| contents | Let $G$ be a finite group and let $(P_i)_{i=1}^n$ be Sylow subgroups for distinct primes $p_1,\ldots,p_n$. We conjecture that there exists $x \in G$ such that $P_i \cap P_i^x$ is inclusion-minimal in $\{ P_i \cap P_i^g : g \in G\}$ for all $i$. As a first step in this direction, we show that a finite group cannot be covered by (proper) Sylow normalizers for distinct primes. Then we settle the conjecture in two opposite situations: symmetric and alternating groups of large degree and metanilpotent groups of odd order. Applications concerning the intersections of nilpotent subgroups are discussed. |
