Abstract

It is shown that a Carter subgroup of a non-soluble unitary group can only be the normalizer of a Sylow 2-subgroup. This result, combined with previous results, implies that no finite simple group can be a minimal counterexample to the conjugacy conjecture of Carter subgroups in a finite group.The third author was partially supported by the University of Padova, the RFBR, grants 02-01-00495 and 02-01-06226, Ministry of Education RF, E00-1.0-77, ‘Universities of Russia’ UR.04.01.031.
