In this short article, we give a summary of the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the finite simple groups of classical Lie type.

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $n$ be a natural number. In this article we determine the irreducible constituents of the permutation module induced by the action of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on the cosets of a Sylow $p$-subgroup…

The paper explores the effect of powerful class of Sylow $p$-subgroups of a given finite group on control of transfer or fusion. We also find an explicit bound for the $p$-length of a $p$-solvable group in terms of the poweful class of a…

One part of Sylow's famous theorem in group theory states that the number of Sylow p-subgroups of a finite group is always congruent to 1 modulo p. Conversely, Marshall Hall has shown that not every positive integer $n\equiv 1\pmod{p}$…

For a prime p, we call a positive integer n a Frobenius p-number if there exists a finite group with exactly n subgroups of order p^a for some $a\ge 0$. Extending previous results on Sylow's theorem, we prove in this paper that every…

We show that the Sylow $p$-subgroups of a symmetric group, respectively an alternating group, are characterized as the $p$-subgroups containing all elementary abelian $p$-subgroups up to conjugacy of the symmetric group, respectively the…

We describe the Sylow subgroups of Gal(Q) for an odd prime p, by observing and studying their decomposition as a semidirect product of Z_p acting on F, where F is a free pro-p group, and Z_p are the p-adic integers. We determine the finite…

Suppose that the finite group $G=AB$ is a mutually permutable product of two subgroups $A$ and $B$. By using Sylow numbers of $A$ and $B$, we present some new bounds of the $p$-length $l_p(G)$ of a $p$-solvable group $G$ and the nilpotent…

We introduce a strong form of Oliver's p-group conjecture and derive a reformulation in terms of the modular representation theory of a quotient group. The Sylow p-subgroups of the symmetric group S_n and of the general linear group…

We classify Sylow $p$-subgroups of finite groups whose principal $p$-blocks have precisely six ordinary irreducible characters.

Let G be a finite p-solvable group and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Suppose that $\gamma_{l(p-1)}(P)\subseteq \gamma_r(P)^{p^s}$ for $l(p-1)<r+s(p-1)$, then the p-length is bounded by a function depending on l.

Let $p\ge 5$ be a prime and let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite symmetric group. To every irreducible character of $P$ we associate a collection of labelled, complete $p$-ary trees. The main results of this article describe Sylow…

P(n,s) denotes the number of permutations of 1,2,...n that have exactly s sequences. Canfield and Wilf [math.CO/0609704] recently showed that P(n,s) can be written as a sum of s polynomials in n. We determine these polynomials explicitly…

In this paper, we focus on Oliver's $p$-group conjecture. We use elementary method to prove that Oliver's $p$-group conjecture holds for Sylow $p$-subgroups of unitary groups.

Extending earlier results of the authors on minimal polynomials of $p$-elements of finite groups of Lie type in cross-characteristic representations, this paper focuses on the case where Sylow $p$-subgroups are cyclic and $p$ is distinct…

The groups of order 64p without a normal sylow p-subgroup are listed, and their automorphism groups are also determined. As a by-product of our original effort to get these groups, we needed to determine the automorphism groups of those…

We restrict irreducible characters of alternating groups of degree divisible by $p$ to their Sylow $p$-subgroups and study the number of linear constituents.

We explicitly determine all of the transitive groups of degree p-squared, p a prime, whose Sylow p-subgroup is not the wreath product of two cyclic groups of order p. Furthermore, we provide a general description of the transitive groups of…

In this paper, we consider semi-extraspecial $p$-groups $G$ that have an automorphism of order $|G:G'| - 1$. We prove that these groups are isomorphic to Sylow $p$-subgroups of ${\rm SU}_3 (p^{2a})$ for some integer $a$. If $p$ is odd, this…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Denote a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $GL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n)$ and $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n)$ by $S_p(n,GL)$ and $S_p(n,SL)$ respectively. The theory of stable elements tells us that the mod-$p$ cohomology of a finite group is…
