Watkins' GRR existence conjecture for sufficiently large groups

At least 7 years old · documented by

Let GG be a group, and call a group exceptional if it does not admit a graphical regular representation (GRR), excluding the two known obstructions: being abelian of exponent greater than 22 or being generalized dicyclic.

Watkins' conjecture. There is an integer nn such that every group of cardinality at least nn which is neither abelian of exponent greater than 22 nor generalized dicyclic admits a GRR.

This is the quantitative formulation of Watkins' assertion that, outside the two infinite exceptional families, only finitely many groups fail to admit GRRs. The supplied source does not state that it has been resolved.
