is asymptotically best possible. Indeed, as R|R| tends to infinity and RR is an elementary abelian 22-group, the ratio Sub(R)Rlog2R4\frac{|\mathrm{Sub}(R)|}{|R|^{\frac{\log_2|R|}{4}}} tends to cc.
