B-theorem

From HandWiki

The B-theorem is a mathematical finite group theory result formerly known as the B-conjecture. The theorem states that if [math]\displaystyle{ C }[/math] is the centralizer of an involution of a finite group, then every component of [math]\displaystyle{ C/O(C) }[/math] is the image of a component of [math]\displaystyle{ C }[/math].
