“…In 2018 in [4,Problem 5.20] and [7,Problem 6], the problem was posed even more widely, as the problem of the pronormality of the so-called X-submaximal subgroups which include X-maximal subgroups. The works [7][8][9] and the survey [4] can give an impression about X-submaximal subgroups and the role of the pronormality problems in their study, especially for the groups that are simple or Original article submitted December 6, 2023; revised December 6, 2023; accepted January 25, 2024. close to simple. An additional reason for studying Problem 1 is the pronormality of Hall subgroups (proved in [10]), i.e., of subgroups for which the index and the order are coprime; or, equivalently, of X-Hall subgroups in simple groups, i.e., of X-subgroups whose indices do not divide by primes p if only X contains a group of order p. Obviously, X-Hall subgroups are always X-maximal.…”
