β¦ Synopsis
Suppose that H is a subgroup of a finite group G and that G is generated by the conjugates of H. In this paper, we consider the following question: when can G be generated by two conjugates of H?
We began the study of this question in [2]. In order to discuss the results proved in [2] and in this paper, we use the following notation. The chain length of H in G is defined by
If cl G H = 1 then H is maximal in G and the answer to the question is yes. In [2] we considered the case cl G H = 2. We proved that the answer is yes, unless G has a very restricted structure. Note that there is no loss in factoring out by H G , the largest normal subgroup of G contained in H and hence assuming H G = 1. In [2] we proved: Theorem A. Let H be a subgroup of a finite group G such that G = H G and H G = 1. Suppose that cl G H = 2 and that G cannot be generated by two conjugates of H. Then there exists a prime p and a faithful irreducible

Given a finite group G, we denote by l G the length of the longest chain of subgroups of G. We study whether certain sets of non-isomorphic finite simple groups S with bounded l S are finite or infinite. We prove, in particular, that there exists an infinite number of non-isomorphic non-abelian fini
In this paper we prove the following theorem: THEOREM 1.5. Let G be an infinite, simple, K \*-group of finite Morley rank with a strongly embedded subgroup M. Assume that the Sylow 2-subgroups of G ha¨e infinitely many commuting in¨olutions. Then M is sol¨able. Ž . If, in addition, G is tame, then
## Abstract Let __X__ be a nonempty subset of a group __G__. We call a subgroup __A__ of __G__ an __X__~__m__~β__semipermutable__ subgroup of __G__ if __A__ has a minimal supplement __T__ in __G__ such that for every maximal subgroup __M__ of any Hall subgroup __T__~1~ of __T__ there exists an elem
