Yq. Zhao, ON THE DESKINS COMPLETIONS, THETA-COMPLETIONS AND THETA-PAIRS FOR MAXIMAL-SUBGROUPS-II, Communications in algebra, 26(10), 1998, pp. 3155-3164
This paper is a continuation of the paper ''On the Deskins completions
, theta completions and theta pairs for maximal subgroups''. In the fo
rmer paper, Zhao Yaoqing introduced the concept of theta-completions a
ssociated to a maximal subgroup of a finite group. The concept offers
a convenience for us to study the completions introduced by Deskins an
d gives us a way to reveal the relationship between the concepts of co
mpletions and theta-pairs, the latter concept is introduced by Mukherj
ee and Bhattacharya. The present paper is devoted to discussing the pi
-solvability, pi-supersolvability and pi-nilpotency of a finite group
by using the theta-completions. Moreover, a new proof on the Deskins c
onjecture concerning the supersolvability is included.
