Some groups do not have totally variant proper subgroups.
For example, the prime order cycles, or products of cycles of
prime order; or the quaternion group of order 8.
My question, given the fact above about A_n, is the following:
Does every finite nonabelian simple group have a totally variant
subgroup?
I would appreciate any thoughts/references/comments/counterexamples.
Thanks in advance.
