Abstract A maximal chain in a finite lattice L is called smooth if any two intervals of the same length are isomorphic. We say that a finite group G is totally smooth if all maximal chains in its subgroup lattice L(G) are smooth. A finite group G is said to be mutually permutable product of the subgroups H and K if G= HK and H permutes with every subgroup of K and K permutes with every subgroup of H. A finite group G is said to be mutually m-permutable product of the subgroups H and K if G= HK and H permutes with every maximal subgroup of K and K permutes with every maximal subgroup of H. This thesis is devoted to study the structure of a finite group G with totally smooth maximal subgroups and one of the following holds. i) G is mutually permutable product of two subgroups. ii) G is mutually m-permutable product of two subgroups. iii) G has a permutable subgroup of prime order. |
