Sharp bounds for intervals in finite subgroup lattices

Let H be a subgroup of a finite group G, and put n = [G:H]>1. If p is the least prime divisor of n, we prove that the number of subgroups K with H<= K<= G is less than c(p) n^((log_p n)/4). Here c(p) is the product of (1 - p^(-j))^(-1) over all positive integers j, multiplied by the sum of p^(-z^2) over all integers z....
