Order 2 = 2

0 / 1 paper-excluded 0 / 1 Lean-excluded even candidate

Why a candidate

Order 2 = 2 is a candidate because it divides the following Theorem 7 maxima: 14, 22, 38, 50, 54, 110.

From the paper (Macaj–Siran 2010)

Lemma 2 (Higman / Cameron): every involution t fixes a 56-vertex star (a₀(t) = 56, a₁(t) = 112), and 4 ∤ |Aut(Γ)| — so the involution is isolated in its Sylow 2-subgroup.

Theorem 2 (Makhnev–Paduchikh) reads the order-2 group via the trivial decomposition G = ⟨1, t⟩ × 1 with |Y| = 1 ∈ {1, 3, 5, 7, 19, 21, 57} ✓ and X = 1 (condition (b) on Fix(X) vacuous). The single group ℤ₂ is paper-allowed; closing it requires the deeper star / involution-action analysis.
