Abstract
As an important application of Thompson's theorem [Citation9, Theorem 10.4.2], a finite group is solvable if it has an abelian maximal subgroup. In this article, we mainly investigate the influence of some quantitative properties of abelian subgroups on solvability of finite groups. Some new results are obtained.
