Subsequence sums of zero-sum free sequences over finite abelian groups

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let G be a finite abelian group of rank r and let X be a zero-sum free sequence over G whose support supp(X) generates G. In 2009, Pixton proved that | Σ ( X ) | ≥ 2 r - 1 ( | X | - r + 2 ) - 1 for r ≤ 3. We show that this result also holds for abelian groups G of rank 4 if the smallest prime p dividing |G| satisfies p ≥ 13.

An elementary class extending abelian-by- G groups, for G infinite

Similarity:

We show that for no infinite group G the class of abelian-by- G groups is elementary, but, at least when G is an infinite elementary abelian p -group (with p prime), the class of groups admitting a normal abelian subgroup whose quotient group is elementarily equivalent to G is elementary.
