The Average Sylow Multiplicity Character and the Solvable Residual

Let G be a finite group, and let p₁,…, p_m be the distinct prime divisors of |G|. Given a sequence 𝒫 =P₁,…, P_m, of Sylow p_i-subgroups of G, and g ∈ G, denote by m_𝒫(g) the number of factorizations g = g₁…g_m such that g_i ∈ P_i. The properly normalized average of m_𝒫 over all 𝒫 is a complex character over G whose kernel contains the solvable radical of G [7 Levy , D. ( 2010 ).

The present paper characterizes the solvable residual of G in terms of this character.
