Byott's solvability conjecture for finite groups with Hopf-Galois structures
Byott's solvability conjecture for finite groups with Hopf-Galois structures
Let and be finite groups of the same order. Write for the number of Hopf-Galois structures on a Galois extension with Galois group and underlying group . Byott's solvability conjecture. If is insolvable and , then is also insolvable. This conjecture asserts that the existence of a Hopf-Galois structure cannot transfer insolvability from the Galois group to a solvable underlying group. The surrounding discussion presents it as a remark due to N. P. Byott; no resolution is given here.
