Hayashi's divisibility conjecture for profiles of finite connected racks

Let XX be a finite connected rack. Its profile is the common cycle type

λ=(λ0a0,λ1a1,,λtat),\lambda=(\lambda_0^{a_0},\lambda_1^{a_1},\dots,\lambda_t^{a_t}),

where λ0<λ1<<λt\lambda_0<\lambda_1<\cdots<\lambda_t are the cycle lengths of the elements of the image of the rack morphism Φ ⁣:XAut(X)\Phi\colon X\to\mathsf{Aut}(X), with multiplicities a0,a1,,ata_0,a_1,\dots,a_t.

Hayashi's divisibility conjecture. Each λs\lambda_s, for 0st0\leq s\leq t, divides λt\lambda_t.

The conjecture concerns the arithmetic structure of profiles of finite connected racks and was originally stated by Hayashi for quandles. The paper proves special cases, while the general divisibility assertion remains unresolved here.
