On minimal non-PC-groups
[Sur les non-PC-groupes minimaux]
Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal, Tome 16 (2009) no. 2, pp. 277-286.

On dit qu’un groupe G est un PC-groupe, si pour tout xG, G/C G (x G ) est une extension d’un groupe polycyclique par un groupe fini. Un non-PC-groupe minimal est un groupe qui n’est pas un PC-groupe mais dont tous les sous-groupes propres sont des PC-groupes. Notre principal résultat est qu’un non-PC-groupe minimal ayant un groupe quotient fini non-trivial est une extension cyclique finie d’un groupe abélien divisible de rang fini.

A group G is said to be a PC-group, if G/C G (x G ) is a polycyclic-by-finite group for all xG. A minimal non-PC-group is a group which is not a PC-group but all of whose proper subgroups are PC-groups. Our main result is that a minimal non-PC-group having a non-trivial finite factor group is a finite cyclic extension of a divisible abelian group of finite rank.
