Classes of Finite Soluble Groups

Abstract

I want to give here a rather biased account of recent work in the theory of classes of finite soluble groups. I will be concentrating on results which have something to say about the classes themselves, rather than results which use the classes to obtain a picture of the internal structure of finite soluble groups. My main excuse for doing so is that this part of the theory is at a very interesting stage: the classes are proving to be more exotic than might have been expected, and though we know little about them, some results and techniques are appearing, and it seems likely we will not remain so ignorant for long.
