It can be shown that there exists a unique parabolic subgroup $P$ minimally containing $S_\\ell$. We prove that there exists a simple system of $W$ such that $P$ is a standard parabolic subgroup and $N_W(S_\\ell)=N_{P}(S_\\ell) \\rtimes U,$ where $U$ is the setwise stabiliser of the simple roots of $P$. We also determine when an analogous decomposition of the normaliser of a Sylow $\\ell$-subgroup exists when we replace $P$ by a reflection subgroup minimally containing $S_\\ell$. Furthermore, it is shown that if $W$ is crystallographic and has no proper parabolic subgroup containing a Sylow $\\ell$-subgroup of $W$, then there is a Sylow $\\ell$-subgroup normalised by the Dynkin diagram automorphisms of $W$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-08T06:59:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F55", "20D20" ], "keywords": [ "sylow subgroups", "normaliser", "finite reflection group", "standard parabolic subgroup", "dynkin diagram automorphisms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
