Supersolvable subgroups of order divisible by 3

Abstract

We determine the structure of the finite non-solvable groups of order divisible by 33 all whose maximal subgroups of order divisible by 33 are supersolvable. Precisely, we demonstrate that if GG is a finite non-solvable group satisfying the above condition on maximal subgroups, then either GG is a 33'-group or G/O3(G)G/{\bf O}_{3'}(G) is isomorphic to PSL2(2p){\rm PSL}_2(2^p) for an odd prime pp, where O3(G){\bf O}_{3'}(G) denotes the largest normal 33'-subgroup of GG. Furthermore, in the latter case, O3(G){\bf O}_{3'}(G) is nilpotent and O2(G)Z(G){\bf O}_2(G)\leq {\bf Z}(G).
