Local conjugacy in prosolvable groups

Abstract

For prosolvable groups, we provide conditions under which two locally conjugate supplements of a normal pronilpotent subgroup are conjugate, analogous to those given by Losey and Stonehewer for finite groups. Our proof relies on a primary-type decomposition of the first cohomology set which may be of independent interest. We also give local conditions for subgroup inclusion and a fixed-point result in the style of Glauberman.
