Extract

The concept of a local system of a set W is defined in ((8), p. 166) and ((12), p. 126). Recall that a set ℒ of subsets of W is a local system if Uℒ = W and ℒ is directed in the following sense: for every finite set H1, …, Hn of elements of ℒ, there is an M∈ℒ such that Hi⊂M for 1≤i≤n. If Σ is a class of groups, L(Σ) is the class of all groups G that possess a local system of Σ subgroups. Σ satisfies the local theorem, or is L-closed, if L(Σ)⊂Σ. Many classes of groups which satisfy the local theorem are discussed in ((12), pp. 126–144).
