p-groups #
This file contains a proof that if G is a p-group acting on a finite set α,
then the number of fixed points of the action is congruent mod p to the cardinality of α.
It also contains proofs of some corollaries of this lemma about existence of fixed points.
A p-group is a group in which every element has prime power order
If G is a p-group acting on a finite set α, then the number of fixed points
of the action is congruent mod p to the cardinality of α
If a p-group acts on α and the cardinality of α is not a multiple
of p then the action has a fixed point.
If a p-group acts on α and the cardinality of α is a multiple
of p, and the action has one fixed point, then it has another fixed point.
finite p-groups with different p have coprime orders
p-groups with different p are disjoint
