What does $O_p(G)$ mean in the context of a Fitting subgroup of $G$?












1












$begingroup$


I asked this question as a comment on this old, probably abandoned question about the Fitting subgroup $F(G)$ of a group $G$.



It was stated in the question that




$F(G)$ is the product of all $O_p(G)$ for all prime $p$.




(Edit: Derek Holt pointed out below that $G$ must be finite here.)



I'm just curious. I couldn't find the notation in any of the obvious places, like in the results of a simple Google search. I'm interested in the theorem quoted above.



The closest thing I've seen before is the notation for the ring of integers in the context of algebraic number theory, which is way off.






group-theory notation direct-product

    By the way, the result in question applies only to finite groups. For general groups $F(G)$ is not always defined.

$O_p(G)$ is the $p$-core of the finite group $G$. This is the intersection of all its Sylow $p$-subgroups, and is the largest normal $p$-subgroup of $G$.

When does type information flow backwards in C++?

Image
up vote 62 down vote favorite 19 I just watched Stephan T. Lavavej talk at CppCon 2018 on "Class Template Argument Deduction", where at some point he incidentally says: In C++ type information almost never flows backwards ... I had to say "almost" because there's one or two cases, possibly more but very few . Despite trying to figure out which cases he might be referring to, I couldn't come up with anything. Hence the question: In which cases the C++17 standard mandates that type information propagate backwards? c++ language-lawyer c++17 share | improve this question edited 7 hours ago scohe0
