Description

• 

A finite group G is Lagrangian (or, a CLT-group) if it satisfies the converse of Lagrange's Theorem in the sense that it has a subgroup of order equal to every divisor of its order.

• 

Every finite nilpotent group is Lagrangian, and a finite group is supersoluble if, and only if, each of its subgroups is Lagrangian. (Finite nilpotent groups have a much stronger property: a finite group is nilpotent if, and only if, it has a normal subgroup of order d, for each divisor d of its order.)

• 

The class of Lagrangian groups is neither subgroup- nor quotient-closed.

• 

The IsLagrangian( G ) command attempts to determine whether the group G is Lagrangian.  It returns true if G is Lagrangian and returns false otherwise.

• 

A GCLT-group is a finite group G such that, for each subgroup H of G, and for each prime divisor p of the index [G:H] of H in G, there is a subgroup L of G, containing H, for which the index [L:H] is equal to p. GCLT-groups are most commonly referred to as 𝒥-groups in the literature.

• 

Every GCLT-group is Lagrangian, but not conversely.

• 

The IsGCLTGroup( G ) command attempts to determine whether the group G is a GCLT-group. It returns true if G is a GCLT-group, and returns the value false otherwise.

• 

The group G must be an instance of a permutation group.
