On the intersection of nilpotent Hall \(\pi \)-subgroups (Q2291672)

Let \(G\) be a \(\pi\)-separable group with a nilpotent Hall \(\pi\)-subgroup and assume that the following conditions hold: if there are Fermat primes or Mersenne primes dividing \(|G|\) but not \(|H|\), then \(H\) does not involves \(Z_2\wr Z_2\); if \(|G|\) is even and \(|H|\) is odd, then there is no Mersenne prime \(p\) such that \(H\) involves \(Z_p\wr Z_p\). Under these assumptions, for any collection of Hall \(\pi\)-subgroups \(H_1,\dots,H_n\) of \(G\), there exists an element \(g \in G\) such that \(H \cap H_1\cap \dots \cap H_n = H \cap H^g\). This generalizes a theorem of \textit{G. R. Robinson} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 90, 21--24 (1984; Zbl 0505.20015)] and a result of \textit{B. Brewster} and \textit{P. Hauck} [J. Algebra 206, No. 1, 261--292 (1998; Zbl 0932.20018)] giving a unified proof.
