Feit–Thompson conjecture
text:
In mathematics, the Feit–Thompson conjecture is a conjecture in number theory, suggested by Walter Feit and John G. Thompson (1962). The conjecture states that there are no distinct prime numbers p and q such that
- p q − 1 p − 1 divides q p − 1 q − 1. If the conjecture were true, it would greatly simplify the final chapter of the proof of the Feit–Thompson theorem that every finite group of odd order is solvable. A stronger conjecture that the two numbers are always coprime was disproved by S
