A local characterisation of serial subgroups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Extract
In (2) Hickin and Phillips establish various results connecting the ideas of local systems and serial subgroups in group theory. In (4) Petty shows that if a group has a local factor system of -groups, then it may be embedded in an ultraproduct of -groups and he uses this result to extend some local theorems which were originally due to Mal'cev (3) and at the same time providing an elementary proof. We shall show that Petty's method may be used to prove results about seriality and local systems.
