Prime-graph equality conjecture for intransitive subgroups of alternating groups
Let and , where and for every prime number . Prime-graph equality conjecture. If , then
if and only if is odd, , and is composite. This concerns the unresolved classification of when an alternating group and an associated intransitive maximal subgroup have the same prime graph; the paper notes that the problem is connected with difficult additive questions about representations of integers as sums of distinct primes.
