Let p denote an odd prime integer and let q = pf where f is a positive integer. Let ℋ denote the projective symplectic group PSp(4,q), the Dickson group G2(q), or the Steinberg “triality twisted” group over a field Fq of q elements. Then ℋ is simple and the Sylow 2-subgroups of ℋ have centers of order 2 so that involutions which centralize a Sylow 2-subgroup of ℋ form a single conjugacy class of ℋ.
