Order 10 = 2 · 5

0 / 2 paper-excluded 0 / 2 Lean-excluded even candidate

Why a candidate

Order 10 = 2 · 5 is a candidate because it divides the following Theorem 7 maxima: 50, 110.

From the paper (Macaj–Siran 2010)

Lemma 15 rows pq = 10 (a₀ ∈ {1, 6}) constrain order-10 elements. Theorem 7 proof remark: "G cannot contain ℤ₁₀ and ℤ₃₅ with a common ℤ₅".

Theorem 2 (Makhnev–Paduchikh) reads the two order-10 groups via G = ⟨Y, t⟩ × X with |Y| ∈ {1, 3, 5, 7, 19, 21, 57} and (if X ≠ 1) Fix(X) ∈ {star, pentagon, Petersen, HS}:

The paper does not exclude either group of order 10.
