Groups in which every proper subgroup is Chernikov-by-nilpotent or nilpotent-by-Chernikov. (English) Zbl 0632.20018

B. Bruno and R. E. Phillips [Rend. Semin. Mat. Univ. Padova 69, 153-168 (1983; Zbl 0522.20022)] have classified infinite groups in which every proper subgroup is finite-by-nilpotent of class \(c\) whereas B. Bruno [Boll. Unione Mat. Ital., VI. Ser. B 3, 797-807 (1984; Zbl 0563.20035) and ibid. D 3, 179-188 (1984; Zbl 0578.20027)] has considered the “dual” situation studying the cases in which proper subgroups are Abelian-by-finite and nilpotent-by-finite. The results in the present paper extend the above problems by replacing finite group by Chernikov group and they have a rather different nature than those of Bruno and Phillips because the main theorems give subgroup characterizations of the properties under consideration. These theorems are the following 1) A locally graded group \(G\) is Chernikov-by-nilpotent of class \(c\) if and only if every proper subgroup of \(G\) is Chernikov-by-nilpotent of class \(c\). 2) A periodic locally graded group \(G\) is Abelian-by-Chernikov if and only if every proper subgroup of \(G\) is Abelian-by-Chernikov.
