Firstly, the group $\gen a$ +in \cref{lem:lemma-prime-power-order-abelian-groups-factorization} would be a +Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. + +Secondly, this theorem can be derived as a corollary of a more general theorem, +the classfiication of finitely generated abelian groups. This theorem can be +derived as a corollary of a even more general theorem, the classification of +finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain. We will take up these +theorems in the future, but for now these facts are just interesting to note. + + \subsection{Exercises and Problems} \begin{exercise}[Subgroups of finite abelian groups] diff --git a/chapter-group-actions.tex b/chapter-group-actions.tex index b58f647..6d00ca0 100644 --- a/chapter-group-actions.tex +++ b/chapter-group-actions.tex @@ -700,9 +700,6 @@ \section{The class equation and Sylow theorems} \end{proof} - - - \subsection{Problems and exercises} \begin{exercise}[Conjugate of Sylow $p$-subgroup is a Sylow $p$-subgroup] \label{ex:conjugate-of-sylow-subgroup}
