HYPERCENTRAL GROUPS WITH ALL SUBGROUPS SUBNORMAL II HOWARD SMITH 1. Results An example constructed in [4] shows that there is a group G which is hypercentral of length exactly a>+1 and which has all of its subgroups subnormal. Furthermore, G has rank 2 and is residually finite. Theorem 2 of the same paper states that a group with all subgroups subnormal and having finite abelian subgroup rank and hypercentral length at most co is necessarily nilpotent. Let A^ denote the class of groups in which all subgroups are subnormal and ZA^ the class of hypercentral groups of length at most co. Our first result is: THEOREM 1. A residually finite group in N n ZA^ is nilpotent. Now denote by ft^f,) the class of groups with finite abelian subgroup rank. From [2, Corollary 1 to Theorem 6.36], it is easily seen that locally nilpotent groups with this property are residually of finite rank (/?5 ). A natural generalisation of both [4, Theorem 2] and Theorem 1 above is then provided by: THEOREM 2. A group in the class TV^ n ZA n R% is nilpotent. W r In the course of proving Theorem 2 we shall require the following
