The equal-extension-count conjecture for finite monomial groups

Let pp be prime, let TT be a non-solvable transitive subgroup of Sym(p)\mathrm{Sym}(p), and let DD be the diagonal subgroup appearing in the monomial group M~(p,C)\widetilde{\mathrm{M}}(p,\mathbb{C}). A TT-extension means a subgroup extending a finite TT-submodule inside M~(p,C)\widetilde{\mathrm{M}}(p,\mathbb{C}); two extensions are identified when they are conjugate in M~(p,C)\widetilde{\mathrm{M}}(p,\mathbb{C}). The equal-extension-count conjecture. Every finite TT-submodule of DD has the same number of TT-extensions in M~(p,C)\widetilde{\mathrm{M}}(p,\mathbb{C}) up to M~(p,C)\widetilde{\mathrm{M}}(p,\mathbb{C})-conjugacy. This conjecture addresses the extension problem for projective TT in the classification of finite irreducible monomial subgroups. The source reports verification in several cases and gives the corresponding extension counts, but does not state a general resolution.
