Definition
Symbol-free definition
A subgroup of a group is said to be a normal p-complement if it is a normal subgroup and it has a Sylow subgroup (particularly a Sylow -subgroup) as a permutable complement.
A group that has a normal -complement is termed a p-nilpotent group.
Definition with symbols
A subgroup of a group is said to be a normal -complement if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
- is normal in and there is a Sylow -subgroup of such that and is trivial.
- is normal in and for every Sylow -subgroup of , and is trivial.
- is a normal Hall subgroup of whose order is relatively prime to and whose index is a power of . In other words, is a normal -Hall subgroup of .
If contains a normal -complement , we say that is a p-nilpotent group.
Facts
Normal -complements may not always exist.
