The almost simple group conjecture for the divisibility of Sylow subgroup numbers
The almost simple group conjecture for the divisibility of Sylow subgroup numbers
Let be a prime, and for a finite group let denote the number of Sylow -subgroups of . Say that satisfies if, for every subgroup , the integer divides . Let be a simple group.
Almost simple group conjecture. If satisfies , then every group satisfying
also satisfies .
This would extend the known result for almost simple groups whose socle has order not divisible by . The source presents the assertion as natural because the authors do not know an example of an almost simple group satisfying while its simple socle does not; its resolution is not supplied here.
