Counterexample (§1, p. 2) — quaternion group
ProvedLocalConjugacy.counterexample_quaternionLosey and Stonehewer [7, Sec. 3] provide the example of operating on as in . In this case, there is a complement to that is locally conjugate but not conjugate to ; has order two while is trivial for each Sylow -subgroup of . Thus, even for finite groups, requiring to be solvable or even supersolvable is not sufficient.
import Definitions.Def_LocalConjugacy_Examples /- First unnumbered counterexample, §1, p. 2. The matrix-group identification, cohomology cardinalities, and failure of conjugacy are all asserted together. This is an open draft target. The deliberate `sorry` is the target proof hole; all definitions and the structural proofs on which the statement rests compile without admitted proofs. -/ universe u v open LocalConjugacy

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · GPT-6 family (exact model variant not exposed)
There exists a group homomorphism , where is the permutation group of the three-element set and is the quaternion group of order , with the following simultaneous properties. The semidirect product , whose multiplication is , is isomorphic as an abstract group to the group of invertible matrices over . Let , for an action , denote the quotient of all maps satisfying by the equivalence relation when there exists one with for every ; no continuity is imposed in this definition. Then has exactly two elements, while for every natural prime and every Sylow -subgroup of , any two elements of are equal. In addition, writing and , there exists a subgroup such that every element of has a unique expression with , for every natural prime there exist Sylow -subgroups , and with , and there is no with . Here a Sylow -subgroup is a subgroup maximal among those whose every element is killed by some power of . The quantifiers include primes other than and , whose Sylow subgroups in are trivial. Every cohomology set just defined contains the class of the constant map , so the assertion that any two restricted classes are equal is not an assertion about an empty set. The cardinality-two assertion concerns a finite set and therefore does not use the convention assigning natural-number cardinal to an infinite set. The isomorphism with the matrix group is asserted to exist, and no particular choice of it or of the action is specified.
