Order 110 = 2 · 5 · 11

4 / 6 paper-excluded 6 / 6 Lean-excluded via order-22 Sylow reduction

From the paper (Macaj–Siran 2010)

Theorem 7 lists 110 = 2 · 5 · 11 as a surviving even candidate; Corollary 3 records it as the maximum even |G|. Lemma 15 row pq = 22 with a₀ = 1, a₀(x_5) = 5, a₀(x_{11}) = 56 gives a₁ = 222 etc. and the remark

"from Lemma 15 it follows that there is no automorphism of order 110."

This excludes only an element of order 110 — i.e. ℤ₁₁₀ (cyclic). But Theorem 2 (Makhnev–Paduchikh) further constrains the structure: G = ⟨Y, t⟩ × X with |Y| ∈ {1, 3, 5, 7, 19, 21, 57}. This excludes three more groups at order 110:

So the paper already excludes 4 of the 6 groups. The remaining two (D₅ × ℤ₁₁ and ℤ₂ × (ℤ₁₁ ⋊ ℤ₅)) are paper-allowed and are closed only by this project via the order-22 Sylow + Cauchy reduction.

Natural-language proof (this project)

Short subgroup-reduction argument:

  1. Sylow's third theorem: n₁₁ ∣ 10 and n₁₁ ≡ 1 (mod 11), so n₁₁ = 1; the unique Sylow-11 subgroup P₁₁ ≅ ℤ₁₁ is normal.
  2. Cauchy's theorem applied to |G| = 110: there exists an involution τ ∈ G.
  3. H := ⟨P₁₁, τ⟩ has order 22 and is a subgroup of G ≤ Aut(Γ).
  4. The Order-22 result (see order 22 page + writeup proofs/no_aut_order_22_moore57.md) excludes such H. Contradiction.

The novel content is the order-22 step; everything else is classical Sylow theory.

Group classification (SmallGroup(110, k))

GroupDescriptionPaperLean
ℤ₁₁₀ Cyclic; has an element of order 110. excluded (§9, no order-110 element) excluded
D₅₅ Dihedral; ℤ₅₅ inverted by t. excluded (Thm 2: |Y|=55) excluded
ℤ₅ × D₁₁ Direct product; involution inverts ℤ₁₁ only. excluded (Thm 2: |Y|=11) excluded
F₁₁₀ = ℤ₁₁ ⋊ ℤ₁₀ Frobenius; ℤ₁₀ acts faithfully on ℤ₁₁. excluded (Thm 2) excluded
D₅ × ℤ₁₁ Involution inverts ℤ₅ only; ℤ₁₁ centralized. Y=ℤ₅, X=ℤ₁₁, Fix(X)=pentagon. allowed excluded (original)
ℤ₂ × (ℤ₁₁ ⋊ ℤ₅) Involution centralizes the Frobenius F₅₅. Y=1, X=F₅₅, Fix(X)=pentagon. allowed excluded (original)

All 6 groups of order 110 (Sylow analysis: n₁₁ = 1; n₅ ∈ {1, 11}) are Lean-excluded uniformly via the order-22 Sylow + Cauchy reduction.
