Order 125 = 5³

0 / 5 paper-excluded 0 / 5 Lean-excluded odd candidate

Why a candidate

Order 125 = 5³ is a candidate because it divides the following Theorem 6 maxima: 375.

From the paper (Macaj–Siran 2010)

Lemma 18 / Theorem 5 (5-group classification): a 5-group of order 125 has Fix(X) either a pentagon (|X| ∣ 125 achieved with equality) or empty (|X| ∣ 5⁶); the Hoffman–Singleton branch is excluded here (Proposition 3 caps it at |X| ≤ 5). Propositions 4–5 add structural constraints but do not single out any of the 5 isomorphism types. All 5 groups paper-allowed.
