Cosets of normal subgroups and powers of conjugacy classes

[EN] Let G be a finite group and let K=xG be the conjugacy class of an element x of G. In this paper, it is proved that if N is a normal subgroup of G such that the coset xN is the union of K and K-1 (the conjugacy class of the inverse of x), then N and the subgroup ¿K¿ are solvable.

Description
Summary:[EN] Let G be a finite group and let K=xG be the conjugacy class of an element x of G. In this paper, it is proved that if N is a normal subgroup of G such that the coset xN is the union of K and K-1 (the conjugacy class of the inverse of x), then N and the subgroup ¿K¿ are solvable. As an application, we prove that if there exists a natural number n >= 2 such that Kn=K?K-1, then ¿K¿ is solvable.
