    Using the classification of the finite simple groups the author proves the following theorems: 1. Let \(G\) be a finite group, \(P\) be a Sylow \(p\)- subgroup and \(x\) be an element of \(P\) of order \(p\). If \(x\) is conjugate with no other element of \(P\) then \([\langle x\rangle,G]\) is a normal subgroup of \(G\). This is a conjecture of \textit{G. Glauberman} [Math. Z. 93, 154-160 (1966; Zbl 0231.20004)]. 2. Let \(p\) be an odd prime and \(x\) be a \(p\)-element of a finite group \(G\). If \([x,g]\) is a \(p\)-element for every \(g\in G\) then \(x\) lies in a normal \(p\)-subgroup of \(G\). This answers (for odd primes) the question 5.32 from ``Kourovka notebook. Unsolved problems in group theory'' [Transl., II. Ser., Am. Math. Soc. 121 (1983; Zbl 0512.20001)]. 3. Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(P\) be a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup. If \([x,g]\) is a \(p\)-element for every \(g\in G\) and \(x\in P\) then \(P\) is normal in \(G\).
