Abstract:

Our first main result proves that every element of order 4 of a Sylow 2-subgroup S of a minimal non-2-nilpotent group G, is a real element of S. This allows to give a character-free proof of a theorem due to Isaacs and Navarro. As an application, the authors show a common extension of the p-nilpotence criteria proved by Berkovich and Isaacs and Navarro.

Abstract

The influence of the cyclic subgroups of order p or 4 of the focal subgroup of a saturated fusion system F over a p-group S is investigated in this paper. Some criteria for normality of S in F as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for nilpotency of F are given. The resistance of a p-group in which every cyclic subgroup of order p or 4 is normal, and earlier results about p-nilpotence of finite groups and nilpotency of saturated fusion systems are consequences of our study.
