Let G be a finite group and n a divisor of | G |, the order of G. We set Ln(G)={x^G\x =l}. G. Frobenius gave the following conjecture. (F): If \Ln(G)\ =n> then Ln(G) is a normal subgroup of G. Concerning this problem the following results are known. (1) In order to prove (F) we may assume that n and \G\jn are relatively prime. (See [7], [12]) (2) Let G be a minimal counterexample to (F). Then G is a simple group. (See [1], [12], [17]) Since the classification of finite simple groups has been completed, it may be possible to verify (F) by checking simple groups, by using (2). Indeed such verifications have been carried out for certain classes of simple groups by several authors ([1], [8], [9], [14], [16]). However, it may also be desirable to investigate (F) from a more general standpoint. The purpose of this paper is to provide an example of such investigations. For a group G and a prime p, we denote by Gy, the set of ^'-elements, or ^-regular elements, of G and by \G\p the highest power of p dividing | G | . We set \G\p'=\G\l\G\p. We are interested in the following special case of (F).
