The strong form of Oliver's conjecture for the subgroup Y(S)

Let pp be a prime and SS a finite pp-group. Let Y(S)\mathcal{Y}(S) be the characteristic subgroup introduced in the source; for odd pp it satisfies Y(S)X(S)\mathcal{Y}(S)\leq\mathfrak{X}(S), while for p=2p=2 one has Y(S)=S\mathcal{Y}(S)=S. Let J(S)J(S) denote the Thompson subgroup of SS.

Strong form of Oliver's conjecture.

J(S)Y(S).J(S)\leq\mathcal{Y}(S).

This strengthens Oliver's conjecture: it is automatic for p=2p=2, and for odd primes it implies the original conjecture. The paper introduces it as a conjecture and reports verification for the stated families in its abstract, not a general resolution.
