CARTER SUBGROUP

In mathematics, a 'Carter subgroup' of a finite group ''G'' is a subgroup ''H'' that is a nilpotent group, and self-normalizing. These subgroups were introduced by Roger Carter.
Any finite solvable group has a Carter subgroup, and any two Carter subgroups of a finite solvable group are conjugate subgroups (and therefore isomorphic, ''a fortiori'').
The alternating group A5 of order 60 is an example that has no Carter subgroups.
