A note on a result of Kong about \(p\)-nilpotency (Q2407722)

This paper is aimed at correcting the proof of the main result in [\textit{Q. Kong}, Monatsh. Math. 175, No. 1, 133--138 (2014; Zbl 1298.20026)]. Let \(G\) be a finite group, \(H\) a subgroup of \(G\). \(H\) is said to be \(S\)-quasinormally embedded in \(G\) if for each prime \(p\) dividing \(H\), a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of \(H\) is also a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of some S-quasinormal subgroup of \(G\). The main result of the above-mentioned paper is as follows. If \(P\) is a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of \(G\), \(p\) an odd prime, there is a proper subgroup \(D\) of \(P\) such that any subgroup \(H\) of \(P\) with \(|H|=|D|\) is \(S\)-quasinormally embedded in \(G\) and \(N_G(H)\) is \(p\)-nilpotent then \(G\) is \(p\)-nilpotent. The authors deduce this from the result of \textit{A. Ballester-Bolinches} and \textit{Y. Li} [Monatsh. Math. 172, No. 3--4, 247--257 (2013; Zbl 1294.20024)].
