In this short note we prove that if p is odd, G is p-nilpotent if and only if P controls fusion of cyclic groups of order p. For the case p=2, we show that G is p-nilpotent if and only if P controls fusion of cyclic groups of order 2 and 4.7 pagesGroup Theory20D15; 20J06Cohomology, fusion and a p-nilpotency criteriontext
