Abstract

For Γ\Gamma a group of order mpmp for pp prime where gcd(p,m)=1gcd(p,m)=1, we consider those regular subgroups NPerm(Γ)N\leq Perm(\Gamma) normalized by λ(Γ)\lambda(\Gamma), the left regular representation of Γ\Gamma. These subgroups are in one-to-one correspondence with the Hopf-Galois structures on separable field extensions L/KL/K with Γ=Gal(L/K)\Gamma=Gal(L/K). This is a follow up to the author's earlier work where, by assuming p>mp>m, one has that all such NN lie within the normalizer of the pp-Sylow subgroup of λ(Γ)\lambda(\Gamma). Here we show that one only need assume that all groups of a given order mpmp have a unique pp-Sylow subgroup, and that pp not be a divisor of the automorphism groups of any group of order mm. As such, we extend the applicability of the program for computing these regular subgroups NN and concordantly the corresponding Hopf-Galois structures on separable extensions of degree mpmp.
