Theorem
Let $G$ be a non-abelian finite simple group.
Let $t \in G$ be a self-inverse element of $G$.
Let $\map {C_G} t$ denote the centralizer of $t$ in $G$.
Let $m = \order {\map {C_G} t}$ be the order of $\map {C_G} t$.
Then:
- $\order G \le \paren {\dfrac {m \paren {m + 1} } 2}!$
Corollary
Let $H$ be a finite group of even order.
Let $u \in H$ be a self-inverse element of $H$.
Then there are finitely many types of finite simple group $G$ such that:
- $G$ has a self-inverse element $t \in G$
- $\map {C_G} t \cong H$
