In this paper we provide characterizations of p-nilpotency for fusion systems and p-local finite groups that are inspired by known result for finite groups. In particular, we generalize criteria by Atiyah, Brunetti, Frobenius, Quillen, Stammbach and Tate.

let h be a subgroup of a group g. h is said to be s-embedded in g if g has a normal t such that ht is an s-permutable subgroup of g and h ∩ t ≤ h sg, where h denotes the subgroup generated by all those subgroups of h which are s-permutable in g. in this paper, we investigate the influence of minimal s-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups. we determine the structure the finite grou...

let $g$ be a $p$-group of nilpotency class $k$ with finite exponent $exp(g)$ and let $m=lfloorlog_pk floor$. we show that $exp(m^{(c)}(g))$ divides $exp(g)p^{m(k-1)}$, for all $cgeq1$, where $m^{(c)}(g)$ denotes the c-nilpotent multiplier of $g$. this implies that $exp( m(g))$ divides $exp(g)$, for all finite $p$-groups of class at most $p-1$. moreover, we show that our result is an improvement...
