Extract

The Frattini subgroup φ(G) of a group G is the intersection of G and all its maximal subgroups. The following results for finite groups are well known:

THEOREM A0. If G is a finite group, then the following three conditions are equivalent:

(i) G is nilpotent,

(ii) G/φ(G) is nilpotent,

(iii) φ(G) ≥ G′.
