The alternating-group soluble-graph diameter conjecture

Let p11p\geqslant 11 be a prime with p3(mod4)p\equiv 3\pmod{4}. For the alternating group ApA_p, let δS(Ap)\delta_{\mathcal{S}}(A_p) denote the diameter of its soluble graph. Alternating-group soluble-graph diameter conjecture.

δS(Ap)4.\delta_{\mathcal{S}}(A_p)\geqslant 4.

A positive solution would imply that there are infinitely many groups with soluble-graph diameter at least 44, resolving the open problem posed immediately before it; the source notes that p11p\geqslant 11 is necessary because δS(A7)=3\delta_{\mathcal{S}}(A_7)=3.
