The Structure of Groups Possessing Carter Subgroups of Odd Order

  • Published:
Algebra and Logic Aims and scope

Let a group G contain a Carter subgroup of odd order. It is shown that every composition factor of G either is Abelian or is isomorphic to L 2(32n + 1), n ≥ 1. Moreover, if 3 does not divide the order of a Carter subgroup, then G solvable.
