Algorithmic radical-boundedness conjecture for word maps
Algorithmic radical-boundedness conjecture for word maps
Let be a reduced word. For a finite group , let be its solvable radical, and let denote the probability that the word map associated with takes a prescribed value as defined in the source.
Algorithmic radical-boundedness conjecture. There exists an algorithm which, on input , decides whether there is a function
such that, for every finite group and every , the implication
holds. If such a function exists, the algorithm also outputs a definition of one possible choice of .
The claim would give an algorithmic way to determine whether a lower bound on word-map probability controls the nonsolvable part of every finite group. The source explains that this statement follows if the effective Larsen–Shalev conjecture holds.
