A Krull-Remak-Schmidt theorem for fusion systems

Group Theory 2022-11-08 v2

Abstract

We prove that the factorization of a saturated fusion system over a discrete pp-toral group as a product of indecomposable subsystems is unique up to normal automorphisms of the fusion system and permutations of the factors. In particular, if the fusion system has trivial center, or if its focal subgroup is the entire Sylow group, then this factorization is unique (up to the ordering of the factors). This result was motivated by questions about automorphism groups of products of fusion systems.
