Yorgov and Yorgov then exclude an element of order 4 by an exhaustive parameterized search, removing \\(C_4\\).\n\nThe restrictions also determine the possible cycle structures. Every involution is fixed-point-free, so it acts as 36 transpositions. Every element of order 3 is fixed-point-free, so it acts as 24 three-cycles. An element of order 5 acts as fourteen 5-cycles and fixes two coordinates.\n\nEarlier primary computations exclude \\(C_7\\), \\(C_3\\times C_3\\), \\(D_{10}\\), elements of order 6, \\(S_3\\), \\(A_4\\), \\(D_8\\), and an elementary abelian group of order 8. These results make symmetry-based searches finite in several branches. The trivial-group branch receives no comparable reduction.",
