Navarro's self-normalizing Sylow 2-subgroup conjecture

Let GG be a finite group and let PSyl2(G)P\in\operatorname{Syl}_2(G). Let σGal(Qab/Q)\sigma\in\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}^{\mathrm{ab}}/\mathbb{Q}) be the unique automorphism that fixes 22-roots of unity and squares odd roots of unity. Navarro's self-normalizing Sylow 2-subgroup conjecture.

NG(P)=PN_G(P)=P

if and only if all odd-degree irreducible characters of GG are fixed by σ\sigma. The conjecture was subsequently established through reductions to finite simple groups and results proving that every finite simple group has the required property.
