Local Subgroups and Group Algebras of Finite p-Solvable Groups

Let p be a prime, k an algebraically closed field ofcharacteristic p, and G a finite group with a Sylowp-Subgroup P. In this paper, we consider the property thatNG(P)/P is Abelian. We provide somenecessary or sufficient conditions NG(P)/P to be Abelian in term of thestructure of the group algebra kG as a k-algebra, in casethat G is p-nilpotent or of p-length 1.
