p-constrained group
In mathematics, a p-constrained group is a finite group resembling the centralizer of an element of prime order p in a group of Lie type over a finite field of characteristic p. They were introduced by Gorenstein and Walter (1964, p.169) in order to extend some of Thompson's results about odd groups to groups with dihedral Sylow 2-subgroups.
Definition
If a group has trivial p′ core Op′(G), then it is defined to be p-constrained if the p-core Op(G) contains its centralizer, or in other words if its generalized Fitting subgroup is a p-group. More generally, if Op′(G) is non-trivial, then G is called p-constrained if G/ Op′(G) is p-constrained.
All p-solvable groups are p-constrained.
