Hey! :o

I want to show that if $S\in \text{Syl}_p(G)$ and $N\trianglelefteq G$, then $N\cap S\in \text{Syl}_p(N)$. Could you give me some hints how we could show that? (Wondering)

Do we maybe use Frattini's Argument? (Wondering)
From that we have that since $N\trianglelefteq G$ and $S\in \text{Syl}_p(G)$, $G=NN_G(P)=N_G(P)N$, right? (Wondering)
But does this help us? (Wondering)

I have done the following:

Since $S\in \text{Syl}_p(G)$, i.e., $S\leq G$, and $N\trianglelefteq G$ we have that $NS\leq G$.

We have that $|NS|=\frac{|N||S|}{|N\cap S|}\Rightarrow \frac{|NS|}{|S|}=\frac{|N|}{|N\cap S|}\Rightarrow [NS:S]=[N:N\cap S]$

Since $S\in \text{Syl}_p(G)$ we have that $[G:S]$ is coprime with $p$.
We have that $[G:S]=[G:NS][NS:S]$.
Since $[NS:S]\mid [G:S]$, $[N:N\cap S]=[NS:S]$ is coprime with $p$.
Since $N\cap S\leq S$, from Lagrange's theorem we have that $|N\cap S|\mid |S|$.
Since $S\in \text{Syl}_p(G)$, if $|G|=p^na$, with $p\not\mid a$, then $|S|=p^n$.
Then $|N\cap S|=p^m$, with $0<m\leq n$.
Since $|N\cap S|=p^m$ and $[N:N\cap S]$ is coprime with $p$, we have that $N\cap P\in \text{Syl}_p(N)$.

Is everything correct? (Wondering)

It looks like it to me.

Ah ok... Thank you! (Smile)
 
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##?

The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
