The multiplicity-free holonomy conjecture for finite groups

Let HH be a finite group. A Bieberbach group is a torsion-free crystallographic group, and its holonomy representation is the representation of HH on the translation lattice. The representation is Q\mathbb{Q}-multiplicity free when no irreducible Q\mathbb{Q}-representation occurs with multiplicity greater than one.

Multiplicity-free holonomy conjecture. For every finite group HH, there exists a Bieberbach group Γ\Gamma with Q\mathbb{Q}-multiplicity-free holonomy representation ϕΓ\phi_{\Gamma}.

This conjecture concerns which finite groups can occur with especially restricted holonomy representations; the supplied text attributes it to the cited source but gives no resolution.
