Extract

Let G be a simply primitive permutation group on a set Ω of order p2, where p is a prime (necessarily odd). In theorem 27·2 of (9), Wielandt states without proof:

Theorem A. (i) ¦G¦ is not divisible by p3;

(ii) if G has a pair of Sylow p-subgroups with nontrivial intersection, then G has an imprimitive subgroup of index 2 which is the direct product of two intransitive groups.
