\begin{theorem}[Cyclic Groups of Order $\mathbf{pq}$]
|

If $G$ is a group of order $pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are primes, $p < q$, and $p$ does not divide $q - 1$, then $G$ is cyclic. In particular, $G$ is isomorphic to $\Z_{pq}$.

\begin{definition}[Conjugacy Class of $\mathbf{a}$]
|
||||
Let $a$ and $b$ be elements of a group $G$. We say that $a$ and $b$ are \textit{conjugate} in $G$ (and call $b$ the \textit{conjugate} of $a$) if $xax^{-1}=b$ for some $x$ in $G$. The \textit{conjugacy class of $a$} is the set $\cl(a) = \{xax^{-1}\ \vert\ x \in G\}$.

\begin{theorem}[Number of Conjugates of $\mathbf{a}$]
|

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $a$ be an element of $G$. Then, $\abs{\cl(a)} = \abs{G:C(a)}$.

\begin{corollary}[$\mathbf{\abs{\cl(a)}}$ Divides $\mathbf{\abs{G}}$]
|
||||
In a finite group, $\abs{\cl(a)}$ divides $\abs{G}$.

\begin{corollary}[Class Equation]
|
||||
For any finite group $G$,
|
||||
\[ \abs{G} = \sum \abs{G:C(a)} \]

where the sum runs over one element of $a$ from each conjugacy class of $G$.

\section{The Sylow Theorems}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{theorem}[Existence of Subgroups of Prime-Power Order (Sylow's First Theorem, 1872)]
|
||||
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. If $p^k$ divides $\abs{G}$, then $G$ has at least one subgroup of order $p^k$.
|
||||
\end{theorem}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{definition}[Sylow $\mathbf{p}$-Subgroup]
|
||||
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. If $p^k$ divides $\abs{G}$ and $p^{k+1}$ does not divide $\abs{G}$, then any subgroup of $G$ of order $p^k$ is called a \textit{Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$}.
|
||||
\end{definition}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{corollary}[Cauchy's Theorem]
|
||||
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime that divides the order of $G$. Then $G$ has an element of order $p$.
|
||||
\end{corollary}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{definition}[Conjugate Subgroups]
|
||||
Let $H$ and $K$ be subgroups of a group $G$. We say that $H$ and $K$ are \textit{conjugate} in $G$ if there is an element in $G$ such that $H = gKg^{-1}$.
|
||||
\end{definition}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{theorem}[Sylow's Second Theorem]
|
||||
If $H$ is a subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $\abs{H}$ is a power of a prime $p$, then $H$ is contained in some Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$.
|
||||
\end{theorem}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{theorem}[Sylow's Third Theorem]
|
||||
Let $p$ be a prime and let $G$ be a group of order $p^km$, where $p$ does not divide $m$. Then the number $n$ of Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$ is equal to 1 modulo $p$ and divides $m$. Furthermore, any two Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$ are conjugate.
|
||||
\end{theorem}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{corollary}[A Unique Sylow $\mathbf{p}$-Subgroup Is Normal]
|
||||
A Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ if and only if it is the only Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$.
