Let GG be a finite group and pp a prime divisor of the order of GG. Give the definition of a Sylow pp-subgroup of GG, and state Sylow's theorems.

Let pp and qq be distinct primes. Prove that a group of order p2qp^{2} q is not simple.

Let GG be a finite group, HH a normal subgroup of GG and PP a Sylow pp-subgroup of H. Let NG(P)N_{G}(P) denote the normaliser of PP in GG. Prove that if gGg \in G then there exist kNG(P)k \in N_{G}(P) and hHh \in H such that g=khg=k h.
