Sibling-pair and sibling-tuple conjecture for groups of orders p4p^4 and p5p^5

Let p>3p>3 be prime. A sibling-ll-tuple is a collection of ll groups identified as siblings under the group identification framework of the paper.

Sibling-pair and sibling-tuple conjecture. Among the 1515 groups of order p4p^4, there is exactly one sibling-pair. Among the 2p+2gcd(p1,3)+gcd(p1,4)+612p+2\gcd(p-1,3)+\gcd(p-1,4)+61 groups of order p5p^5, there are two sibling-tuples of length l=(p+1)/2l=(p+1)/2, two sibling-tuples of length l=(p1)/2l=(p-1)/2, one sibling-tuple of length l=gcd(p1,4)l=\gcd(p-1,4), one sibling-tuple of length l=2l=2, and, if gcd(p1,3)=3\gcd(p-1,3)=3, two sibling-tuples of length l=3l=3.

The conjecture is motivated by computational evidence for groups of small prime-power order, including the observed sibling configurations for groups of orders 353^5 and 363^6. Its status is not established by the supplied source context.
