On connected transversals to subgroups whose order is a product of two primes (Q1372624): Difference between revisions

Recall that two subsets \(A\) and \(B\) of a group \(G\) are said to be \(H\)-connected, \(H\) being a subgroup of \(G\), if \(a^{-1}b^{-1}ab\in H\) for all \(a\in A\) and \(b\in B\). The following result is proven: Let \(H\) be a subgroup of a (finite) group \(G\) such that \(|H|=pq\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are prime numbers, and let \(A\) and \(B\) be \(H\)-connected transversals to \(H\) in \(G\). Then \(G\) is soluble at least in the following cases: (1) \(p=q\); (2) \(q\) is not a factor of \(p-1\); (3) \(q=2\) and \(p\leq 61\); (4) \(q=3\) and \(p\leq 31\); (5) \(q=5\) and \(p=11\).
