Given a group $G$ and two conjugated subgroups $ H $ and $ H'=gHg^{-1} $, is the following proposition true?
There are only two possibilities for the subgroups: either $ H\cap H' = 1 $ or $ H=H'$.
I think that these result it's false, but I can't find a counterexample (maybe it's true). Please help me.
Steve D's comment highlights what can happen if the group $G$ has a non-identity normal $2$-subgroup, but $H$ is a Sylow $2$-subgroup which is not normal. Most finite simple groups have a pair of Sylow $2$-subgroups $H$ and $K$ such that $H \cap K \neq 1,$ while $H$ and $K$ are obviously conjugate. An explicit example is the simple group $G = {\rm PSL}(2,11).$
