We show that G has a non-nilpotent image G/N, such that N is characteristic and of index bounded by a function of d and p. This result will be used to prove that the index of the Frattini subgroup of G is bounded in terms of d and p. Upper bounds will be given explicitly for soluble groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-04-13T15:12:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "sylow subgroup", "finite groups", "bounded number", "generators", "finite non-nilpotent group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.4722R" } } }
