Monday July 28th, Lit 368 Pham Tiep (U. Arizona) Nilpotent Hall and abelian Hall subgroups
Abstract: To which extent can one generalize the Sylow theorems? One possible direction is to assume the existence of a nilpotent subgroup whose order and index are coprime. We will discuss recent joint work with various collaborators that gives a criterion to detect the existence of such subgroups in any finite group.
