Small rational-object equality conjecture for finite groups
Small rational-object equality conjecture for finite groups
Let be a finite group. Let denote the number of irreducible characters of with rational fields of values, and let denote the number of conjugacy classes of with rational fields of values. Small rational-object equality conjecture. If
then
The conjecture is motivated by computations of groups of order at most , which found no counterexample with either or . Whether the equality always holds under this bound remains open.
