Existence of non-strongly p-artinian groups and non-LFS-realizable fusion systems
Existence of non-strongly p-artinian groups and non-LFS-realizable fusion systems
A group is -reduced if it has no nontrivial normal -subgroups. A locally finite group is -artinian if it satisfies the relevant descending-chain condition, and it is strongly -artinian when it also satisfies the additional centralizer condition specified in the paper. A fusion system is LF-realizable if it is realized by a locally finite group, and LFS-realizable if it is realized by a locally finite, strongly -artinian group.
Existence conjecture. There are -reduced locally finite -artinian groups that are not locally finite, strongly -artinian groups, and there are fusion systems that are LF-realizable but not LFS-realizable.
The conjecture proposes that both separations occur: the class of locally finite -artinian groups is strictly broader than the class of locally finite, strongly -artinian groups, and LF-realizability is strictly broader than LFS-realizability. The source states that no such examples are known and that constructing them appears difficult.
