The FSZ properties of sporadic simple groups
Abstract
We investigate a possible connection between the properties of a group and its Sylow subgroups. We show that the simple groups and , as well as all sporadic simple groups with order divisible by are not , and that neither are their Sylow 5-subgroups. The groups and were previously established as non- by Peter Schauenburg; we present alternative proofs. All other sporadic simple groups and their Sylow subgroups are shown to be . We conclude by considering all perfect groups available through GAP with order at most , and show they are non- if and only if their Sylow 5-subgroups are non-.

v2: 27 pages; minor title change; added the projective symplectic group PSp(6,5); various typo fixes; GAP code moved from an appendix into an earlier section; added in the code section that all groups of order less than 2016 (except possibly those of order 1024) have been verified as FSZ
