How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Frobenius normal p complement theorem
Statement
Let be a finite group, a prime and a Sylow -subgroup (Sylow -subgroups of a finite group). The following are equivalent.
(a) has a normal -complement (Normal p complement and p nilpotent group); (b) every nontrivial -local normalizer with has a normal -complement (P local normalizer for normal complement theory); (c) controls fusion in with respect to (Control of fusion in a sylow p subgroup).
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite group , a prime and a Sylow -subgroup .
(a) implies (b): if has a normal -complement, then has a normal -complement for every nontrivial -subgroup (Normal p complements pass to subgroups and p local normalizers, P local normalizer for normal complement theory).
(b) implies (c): if every nontrivial -local normalizer , , has a normal -complement, then controls fusion in with respect to (Local normal p complements force control of fusion, Control of fusion in a sylow p subgroup).
(c) implies (a): if controls fusion in with respect to , then (Fusion control forces trivial Sylow intersection with the p residual, P residual of a finite group).
is a normal subgroup of , is a finite -group, and (P residual of a finite group, P residual is generated by p prime elements and idempotent, Sylow -subgroups of a finite group, A finite -group has order for a prime and some ).
If then is a subgroup of with in the sense that , and ; in particular, if and , then and (Second isomorphism theorem for groups: , First isomorphism theorem for groups: , If and , then is a subgroup and , If is finite then ; for finite this equals , Lagrange's theorem: for every subgroup of a finite group , Normal subgroup: invariance under conjugation, Subgroup).
Order facts: is the exact power of dividing , all Sylow -subgroups of have this order, and ; if then divides (Sylow -subgroups of a finite group, Lagrange's theorem: for every subgroup of a finite group , A finite -group has order for a prime and some ).
Proof
(a) implies (b): this is [F1].
(b) implies (c): this is [F2].
(c) implies (a). Assume (c). If , then is the exact power of dividing by [F6], so ; then is normal in , and is a power of , so has a normal -complement.
It remains to treat the case under assumption (c). By [F3] we have for , and by [F4] and .
By [F5] applied to the normal subgroup and the subgroup , the equality together with gives and .
Hence is prime to , because is the exact power of dividing by [F6]; and is a power of . Since , the subgroup is a normal -complement of .
We have proved (a)(b) in step 1.1, (b)(c) in step 1.2, and (c)(a) in steps 1.3 and 4.1; hence the three conditions are equivalent. ∎
