Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and pp be a prime. We denote by Cp(G)C_p(G) the poset of all cosets of pp-subgroups of GG. We characterize the homotopy type of the geometric realization ΔCp(G)|\Delta C_p(G)| for pp-closed groups GG, which is motivated by K.S.Brown's Question. We will further demonstrate that χ(Cp(G))Gp(modp)\chi(C_{p}(G)) \equiv |G|_{p'} (\text{mod} p) for any finite group GG and any prime pp.
