Review text

If \(H\) and \(K\) are two subsets of a finite group, then the probability that two randomly chosen elements from \(H\) and \(K\) commute is given by \(\operatorname{Pr}(H, K) = |\{(x, y) \in H \times K | x y = yx\}|/ (|H| |K|)\).\N\NThe authors show that show that if \(G\) is a profinite group containing a Sylow \(2\)-subgroup \(P\), a Sylow \(3\)-subgroup \(Q_3\) and a Sylow \(5\)-subgroup \(Q_5\) such that \(\operatorname{Pr}(P, Q_3)\) and \(\operatorname{Pr}(P, Q_5)\) are both positive, then \(G\) is virtually prosoluble (Theorem 1). Furthermore, if \(G\) is a prosoluble group in which for every subset \(\pi \subseteq \pi(G)\) there is a Hall \(\pi\)-subgroup \(H_\pi\) and a Hall \(\pi'\) -subgroup \(H_\pi'\) such that \(\operatorname{Pr}(H_\pi , H_\pi') > 0\), then \(G\) is virtually pronilpotent.
