On the permutability of Sylow subgroups with derived subgroups of B-subgroups

POS-groups with some cyclic Sylow subgroups

A finite group G is said to be a POS-group if for each x in G the cardinality of the set {y in G | o(y) = o(x)} is a divisor of the order of G. In this paper we study the structure of POS-groups with some cyclic Sylow subgroups.

Sylow Subgroups in Parallel

Sylow subgroups are fundamental in the design of asymptotically efficient group-theoretic algorithms, just as they have been in the study of the structure of Ž . finite groups. We present efficient parallel NC algorithms for finding and conjugating Sylow subgroups of permutation groups, as well as for related problems. Polynomial-time solutions to these problems were obtained more than a dozen ...

Some Sylow Subgroups

The Sylow Subgroups of the Symmetric Group

In the Sylow theorems f we learn that if the order of a group 2Í is divisible hj pa (p a prime integer) and not by jo*+1, then 31 contains one and only one set of conjugate subgroups of order pa, and any subgroup of 21 whose order is a power of p is a subgroup of some member of this set of conjugate subgroups of 2Í. These conjugate subgroups may be called the Sylow subgroups of 21. It will be o...

The Sylow Subgroups of the Symmetric Groups

The aim of this paper is to give a direct approach to the study of the Sylow ^-subgroups Sn of the symmetric group of degree pn. [We assume throughout that p^2.] Many of the results are already known and are treated in a paper by Kaloujnine where he uses a particular representation by means of "reduced polynomials."1 It has seemed worth while to restate some of his results using the concept of ...
