Cyclic length and chromatic fixed-point loss

What OpenAI claims

Determines the optimal chromatic loss from geometric H-fixed points to geometric G-fixed points for every subgroup H of a finite p-group G. At every nonnegative height, the loss equals the shortest subnormal-chain length from H to G with cyclic quotients. Each quotient counts once regardless of order, and finite spectra witness sharpness.

   For a finite p-group G and a subgroup H, we prove that the optimal chromatic fixed-point loss equals the shortest length of a subnormal chain from H to G with cyclic quotients. The equality holds at every prime and every nonnegative height, resolving positively the equality proposed by Kuhn and Lloyd.
