On the number of subgroups of given index in the modular group.
A subset of a finite abelian group, written additively, is called zero-sumfree if the sum of the elements of each non-empty subset of 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, -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...
If is a transitive permutation group of degree with cyclic point-stabilizer, then the order of is at most .
In this paper as the main result, we determine finite groups with the same prime graph as the automorphism group of a sporadic simple group, except .
