Element orders and Sylow structure of finite groups. (Q2580987)

Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(p\neq q\) prime factors of \(|G|\). The main result of this paper states that if \(G\) does not have any element of order \(pq\), then one of the following holds: (1) The Sylow \(p\)-subgroups or the Sylow \(q\)-subgroups of \(G\) are Abelian. (2) \(G/O_{\{p,q\}'}(G)=M\) and \(\{p,q\}=\{5,13\}\) or \(\{7,13\}\), where \(M\) is the Monster. This result is an extension of previous investigations of \textit{N. Chigira, N. Iiyori} and \textit{H. Yamaki} [Invent. Math. 139, No. 3, 525-539 (2000; Zbl 0961.20017)].
