Etingof's generalized Benson conjecture for induced prime-to-\p symmetries

Let pp be a prime, let GG be a pp-group, let k\Bbbk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic pp, and let VV be an indecomposable representation of GG. An induced pp'-symmetry of VV is a pair (C,G)(\mathcal{C},G') as defined in the source, where C\mathcal{C} is the relevant tensor subcategory and GG' is the associated finite group.

Generalized Benson conjecture. If (C,G)(\mathcal{C},G') is an induced pp'-symmetry of VV, then every prime dividing the order of GG' is less than pp.

The source presents this as an equivalent reformulation of Etingof's generalized Benson conjecture in the language of induced pp'-symmetries. It gives computational evidence for the case p=2p=2 but no resolution of the general statement.
