Abstract

The main result in the paper states the following: For a finite group , which is the product of the soluble subgroups and , if is a metanilpotent group for all and , then the factor groups are nilpotent, denoting the Fitting subgroup of . A particular generalization of this result and some consequences are also obtained. For instance, such a group is proved to be soluble of nilpotent length at most , assuming that the factors and have nilpotent length at most . Also for any finite soluble group and , an element is contained in the preimage of the hypercenter of , where denotes the ()th term of the Fitting series of , if and only if the subgroups have nilpotent length at most for all .
