Two Open Ended Questions in Sylow Theory

54 Views Asked by At

Sylow Theorems are very powerful in finite group theory.

Two natural questions come to mind:

1) Given a finite group $G$ and a $p$-subgroup $H$ of $G$, how many Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$ contain $H$?

2) Let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $k$ be a fixed positive integer. How many subgroups of $G$ of order $p^k$ are contained in $P$?

Does anybody know of if there are some results which address the above two questions?

Thanks.
