Joseph Kirtland Complementation of Normal Subgroups

Annotation

Starting with the Schur-Zassenhaus theorem, this monograph documents a wide variety of results concerning complementation of normal subgroups in finite groups. The contents cover a wide range of material from reduction theorems and subgroups in the derived and lower nilpotent series to abelian normal subgroups and formations.
