Abstract:

A subset $S$ of a group $G$ is said to normally generate $G$ if the smallest normal subgroup of $G$ which contains $S$ is $G$ itself. If $\alpha$ is minimal with the property that there exist a set of cardinality $\alpha$ which normally generates $G$ then $G$ is said to have weight $\alpha$. It is shown that if $G$ is a group of finite weight and if the lattice of those normal subgroups of $G$ which are contained in the commutator subgroup $G’$ of $G$ satisfies the minimum condition then the weight of $G$ is equal to the weight of $G/G’$.
