Automorphism conjecture for supercharacter theories with a non-coarsest restriction
Automorphism conjecture for supercharacter theories with a non-coarsest restriction
Let , and let be a supercharacter theory of . Suppose that has at least three nontrivial, proper -normal subgroups, and let be one of them. Write for the coarsest supercharacter theory of .
Automorphism conjecture. If , then every subgroup of is -normal. In particular, comes from automorphisms.
This would show that a non-coarsest restriction to one normal subgroup forces a highly structured supercharacter theory; the paper reports verification of the related conjecture for primes up to , but the general claim remains open.
