Automorphism refinement conjecture for supercharacter theories of
Automorphism refinement conjecture for supercharacter theories of
Let , and let be a supercharacter theory of . Suppose that has at least three nontrivial, proper -normal subgroups. Let be a nontrivial -normal subgroup and write , where is the partition into orbits of the th-power automorphism. Let be the supercharacter theory of coming from the automorphism sending an element to its th power.
Automorphism refinement conjecture. Then
This predicts that every such supercharacter theory contains the automorphism-generated theory determined by its restriction to a normal subgroup. It would substantially reduce the possible structures of supercharacter theories in this setting; it is presented as open despite verification in small and computationally accessible cases.
