Sylow p-subgroup

From AoPSWiki

The title of this article has been romanized due to technical restrictions. The correct title should be Sylow p-subgroup.

A Sylow \boldsymbol{p}-subgroup is a particular type of p-subgroup of a finite group. Specifically, if G is a finite group, then a subgroup P is a Sylow p-subgroup of G if P is a p-group, and p does not divide the index of G.
