Extract

Let

be a series of type Ω of the group G. By this we mean that Ω is an ordered set (we shall always understand ‘ordered’ to mean ‘totally ordered’) and Λσ and Vσ are subgroups of G satisfying

(i) Vσ ◃ Λσ for all σεΩ,

(ii) Λσ ≤ Vτ if σ < τ

(iii) , where G−1 denotes the set of elements ≠ 1 of G and Λσ−Vσ the set of elements of Λσ not belonging to Vσ,

(iv) Vσ ≠ Λσ for all σ ε Ω.
