Kimmerle's prime graph conjecture

Let GG be a finite group. Write #(G)\#(G) for the set of primes dividing the order of GG. The Gruenberg–Kegel graph, or prime graph, of GG is the graph π(G)\pi(G) whose vertices are the primes in #(G)\#(G), with an edge between distinct primes pp and qq when GG contains an element of order pqpq. Define π(V(ZG))\pi(V(\mathbb ZG)) analogously for the normalized unit group V(ZG)V(\mathbb ZG). Kimmerle's conjecture. If GG is a finite group, then

π(G)=π(V(ZG)).\pi(G)=\pi(V(\mathbb ZG)).

This is a weakened variation of the Zassenhaus conjecture concerning the prime divisors of element orders in finite groups and their normalized integral group-ring units. It was proposed as a related approach to the Zassenhaus problem and has been studied for numerous classes of finite groups.
