Abstract

After proving a strong version of Alperin’s Fusion Theorem, we derived some properties of essential subgroups in fusion systems. By using the classification of the strongly p-embedded subgroups we restrictions on the automorphism groups of essential subgroups. This leads to consequences in small cases.
