P-constrained group

Type of finite group


Type of finite group

In mathematics, a p-constrained group is a finite group resembling the centralizer of an element of prime order p in a group of Lie type over a finite field of characteristic p. They were introduced by in order to extend some of Thompson's results about odd groups to groups with dihedral Sylow 2-subgroups.

Definition

If a group has trivial p core Op(G), then it is defined to be p-constrained if the p-core Op(G) contains its centralizer, or in other words if its generalized Fitting subgroup is a p-group. More generally, if Op(G) is non-trivial, then G is called p-constrained if G/Op(G) is p-constrained.

All p-solvable groups are p-constrained.
