Brauer–Suzuki theorem

Brauer–Suzuki theorem

In mathematics, the Brauer-Suzuki theorem states that if a finite group has a generalized quaternion Sylow 2-subgroup and no non-trivial normal subgroups of odd order, then the group has a centre of order 2. In particular, such a group cannot be simple.

A generalization of the Brauer-Suzuki theorem is given by Glauberman's Z* theorem.

The theorem is named after the mathematicians Michio Suzuki and Richard Brauer.
