Abstract

Let n>0 be an integer and X be a class of groups. We say that a group G satisfies the condition (X,n) whenever in every subset with n+1 elements of G there exist distinct elements x,y such that <x,y> is in X. Let N and A be the classes of nilpotent groups and abelian groups, respectively. Here we prove that: (1) If G is a finite semi-simple group satisfying the condition (N,n), then |G|<c^2[log21n]n2 [log21n]!, for some constant c. (2) A finite insoluble group G satisfies the condition (N,21) if and only if (G)/(Z^*(G))≅ A5, the alternating group of degree 5, where Z^*(G) is the hypercentre of G. (3) A finite non-nilpotent group G satisfies the condition (N, 4) if and only if (G)/(Z^*(G))≅ S3, the symmetric group of degree 3. (4) An insoluble group G satisfies the condition (A,21) if and only if G≅ Z(G)× A5, where Z(G) is the centre of G. (5) If d is the derived length of a soluble group satisfying the condition (A,n), then d=1 if n∈ \1,2\ and d≤ 2n-3 if n≥ 2.
