Let $G$ be a finite soluble group and $h(G)$ its Fitting length. The aim of this paper is to give certain upper bounds for $h(G)$ as functions of the Fitting length of at least three Hall subgroups of $G$ which factorize $G$ in a particular…

The nonsoluble length $\lambda (G)$ of a finite group $G$ is defined as the number of nonsoluble factors in a shortest normal series each of whose factors either is soluble or is a direct product of nonabelian simple groups. The generalized…

The generalized Fitting height of a finite group $G$ is the least number $h=h^*(G)$ such that $F^*_h(G)=G$, where the $F^*_i(G)$ is the generalized Fitting series: $F^*_1(G)=F^*(G)$ and $F^*_{i+1}(G)$ is the inverse image of…

It is known that a finite group with an automorphism $\varphi$ of coprime order has a soluble radical of $(|\varphi|,|C_G(\varphi)|)$-bounded Fitting height and index. We extend this classic result as follows. Let $f(x) = a_0 + a_1 \cdot x…

Let G be a finite solvable group, and let h(G) denote its Fitting height, namely the length of a shortest normal series in G with nilpotent factors. We show, that any law in G has length at least h(G). This result is then used to improve a…

Motivated by classic theorems of Thompson and Berger on the Fitting height of finite groups with a fixed-point-free automorphism of coprime order, we conjecture that, for every non-zero polynomial $f(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + \cdots + a_d x^d \in…

It is proved that if a finite $p$-soluble group $G$ admits an automorphism $\varphi$ of order $p^n$ having at most $m$ fixed points on every $\varphi$-invariant elementary abelian $p'$-section of $G$, then the $p$-length of $G$ is bounded…

For a finite group $G$ and its maximal subgroup $M$ we proved that the generalized Fitting height of $M$ can't be less by 2 than the generalized Fitting height of $G$ and the non-$p$-soluble length of $M$ can't be less by 1 than the…

The generalized Fitting height $h^*(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the least number $h$ such that $\mathrm{F}_h^* (G) = G$, where $\mathrm{F}_{(0)}^* (G) = 1$, and $\mathrm{F}_{(i+1)}^*(G)$ is the inverse image of the generalized Fitting…

Every finite solvable group $G$ has a normal series with nilpotent factors. The smallest possible number of factors in such a series is called the Fitting height $h(G)$. In the present paper, we derive an upper bound for $h(G)$ in terms of…

In this paper the concept of $\mathbb{F}$-functorial of a finite group was introduced. These functorials have many properties of the Fitting subgroup of a soluble group and the generalized Fitting subgroup of a finite group. It was shown…

Let $g$ be an element of a finite group $G$. For a positive integer $n$, let $E_n(g)$ be the subgroup generated by all commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots,g]$ over $x\in G$, where $g$ is repeated $n$ times. By Baer's theorem, if $E_n(g)=1$,…

Let $g$ be an element of a finite group $G$ and let $R_{n}(g)$ be the subgroup generated by all the right Engel values $[g,{}_{n}x]$ over $x\in G$. In the case when $G$ is soluble we prove that if, for some $n$, the Fitting height of…

Let $F(G)$ and $b(G)$ respectively denote the Fitting subgroup and the largest degree of an irreducible complex character of a finite group $G$. A well-known conjecture of D. Gluck claims that if $G$ is solvable then $|G:F(G)|\leq…

We consider factorizations of a finite group $G$ into conjugate subgroups, $G=A^{x_{1}}\cdots A^{x_{k}}$ for $A\leq G$ and $x_{1},\ldots ,x_{k}\in G$, where $A$ is nilpotent or solvable. First we exploit the split $BN$-pair structure of…

Finite groups in which every element has prime power order (EPPO-groups) are nowadays fairly well understood. For instance, if $G$ is a soluble EPPO-group, then the Fitting height of $G$ is at most 3 and $|\pi(G)|\leqslant 2$ (Higman,…
