The non-exceptional symmetric-group factorization conjecture for Schur indicators
The non-exceptional symmetric-group factorization conjecture for Schur indicators
Let be an exact factorization with , and suppose is not one of the exceptional groups in the classified cases. Set
Non-exceptional factorization conjecture. The Schur indicator of every irreducible -module is or .
This would identify the exceptional factorizations as the only badly behaved factorizations. The assertion is supported by the theorem covering factorizations with under the additional stated cycle hypothesis, but is open in general.
