Sylow theorems #
The Sylow theorems are the following results for every finite group G
and every prime number p
.
- There exists a Sylow
p
-subgroup ofG
. - All Sylow
p
-subgroups ofG
are conjugate to each other. - Let
nₚ
be the number of Sylowp
-subgroups ofG
, thennₚ
divides the index of the Sylowp
-subgroup,nₚ ≡ 1 [MOD p]
, andnₚ
is equal to the index of the normalizer of the Sylowp
-subgroup inG
.

Instances For
If H
is a p
-subgroup but not a Sylow p
-subgroup of cardinality p ^ n
,
then p ^ (n + 1)
divides the cardinality of the normalizer of H
.
If H
is a subgroup of G
of cardinality p ^ n
,
then H
is contained in a subgroup of cardinality p ^ (n + 1)
if p ^ (n + 1)
divides the cardinality of G
If H
is a subgroup of G
of cardinality p ^ n
,
then H
is contained in a subgroup of cardinality p ^ m
if n ≤ m
and p ^ m
divides the cardinality of G
A special case of Sylow's first theorem. If G
is a p
-group and H
a subgroup of size at
least p ^ n
then there is a subgroup of H
of cardinality p ^ n
.
A special case of Sylow's first theorem. If G
is a p
-group and H
a subgroup of size at
least k
then there is a subgroup of H
of cardinality between k / p
and k
