Meagher–Spiga intersection-density conjecture for prime-product degrees

For a transitive permutation group GG of degree nn, let ρ(G)\rho(G) denote its intersection density, and define

In:={ρ(G)G is transitive of degree n},I(n):=maxIn.\mathcal{I}_n:=\{\rho(G)\mid G\text{ is transitive of degree }n\},\qquad I(n):=\max\mathcal{I}_n.

Intersection-density conjecture for prime-product degrees. The following assertions hold:

  1. If n=pqn=pq where pp and qq are odd primes, then I(n)=1I(n)=1.
  2. If n=2pn=2p where pp is prime, then I(n)=2I(n)=2.

These assertions would determine the maximum intersection density in two families of degrees. The paper cites them as conjectured previously; no resolution is supplied in the given text.
