Extract

The first example of a non-trivial group satisfying the normalizer condition but having trivial centre was obtained by Heineken and Mohamed (1). In fact, the group they constructed satisfies the stronger condition that all its proper subgroups are subnormal and nilpotent. In this note we use a construction suggested by their approach to obtain such a group G as a subgroup of the restricted wreath product Cp ≀ Cp∞. The fact that G is given as a subgroup of a well known group makes it rather easier to investigate its properties, and in particular to see that its centre Z(G) is trivial.
