Exercise 24, § 6

Algebra, I, p. 138

Let GG be a finite group, let HH be a Sylow subgroup of GG and let NN be the normalizer of HH. Let X1,X2X_1, X_2 be two subsets of the center of HH, and let s∈Gs \in G such that sX1s−1=X2sX_1s^{-1} = X_2. Now prove that there exists n∈Nn \in \mathbf{N} such that nxn−1=sx(s−1)nxn^{-1} = sx(s^{-1}) for all x∈X1x \in X_1 (apply the theorem of conjugacy of Sylow subgroups to the centralizer of X1X_1). Deduce that two central elements of HH are conjugate in GG if and only if they are so in NN.
