On the pronormality of subgroups of odd indices in finite simple   symplectic groups
  A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be pronormal in $G$ if $H$ and $H^g$ are conjugate in $\langle H, H^g\rangle$ for every element $g \in G$. In [Sib. Math. J. 2015. Vol. 56, no. 6] we proved that subgroups of odd indeces are pronormal in many finite simple group. In [Proc. Steklov Inst. Math., to appear] we proved that a group $PSp_{6n}(q)$ with $q \equiv \pm 3 \pmod 8$ contains a nonpronormal subgroup of odd index.   In this paper we prove that if $n \not \in \{2^m, 2^m(2^{2k}+1) \mid m, k \in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}\}$ then a group $PSp_{2n}(q)$ with $q \equiv \pm 3 \pmod 8$ contains a nonpronormal subgroup of odd index; if $n=2^m$ then any subgroup of odd index is pronormal in a group $PSp_{2n}(q)$, where $q \equiv \pm 3 \pmod 8$.
