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 ofGare conjugate to each other. - Let
nₚbe the number of Sylowp-subgroups ofG, thennₚdivides the index of the Sylowp-subgroup,nₚ ≡ 1 [MOD p], andnₚis equal to the index of the normalizer of the Sylowp-subgroup inG.

A generalization of Sylow's first theorem.
Every p-subgroup is contained in a Sylow p-subgroup.
If a Sylow p-subgroup has finite index, then the number of Sylow p-subgroups is finite.
Subgroup.pointwiseMulAction preserves Sylow subgroups.
A generalization of Sylow's second theorem.
If the number of Sylow p-subgroups is finite, then all Sylow p-subgroups are conjugate.
Sylow subgroups are isomorphic
Instances For
A Sylow p-subgroup has index indivisible by p.
Frattini's Argument: If N is a normal subgroup of G, and if P is a Sylow p-subgroup
of N, then N_G(P) ⊔ N = G.
Frattini's Argument: If N is a normal subgroup of G, and if P is a Sylow p-subgroup
of N, then N_G(P) ⊔ N = G.
The fixed points of the action of H on its cosets correspond to normalizer H / H.
Instances For
If H is a p-subgroup of G, then the index of H inside its normalizer is congruent
mod p to the index of H.
If H is a p-subgroup but not a Sylow p-subgroup, then p divides the
index of H inside its normalizer.
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.
The cardinality of a Sylow subgroup is p ^ n
where n is the multiplicity of p in the group order.
