Abstract

Let π\pi be a proper subset of the set of all primes. Denote by rr the smallest prime which does not belong to π\pi and set m=rm = r if r=2r = 2 or 33 and m=r1m = r-1 if r5r \geqslant 5. We study the following conjecture: a conjugacy class DD of a finite group GG is contained in the π\pi-radical Oπ(G)\mathrm{O}_\pi(G) of GG if and only if every mm elements of DD generate a π\pi-subgroup. We confirm this conjecture for each group GG whose nonabelian composition factors are isomorphic to sporadic or alternating groups.
