Baer–Suzuki conjecture for commutators of prime-order elements

About 2 years old · traced to

Let GG be a finite group and let pp be a prime. Let x∈Gx\in G be an element of order pp. A group element is pp-singular if its order is divisible by pp.

Commutator Baer–Suzuki conjecture. If [x,g][x,g] is either 11 or pp-singular for every element g∈Gg\in G, then x∈Op(G)x\in O_p(G).

The source states that no counterexample is known. This would give a further variation of the Baer–Suzuki theorem, but its resolution is not supplied.
