I give a proof of this conjecture under the additional assumption that G be solvable. I also show that this conjecture is equivalent to the following: the kernel of restrictions to nilpotent subgroups is a biset-subfunctor of the Burnside functor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-02-28T14:18:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conjecture", "largest quotient b-group", "finite group", "additional assumption", "nilpotent subgroups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1202.6234B" } } }
