Exercise 14.1.3
Let satisfy (14.2). Use (14.2) and the Third Sylow Theorem to prove that has a unique p-Sylow subgroup of order . Then conclude that is normal in .
Answers
Proof. By (14.2),
According the Third Sylow Theorem the number of p-Sylow subgroups of G satisfies
so that , thus , and , therefore . If , then , but , which implies . This contradiction shows that , and , i.e. there is exactly one -Sylow subgroup of .
For all , is also a -Sylow subgroup of , hence for all : is normal in . □
