Abstract:
We prove analogues of results of Glauberman and Thompson for fusion systems. Namely, given a (saturated) fusion system $\mathcal {F}$ on a finite $p$-group $S$, and in the cases where $p$ is odd or $\mathcal {F}$ is $S_4$-free, we show that $\mathrm {Z}(\mathrm {N}_{\mathcal {F}}(\mathrm {J}(S))) =\mathrm {Z}(\mathcal {F})$ (Glauberman) and that if $\mathrm {C}_{\mathcal {F}} (\mathrm {Z}(S))=\mathrm {N}_{\mathcal {F}}(\mathrm {J}(S))=\mathcal {F}_S(S)$, then $\mathcal {F}=\mathcal {F}_S(S)$ (Thompson). As a corollary, we obtain a stronger form of Frobenius’ theorem for fusion systems, applicable under the above assumptions and generalizing another result of Thompson.References
