Title: How big is the Sylow p-subgroup of an irreducible solvable subgroup of GL(d,p^f)?

Abstract: Let G be a subgroup of GL(d,q) with q = p^f, where p is a prime. The order |G|_p of a Sylow p-subgroup of G is at most p^{d(d-1)f/2}. We prove that if G is solvable and completely reducible, then there is a much smaller bound. Our first bound |G|_p e p^{(d-1)f} has recently been improved to |G|_p e 2^{(d-1)f} if p e 3. With thought, the hypothesis of solvability can be eliminated!

This is joint work with Michael Giudici, Cai Heng Li and Gabriel Verret.
