Three-conjugate characterization of the solvable radical
Three-conjugate characterization of the solvable radical
Let be a finite group, and let denote its solvable radical, the largest solvable normal subgroup of . For , consider the subgroup generated by and its conjugates by , , and . Three-conjugate solvable-radical conjecture. The solvable radical of coincides with the collection of elements such that, for every , the subgroup
is solvable. This would sharpen the proved characterization using seven conjugates and would imply that a finite group is solvable if and only if every four conjugate elements generate a solvable subgroup; the source does not report a resolution.
