    Now there is Sylow p-subgroup.


    Is there a compilation, somewhere, of the results “the (obvious) automorphisms of a small 𝔄\mathfrak{A} AA are transitive on AA’s maximal 𝔅\mathfrak{B}s?” The only other example ready in my head is that the maximal tori in a compact Lie group are conjugate, but I know I’ve seen more.

    The p-torsion article that is linked to from Sylow p-subgroup seems to refer only to abelian groups (?).

    The p-torsion article

    I wasn’t aware of that article. It overlaps a bit with the other article, torsion subgroup. I don’t have time to merge them now, but I have added cross-links. (And I fixed the typo in the definition! :-)

    @Todd, hmm… see, I was only looking for the proof of the unproved theorem now in Sylow, so I didn’t look too closely… And now I see you’re right, and therefore that the thing in the p-torsion page really should be called simply a prime factor of GG, or at most a Smith submodule — (er, did a Smith really write Smith’s Algorithm?)

    Added a proof of existence of Sylow subgroups mentioned by Benjamin Steinberg at the Café.

    I’m probably being dim but shouldn’t one add a condition to HH. I mean, what’s to stop HH being trivial. Or is that OK, and one can speak of the trivial group as a pp-Sylow subgroup of itself for any pp? Don’t we need positive powers of pp?

    Nothing stops HH from being trivial or of order prime to pp; there the pp-Sylow subgroup is trivial as you surmise.

    There are some people who insist on pp-groups and pp-subgroups being nontrivial, e.g., Steven Roman in Fundamentals of Group Theory, pp. 80-81, but I guess this is just a convention.
