Normalizer covering number 11 conjecture

Let GG be a group, and let σn(G)\sigma_n(G) denote its normalizer covering number, the least number of proper normalizers whose union is GG, when such a covering exists. Normalizer covering number 11 conjecture. There is no group GG with

σn(G)=11.\sigma_n(G)=11.

The paper notes that σn(S4)=7\sigma_n(S_4)=7 and asks whether some integer greater than 22 is not a normalizer covering number; this conjecture proposes 1111 as such an integer.
