Cartan group conjecture for graded invariant factors

Let ell1ell\geq1 and d0d\geq0, and let Xell,dX_{ell,d} be the matrix arising in the computation of Cartan invariants. Write the prime decomposition as ell=ipiriell=\prod_i p_i^{r_i} and define the graded invariant factors by

ϑell(λ)=iϑpiri(λ),λPar(d).\vartheta_{ell}(\lambda)=\prod_i\vartheta_{p_i^{r_i}}(\lambda),\qquad \lambda\in\operatorname{Par}(d).

Let Cart(ell,d)\operatorname{Cart}(ell,d) be the finite group associated with Xell,dX_{ell,d}. Cartan group conjecture. For any ellell, the finite group Cart(ell,d)\operatorname{Cart}(ell,d) is a direct product of cyclic groups with orders given by the graded invariant factors of X_{ell,d. This is an explicit group-theoretic formulation of the proposed invariant-factor description; the supplied context does not state a resolution of this claim.
