## Problem

Let p be a prime. A totally imprimitive p-group H of finitary permutations is said to have the cyclic-block property if in the cycle decomposition of every element the support of every cycle is a block for H. Let G be a transitive subgroup of the group of finitary permutations F Sym(Ω) of a set Ω. Does every transitive Sylow p-subgroup of G contain a transitive subgroup which has the cyclic-block property? This is Kourovka Notebook Problem \(21.6\).
