If \(G\) is a group, \(H\) is a subgroup of \(G\) and there exist two left transversals \(A\) and \(B\) to \(H\) in \(G\) such that \(a^{-1}b^{-1}ab\in H\) whenever \(a\in A\) and \(b\in B\), then we say that \(A\) and \(B\) are \(H\)-connected transversals in \(G\). This concept was introduced by \textit{T. Kepka} and \textit{M. Niemenmaa} [Arch. Math. 60, No. 3, 233-236 (1993; Zbl 0789.20080)]. The main result of this paper is Theorem 3.1 which reads as follows: Let \(G\) be a group, \(H\leq G\) and \(|H|=pq\), where \(p>q\) are odd prime numbers such that \(p=2q^m+1\). If there exist \(H\)-connected transversals \(A\) and \(B\) in \(G\), then \(G\) is solvable. Reviewer's remark: (1) To prove Theorem 3.1 the authors use the Feit-Thompson theorem, may be used a much weaker theorem? (2) What means the theorem in the language of Latin squares?
