Liebeck–Nikolov–Shalev conjecture on products of subset conjugates
Liebeck–Nikolov–Shalev conjecture on products of subset conjugates
Let be a finite simple group and let be a subset with . A conjugate of means a set for some . Liebeck–Nikolov–Shalev conjecture. There exists an absolute constant such that is the product of at most
conjugates of . The conjecture concerns efficient product decompositions in finite simple groups; in the source, its proof is stated to have been completed by Lifshitz, so the conjecture is no longer open.
