Extract

In (3) W. Gaschütz introduced the concept of a formation of finite soluble groups, generalizing the results of R. W. Carter on the existence and conjugacy of nilpotent self-normalizing subgroups in finite soluble groups (2). Carter's results have already been extended to two classes of infinite groups in (9), (10), and the object of the present work is to extend the results of Gaschütz to a class of infinite groups, thereby generalizing (9).
