For <strong>cyclic</strong> C let the square-free part <strong>of</strong> the action be the subgroup<br />

C ′ such that if the prime p divides |C : C ∩ K| then p<br />

divides |C ′ : C ′ ∩ K| but not p 2 . A <strong>simple</strong> reduction is<br />

Lemma: C has a regular orbit on the cosets <strong>of</strong> B in A if and<br />

only if C ′ has a regular orbit on this set.<br />

There is much work on intersections <strong>of</strong> conjugacy classes <strong>of</strong><br />

sub<strong>groups</strong>, and in some sense this is the main task in tackling<br />

the problem.
