Abstract:

Let $D$ be a normal set of involutions in a finite group. Form the involutory graph with vertex set $D$ by joining distinct commuting elements of $D$. Assume the product of any two such elements is in $D$, and the graph is disconnected. Then the group generated by $D$ contains a strongly embedded subgroup. Two corollaries are proved.
