Abstract:
Let $\mathfrak F$ be some $\tau$-closed $\omega$-saturated formation, $\mathfrak S$ be the formation of all soluble groups. Then $\mathfrak F/^{\omega}_{\tau}\mathfrak F \cap \mathfrak S$ denotes the lattice of all $\tau$-closed $\omega$-saturated formations $\mathfrak H$ such that $\mathfrak F \cap \mathfrak S \subseteq \mathfrak H \subseteq \mathfrak F$. A length of the lattice $\mathfrak F/^{\omega}_{\tau}\mathfrak F \cap \mathfrak S$ is called a soluble $l^{\omega}_{\tau}$-defect of the $\tau$-closed $\omega$-saturated formation $\mathfrak F$. The description of reducible $\tau$-closed $\omega$-saturated formations of finite groups with a soluble $l^{\omega}{\tau}$-defect 2 is obtained.
