On redundant Sylow subgroups

Group Theory 2023-12-12 v4

Abstract

A Sylow p-subgroup P of a finite group G is called redundant if every p-element of G lies in a Sylow subgroup different from P. Generalizing a recent theorem of Mar\'oti--Mart\'inez--Moret\'o, we show that for every non-cyclic p-group P there exists a solvable group G such that P is redundant in G. Moreover, we answer several open questions raised by Mar\'oti--Mart\'inez--Moret\'o.
