Theorem 9.6 (Cauchy’s Theorem). If \( p \) is a prime number that divides \( \left| G\right| \), then \( G \) has an element \( g \) of order \( p \), and therefore a subgroup \( \langle g\rangle \) of order \( p \) .
Proof. Because \( p \) is prime, if I find some \( g \neq e \) satisfying \( {g}^{p} = e \), then \( g \) must have order \( p \) . Exercise 9.15 asks you to explain why this is so, but for now I use the fact without justification.\n\nIn most groups there are lots of ways to multiply \( p \) group elements together and...

Theorem 9.8. If a p-group \( G \) acts on a set \( S \), then the order of \( S \) and the number of stable elements in \( S \) are congruent mod \( p \) .
Proof. As in the proof of Theorem 9.5, the size of each orbit must divide the order of \( G \) . In this case, only powers of \( p \) divide \( \left| G\right| \), so the orbits are therefore of various sizes including \( 1, p,{p}^{2},{p}^{3} \), up to at most \( {p}^{n} \) . So simply modify the illustration for Theor...

Theorem 9.9. If \( H \) is a p-subgroup of \( G \), then \( \left\lbrack {{N}_{G}\left( H\right) : H}\right\rbrack { \equiv }_{p}\left\lbrack {G : H}\right\rbrack \) .
Proof. Let \( S \) be the left cosets of \( H \) in \( G \) and consider the group \( H \) acting on \( S \) by the interpretation homomorphism \( \phi : G \rightarrow \operatorname{Perm}\left( S\right) \) defined by\n\n\[ \phi \left( h\right) = \text{the permutation that sends a coset}{gH}\text{to the coset}{hgH}\text...

Theorem 9.10 (First Sylow Theorem). If \( G \) is a group and \( {p}^{n} \) is the highest power of \( p \) dividing \( \left| G\right| \), then there are subgroups of \( G \) of every order \( 1, p,{p}^{2},{p}^{3} \), up to \( {p}^{n} \) . Also, every p-subgroup with fewer than \( {p}^{n} \) elements is inside one of ...
Proof. It is easy to find a \( p \) -subgroup of order 1 (which is \( {p}^{0} \) ) because it is obviously \( \{ e\} \) . We also know that there is a \( p \) -subgroup of order \( p \) (which is \( {p}^{1} \) ) from Cauchy’s

Theorem 9.12 (Second Sylow Theorem). Any two Sylow p-subgroups are conjugates.
Proof. I use again the strategy described after the statement of Theorem 9.9. Let \( S \) be the left cosets of some Sylow \( p \) -subgroup \( H < G \) and have another Sylow \( p \) -subgroup \( K \) act on \( S \) by left multiplication (as in the proof of Theorem 9.9).\n\nA stable element of this action is a left c...
Yes
Theorem 9.13 (Third Sylow Theorem). The number \( n \) of Sylow p-subgroups of \( G \) obeys the following two restrictions.\n\n\( n \) divides \( \left| G\right| \)\n\[ n{ \equiv }_{p}1 \]
Proof. The first of the two restrictions is the easier to prove. Let \( H \) be one of the \( n \) Sylow \( p \) -subgroups of \( G \) . We know that the set of Sylow \( p \) -subgroups is the set of conjugates of \( H \) . Another way to say this is that if \( G \) acts on its subgroups by conjugation, then the set of...
