In this files we prove the Schur-Zassenhaus splitting and transitivity theorems (under solvability assumptions), then derive P. Hall's generalization of Sylow's theorem to solvable groups and its corollaries, in particular the theory of coprime action. We develop both the theory of coprime action of a solvable group on Sylow subgroups (as in Aschbacher 18.7), and that of coprime action on Hall subgroups of a solvable group as per B & G, Proposition 1.5; however we only support external group action (as opposed to internal action by conjugation) for the latter case because it is much harder to apply in practice.

Lemma coprime_norm_cent A G :
A \subset 'N(G) → coprime #|G| #|A| → 'N_G(A) = 'C_G(A).
This is B & G, Proposition 1.5(a)

A complement to the above: 'C(A) acts on 'Nby(A)
Lemma norm_conj_cent A G x : x \in 'C(A) →
(A \subset 'N(G :^ x)) = (A \subset 'N(G)).
Strongest version of the centraliser lemma -- not found in textbooks! Obviously, the solvability condition could be removed once we have the Odd Order Theorem.
Lemma strongest_coprime_quotient_cent A G H :
let R := H :&: [~: G, A] in
A \subset 'N(H) → R \subset G → coprime #|R| #|A| →
solvable R || solvable A →
'C_G(A) / H = 'C_(G / H)(A / H).
A weaker but more practical version, still stronger than the usual form (viz. Aschbacher 18.7.4), similar to the one needed in Aschbacher's proof of Thompson factorization. Note that the coprime and solvability assumptions could be further weakened to H :&: G (and hence become trivial if H and G are TI). However, the assumption that A act on G is needed in this case.
Lemma coprime_norm_quotient_cent A G H :
A \subset 'N(G) → A \subset 'N(H) → coprime #|H| #|A| → solvable H →
'C_G(A) / H = 'C_(G / H)(A / H).
A useful consequence (similar to Ex. 6.1 in Aschbacher) of the stronger theorem.
Lemma coprime_cent_mulG A G H :
A \subset 'N(G) → A \subset 'N(H) → G \subset 'N(H) →
coprime #|H| #|A| → solvable H →
'C_(H × G)(A) = 'C_H(A) × 'C_G(A).
Another special case of the strong coprime quotient lemma; not found in textbooks, but nevertheless used implicitly throughout B & G, sometimes justified by switching to external action.
Lemma quotient_TI_subcent K G H :
G \subset 'N(K) → G \subset 'N(H) → K :&: H = 1 →
'C_K(G) / H = 'C_(K / H)(G / H).
This is B & G, Proposition 1.5(d): the more traditional form of the lemma above, with the assumption H <| G weakened to H \subset G. The stronger coprime and solvability assumptions are easier to satisfy in practice.
Proposition coprime_quotient_cent A G H :
H \subset G → A \subset 'N(H) → coprime #|G| #|A| → solvable G →
'C_G(A) / H = 'C_(G / H)(A / H).
This is B & G, Proposition 1.5(e).
Proposition coprime_comm_pcore A G K :

[~: G, A] \subset 'O_pi(G).
End InternalAction.
This is B & G, Proposition 1.5(b).

We only prove a weaker form of the coprime group action centraliser lemma, because it is more convenient in practice to make G the range of the action, whence G both contains H and is stable under A. However we do restrict the coprime/solvable assumptions to H, and we do not require that G normalize H.
Lemma ext_coprime_quotient_cent (H : {group gT}) :
H \subset G → [acts A, on H | to] → coprime #|H| #|A| → solvable H →
'C_(|to)(A) / H = 'C_(|to / H)(A).
