On w-maximal groups
Let be a word, i.e. an element of the free group on generators . The verbal subgroup of
a group is the subgroup generated by the set of all -values in . We say that a (finite)
group is -maximal if for all proper subgroups
of and that is hereditarily -maximal if every subgroup of is
-maximal. In this text we study -maximal and hereditarily -maximal
(finite) groups.Comment: 15 page
