Conder's conjecture on simple groups with cosets of p-elements
Let be a simple group, let be a prime, and let be a Sylow -subgroup of . A group element is a -element if its order is a power of . Conder's conjecture. If a nontrivial coset consists entirely of -elements, then . The conjecture is motivated by the rarity of simple groups with this property and is supported by considerable evidence, but it remains open.
