Expansion of normal subsets of odd-order elements in finite groups

Group Theory 2025-07-11 v1

Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and KK a normal subset consisting of odd-order elements. The rational closure of KK, denoted DK\mathbf D_K, is the set of elements xGx \in G with the property that x=y\langle x \rangle = \langle y \rangle for some yy in KK. If K2DKK^2 \subseteq \mathbf D_K, we prove that K\langle K \rangle is soluble.
