“Finite groups of rank two which do not involve Qd(p)”
Abstract: Let p>3 be a prime. We prove that if G is a finite group with p-rank equal to 2, then G involves Qd(p) if and only if G p’-involves Qd(p). This allows us to use a version of Glauberman’s ZJ-theorem to give a more direct construction of finite group actions on mod-p homotopy spheres.
We give two examples to illustrate that the above conclusion does not hold for p=2, 3.
This is joint work with Yasir Kızmaz. The work was supported by Tübitak 1001 project (grant no: 116F194).
