Neumann–Praeger conjecture on Kronecker classes

Let GG be a finite group with subgroups UU and UU', and let n=G:Un=|G:U'|. For a subgroup VV of GG, write Vg=g1VgV^g=g^{-1}Vg and let gGVg\bigcup_{g\in G}V^g denote the union of its conjugates. Neumann–Praeger conjecture. There exists a function ff such that, if

gGUg=gG(U)g,\bigcup_{g\in G}U^g=\bigcup_{g\in G}(U')^g,

then

G:Uf(n).|G:U|\leq f(n).

In the arithmetic interpretation, equality of these conjugate unions is equivalent to Kronecker equivalence of the corresponding field extensions, so the conjecture predicts that the degree of a field in a Kronecker class is bounded in terms of the degree of another member. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
