A generalization of the Arad--Ward theorem on Hall subgroups (2501.05865v1)

Abstract: For a set of primes $\pi$, denote by $E_\pi$ the class of finite groups containing a Hall $\pi$-subgroup. We establish that $E_{\pi_1}\cap E_{\pi_2}$ is contained in $E_{\pi_1\cap\pi_2}$. As a corollary, we prove that if $\pi$ is a set of primes, $l$ is an integer such that $2\leqslant l<|\pi|$ and $G$ is a finite group that contains a Hall $\rho$-subgroup for every subset $\rho$ of $\pi$ of size $l$, then $G$ contains a solvable Hall $\pi$-subgroup.
