Extract

In this paper we obtain various sufficient conditions for the solubility of a finite group. In particular, we show that if G is a finite group and p≥5 is a prime such that all p′-subgroups of G are nilpotent, then G is soluble. We show also that if G is a finite group which has a cyclic Sylow p-subgroup Pand such that for all p′-subgroups H of G, H is nilpotent and H′ is cyclic, then, if p≠3, either PG or G has a normal p-complement.
