Definition

Symbol-free definition

A finite group is termed almost solvable if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

• The quotient by its solvable radical is either trivial, or isomorphic to the alternating group on five letters
• The group is a $M_4$-group: every irreducible character is induced from a character on a subgroup of dimension at most $4$
