Title: On finite groups of $p$-local rank one and a conjecture of Robinson

Status: PhD thesis (1999)


Author: Charles W. Eaton

Abstract: We use Clifford-theoretic reductions and the classification of finite simple groups to prove a conjecture of Robinson, and also Dade's projective conjecture, for finite groups in which every pair of Sylow $p$-subgroups intersects in $O_p(G)$.
