If all the Sylow subgroups of $G$ can be generated by $d$ elements, then $e(G)\\leq d+\\kappa$ with $\\kappa \\sim 2.75239495.$ The number $\\kappa$ is explicitly described in terms of the Riemann zeta function and is best possible. If $G$ is a permutation group of degree $n,$ then either $G=S_3$ and $e(G)=2.9$ or $e(G)\\leq \\lfloor n/2\\rfloor+\\kappa^*$ with $\\kappa^* \\sim 1.606695.$"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1707.07193","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
