Abstract. A finite group G is said to be simply reducible (SR-group) if it has the following two properties: 1) each element of G is conjugate to its inverse; 2) the tensor product of every two irreducible representations is decomposed as a sum of irreducible representations of G with multiplicities not exceeding 1. It is proved that a finite SR-group is solvable if it has no composition factors isomorphic to the alternating groups A 5 or A 6 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
