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)
 
The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
