Fitting Subgroup


The fitting subgroup is the subgroup generated by all normal nilpotent subgroups of a group H, denoted F(H).

In the case of a finite group, the subgroup generated will itself be a normal nilpotent subgroup, and hence the unique largest normal nilpotent subgroup.

The generalized fitting subgroup is defined by F^*(H)=F(H)E(H), where E(H) is the commuting product of all components of H and F is the fitting subgroup of H.
