Lower bound for $[ H : H \cap xHx^{-1} ]$

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$, and let $N = N_G(H)$ be the normalizer of $H$ in $G$. For $x \in G$ is there a lower bound for $[ H : H \cap xHx^{-1} ]$?  If $x \in N$ this index is 1, o …

Sylow subgroups invariant under an automorphism

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma$ an automorphism of $G$. Suppose $p$ is a prime and $\sigma$ has prime order $q \neq p$. It's easy to see that $\sigma$ fixes a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ if $\s …
