p-groups #
This file contains a proof that if G
is a p
-group acting on a finite set α
,
then the number of fixed points of the action is congruent mod p
to the cardinality of α
.
It also contains proofs of some corollaries of this lemma about existence of fixed points.

If gcd(p,n) = 1
, then the n

If G
is a p
-group acting on a finite set α
, then the number of fixed points
of the action is congruent mod p
to the cardinality of α
If a p-group acts on α
and the cardinality of α
is not a multiple
of p
then the action has a fixed point.
If a p-group acts on α
and the cardinality of α
is a multiple
of p
, and the action has one fixed point, then it has another fixed point.
finite p-groups with different p have coprime orders
The cardinality of the center
of a p
-group is p ^ k
where k
is positive.
The quotient by the center of a group of cardinality p ^ 2
is cyclic.
A group of order p ^ 2
is commutative. See also IsPGroup.commutative_of_card_eq_prime_sq
for just the proof that ∀ a b, a * b = b * a
