Vanishing probability of a Latin-square autotopism component
Vanishing probability of a Latin-square autotopism component
For , let be the symmetric group on symbols, let denote the autotopism group of Latin squares of order , and let be the probability that a randomly chosen is a component of some isotopism . Vanishing-probability conjecture.
This conjecture concerns the asymptotic rarity of permutations that occur as components of autotopisms of Latin squares, complementing the known result that a random Latin square asymptotically almost surely has no nontrivial autotopism. It proposes that the corresponding probability for a random permutation also tends to zero; no resolution is supplied here.
