Finite Groups With Abnormal Minimal Nonnilpotent Subgroups

Abstract

We describe finite soluble nonnilpotent groups in which every minimal nonnilpotent subgroup is abnormal. We also show that if G is a nonsoluble finite group in which every minimal nonnilpotent subgroup is abnormal, then G is quasisimple and $Z(G)$ is cyclic of order $|Z(G)|\in \{1, 2, 3, 4\}$ .
