The p-regular product conjecture for coprime conjugacy class sizes

About 2 years old · traced to

Let GG be a group, and let pp be a prime. An element of GG is p-regular if its order is not divisible by pp, and the conjugacy class size of an element xx is ∣G:CG(x)∣|G:C_G(x)|. The p-regular product conjecture. If x,y∈Gx,y\in G are two pp-regular elements with coprime conjugacy class sizes, then xyxy is a pp-regular element.

The conjecture would allow results proved for pp-separable groups to extend to arbitrary groups by removing the pp-separability assumption in several auxiliary results. The source notes that a partial positive answer had been established elsewhere and that the conjecture has since turned out to be true, although the full result was forthcoming at the time of writing.
