Lisi–Sabatini conjecture for simple groups

Let GG be a finite simple group, let π(G)\pi(G) be the set of prime divisors of G|G|, and for each pπ(G)p \in \pi(G) let HpH_p be a Sylow pp-subgroup of GG.

Lisi–Sabatini conjecture for simple groups. There exists an element xGx \in G such that

HpHpx=1H_p \cap H_p^x = 1

for all pπ(G)p \in \pi(G).

This is the simple-group consequence of the Lisi–Sabatini conjecture together with the cited theorem of Mazurov and Zenkov. The paper's abstract indicates that the Lisi–Sabatini conjecture is proved for all non-alternating simple groups, and earlier work handles the relevant alternating groups, so this consequence is established in the paper's setting.
