n-capability of A-groups

Abstract

Following P. Hall a soluble group whose Sylow subgroups are all abelian is called A-group. The purpose of this article is to give a new and shorter proof for a criterion on the capability of A-groups of order p2q, where p and q are distinct primes. Subsequently we give a sufficient condition for n-capability of groups having the property that their center and derived subgroups have trivial intersection, like the groups with trivial Frattini subgroup and A-groups. An interesting necessary and sufficient condition for capability of the A-groups of square free order will be also given.
