In mathematical [[finite group theory]], the '''Thompson transitivity theorem''' gives conditions under which the [[Centralizer and normalizer|centralizer]] of an [[abelian subgroup]] ''A'' acts [[Group_action#Transitivity_properties|transitively]] on certain subgroups normalized by ''A''. It originated in the proof of the [[Feit–Thompson theorem|odd order theorem]] by {{harvs|txt|last=Feit|last2=Thompson|author2-link=John G. Thompson|year=1963}}, where it was used to prove the [[Thompson uniqueness theorem]].

==Statement==

Suppose that ''G'' is a finite group and ''p'' a [[Prime number|prime]] such that all ''[[P-local subgroup|''p]]''[[P-local subgroup|-local subgroups]] are [[p-constrained|''p''-constrained]]. If ''A'' is a self-centralizing normal abelian subgroup of a ''p''-Sylow subgroup such that ''A'' has rank at least 3, then the centralizer C_''G''(''A'') act transitively on the maximal ''A''-invariant ''q'' subgroups of ''G'' for any prime ''q'' ≠ ''p''.
