Groups with Subnormal Deviation

Abstract

The structure of groups which are rich in subnormal subgroups has been investigated by several authors. Here, we prove that if a periodic soluble group G has subnormal deviation, which means that the set of its non-subnormal subgroups satisfies a very weak chain condition, then either G is a Černikov group or all its subgroups are subnormal. It follows that if a periodic soluble group has a subnormal deviation, then its subnormal deviation is 0.
