Abstract
Thompson [1] showed that if p is an odd prime number, A is a p-group of operators of the finite group P in which the Frattini subgroup Φ(P) is elementary and central, and P/Φ(P) is a free ZpA-module, then Cp(A) covers CP/Φ(P)(A). Then he proposed the question of whether it is possible in this theorem to weaken the hypothesis that Φ(P) be elementary and central. In the work it is shown that this hypothesis may be replaced by a much weaker one; it is sufficient that P be met-Abelian and have nilpotence class <p. From examples it is seen that the restriction on the nilpotence class of P is essential. As a corollary we obtain the negative solution for all prime numbers p of Gaschutz's problem concerning the conjugacy of Hall p′-subgroups of Sylowizers of a p-subgroup of a solvable group [2].
