Sylow p-subgroup


If (G,*) is a group then any subgroupMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of order pa for any integer a is called a p-subgroupPlanetmathPlanetmath. If |G|=pam, where pm then any subgroup S of G with |S|=pa is a Sylow p-subgroup. We use Sylp(G) for the set of Sylow p-groupsMathworldPlanetmath of G.

More generally, if G is any group (not necessarily finite), a Sylow p-subgroup is a maximal p-subgroup of G.
