Abstract: We prove that for any prime p there exist infinitely many finite simple groups G with a coset xP of a Sylow p-subgroup P of G such that every element of xP has order divisible by p. John Thompson proved this for p=2 in 1967 answering a question of Lowell Paige. This result is used to answer a question of Richard Taylor on adequate representations.
