Abstract
The nonprimary subgroups of the symmetric group S 9 are investigated. Embedding properties of these subgroups are listed in a table. Properties such as abnormality, pronormality, paranormality, weak normality, etc. were checked with the help of a computer. Algorithms and codes of the first author were used for this purpose. The research leans upon the technique of Burnside marks, as well as upon pertinent information on the table of marks of S 9 from the computer algebra package GAP. The subgroups were investigated up to conjugacy; the total number of conjugacy classes of nonprimary subgroups of S 9 is 432. Some subgroups were additionally checked by other programs based on the double coset method. Bibliography: 24 titles.
