ZJ theorem
In mathematics, George Glauberman's ZJ theorem states that if a finite group G is p-constrained and p-stable and has a normal p-subgroup for some odd prime p, then Op′Z is a normal subgroup of G, for any Sylow p-subgroup S.-Notation and definitions:*J is the Thompson subgroup of a p-group S:...
