Lévai–Pyber conjecture on cosets of bounded order in profinite groups

About 6 years old · traced to

Let GG be a profinite group, and let nn be a positive integer. Suppose that the set of solutions of

xn=1x^n=1

has positive Haar measure. Lévai–Pyber conjecture. Then GG has an open subgroup HH and an element tt such that every element of the coset tHtH has order dividing nn. This conjecture concerns when a positive-measure word fiber in a profinite group contains a full coset of an open subgroup. It was proved for n=2n=2, while the general case is presented here as open.
