Abstract
We find a necessary and sufficient condition for an element of prime order in a finite group to be in a normalp-subgroup. This generalizes the Baer-Suzuki Theorem. Our proof depends on a result about elements of prime order contained in a unique maximal subgroup containing a result of Wielandt. We discuss various consequences, linear and algebraic group versions of the result.
