On the number of solutions of equation x p k = 1 in a finite group

Theorem A yields the condition under which the number of solutions of equation x p k = 1 in a finite p -group is divisible by p n + k (here n is a fixed positive integer). Theorem B which is due to Avinoam Mann generalizes the counting part of the Sylow Theorem. We show in Theorems C and D that congruences for the number of cyclic subgroups of order p k which are true for abelian groups hold for more general finite groups (for example for groups with abelian Sylow p -subgroups).

On the number of subgroups of finite abelian groups

Aleksandar Ivić (1997)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let T ( x ) = K 1 x log 2 x + K 2 x log x + K 3 x + Δ ( x ) , where T ( x ) denotes the number of subgroups of all abelian groups whose order does not exceed x and whose rank does not exceed 2 , and Δ ( x ) is the error term. It is proved that 1 X Δ 2 ( x ) d x X 2 log 31 / 3 X , 1 X Δ 2 ( x ) d x = Ω ( X 2 log 4 X ) .

On the Olson and the Strong Davenport constants

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

A subset S of a finite abelian group, written additively, is called zero-sumfree if the sum of the elements of each non-empty subset of S is non-zero. We investigate the maximal cardinality of zero-sumfree sets, i.e., the (small) Olson constant. We determine the maximal cardinality of such sets for several new types of groups; in particular, p -groups with large rank relative to the exponent, including all groups with exponent at most five. These results are derived as consequences of more general...
