Abstract
The Prime Graph Question for integral group rings asks if it is true that if the normalized unit group of the integral group ring of a finite group contains an element of order , for some primes and , also contains an element of that order. We answer this question for the three Conway sporadic simple groups after reducing it to a combinatorial question about Young tableaus and Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. This finishes work of V. Bovdi, A. Konovalov and S. Linton.
