As well known, this ratio is a positive integer and we conjecture that, for every group $G$, it is at least the $(1-\\frac{1}{p})$-th power of the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$. We prove this conjecture if $G$ is $p$-solvable. Moreover, we prove that the conjecture is true in its generality if a somewhat similar condition holds for every almost simple group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-02T08:57:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "finite group", "somewhat similar condition holds", "conjecture", "simple group", "th power" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
