A gap conjecture for Sylow numbers
A gap conjecture for Sylow numbers
Let be an odd prime, and let be a finite group with subgroup . For a finite group , write for the number of Sylow -subgroups of . Gap conjecture for Sylow numbers. There \exists a rational number such that, whenever , one has
This conjecture asks for a uniform gap, depending only on the odd prime , between unequal Sylow numbers of a finite group and its subgroup. The surrounding discussion notes that equality in the general inequality can occur, while the proposed statement concerns the case of strict inequality; no resolution is given in the source.
