Abstract

In this thesis we give a self-contained exposition of the group-theoretic proofs of the Burnside p^a g^b theorem. The Burnside p^a g^b theorem states that all groups of order p^a g^b are solvable, where p and q are primes. The proof was suggested by Thompson, and published by Goldschmidt, Bender, and Matsuyama.
