Lisi–Sabatini conjecture on simultaneous minimal intersections of Sylow subgroups
Lisi–Sabatini conjecture on simultaneous minimal intersections of Sylow subgroups
Let be a finite group with distinct prime divisors
and let be a Sylow -subgroup of .
Lisi–Sabatini conjecture. There exists an element such that, for each , is inclusion-minimal in the set
The conjecture generalizes the problem of finding conjugates with small intersections of Sylow subgroups. It is proved for metanilpotent groups of odd order and all sufficiently large alternating and symmetric groups, while the general case remains open.
