Show that the groups of the following orders have a normal Sylow
subgroup.
(a) |G| = pq where p and q are
primes.
(b) |G| = paq where p and
q are primes and q < p.
(c) |G| = 4p where p is a prime greater than
four.
Let G be a nonabelian group of order 253=23(11), let P<G be a
Sylow 23-subgroup and Q<G a Sylow 11-subgroup.
a. What are the orders of P and Q. (Explain and include any
theorems used).
b. How many distinct conjugates of P and Q are there in G? n23?
n11? (Explain, include any theorems used).
c. Prove that G is isomorphic to the semidirect product of P and
Q.
Find a p-Sylow subgroup for each of the given groups, and prime
p:
a. In Z24 a 2-sylow subgroup
b. In S4 a 2-sylow subgroup
c. In A4 a 3-sylow subgroup
D4 = {(1),(1, 2, 3, 4),(1, 3)(2, 4),(1, 4, 3, 2),(1,
2)(3, 4),(1, 4)(2, 3),(2, 4),(1, 3)}
M = {(1),(1, 4)(2, 3)}
N = {(1),(1, 4)(2, 3),(1, 3)(2, 4),(1, 2)(3, 4)}
Show that M is a subgroup N; N is a subgroup D4, but
that M is not a subgroup of D4
Use the classification of groups with six elements to show that
A(4) has no subgroup with 6 elements. [ Hint: check that the
product of any two elements of A(4) of order 2 has order 2]
