Synopsis

Let J(KG) be the Jacobson radical of the group algebra KG of a finite p-solvable group G over a field K of characteristic p > 0, and let t(G) be the least positive integer t such that J(KG)t = 0. In this paper we determine the structure of G with t(G) = 4 under the assumption that H is abelian, H is metacyclic, or the order of H is not divisible by 3 where H = O2'(G).
