Abstract:
The object of this paper are finite nonsolvable groups G having a maximal subgroup of order 2p, p prime. By using group theoretic, character theoretic, and elementary arithmetical arguments, the following result is proved : If the order of G is divisible by at most four distinct primes, then G is isomorphic to PSL(2, q) or Sz(2^q) for an appropriate value of q.
