Review text

The author uses \(p\)-local analysis arguments, transfer techniques and a certain graph with vertex set \(\text{Syl}_p(G)\) in order to provide an interesting proof (free of CFSG) of the following Theorem. Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(p\) a prime. Then \(G\) is \(p\)-soluble if and only if \(\langle P,g\rangle\) is \(p\)-soluble whenever \(g\in G\) and \(P\in\text{Syl}_p(G)\). The proof of the ``if part goes by analysing the structure of a minimal counterexample, which is a simple nonabelian group and by looking carefully at two separate cases, according to whether a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup contains a noncyclic abelian subgroup or not. Even if the second case could be tackled conveniently by an appeal to Brauer-Suzuki theorem asserting that there are no simple groups with generalized quaternion Sylow 2-subgroups, the author goes the hard way, by providing a fusion argument which, in the given circumstances, does the job.
