Abstract

Suppose that 𝒞 is a class of groups consisting only of periodic groups and P ( C ) is the set of prime numbers that do not divide the order of any element of a 𝒞-group. It is easy to see that if a subgroup 𝑌 of a group 𝑋 is 𝒞-separable in this group, then it is P ( C ) -isolated in 𝑋. Let us say that 𝑋 has the property C - S e p if all of its P ( C ) -isolated subgroups are 𝒞-separable. We find a condition that is sufficient for a nilpotent group 𝑁 to have the property C - S e p provided 𝒞 is a root class. We also prove that if 𝑁 is torsion-free, then the indicated condition is necessary for this group to have C - S e p .
