The commutator-intersection conjecture for RCC loop folders

Let GG be a finite group and let HGH\leq G be a subgroup. A subset TGT\subseteq G is a transversal for H\GH\backslash G if it contains exactly one representative of each right coset, and it is GG-invariant when it is invariant under the action of GG; assume that 1T1\in T. Write GG' for the commutator subgroup of GG.

Commutator-intersection conjecture. If HH is abelian and (G,H,T)(G,H,T) is an RCC loop folder, then

GH={1}.G'\cap H=\{1\}.

This is proposed as the converse to the sufficient condition previously established in the paper: GH={1}G'\cap H=\{1\} guarantees a GG-invariant transversal containing 11. The dihedral example shows that the existence of such a transversal alone does not force HH to be abelian; the conjecture asserts that, once HH is abelian, the commutator intersection must be trivial.
