A Proof of Gluck's Conjecture

For a finite group $H$, let $\nu(H)$ denote the maximum order of a nilpotent subgroup of $H$. We prove that every finite solvable transitive permutation group $P$ on a finite set $\Omega$ has a subset $\Delta\subseteq\Omega$ such that $|P:P_\Delta|\ge\nu(P_\Delta)$. We also prove that if a finite solvable group $H$ act...
