Product Of Groups

In this paper G = F/Fn is studied for F a free product of a finite number of cyclic groups, and Fn the normal subgroup generated by commutators of weight n. The case of n = 4 is completely treated (F/F2 is well known; F/F3 is completely treated in (2)); special cases of n > 4 are studied; a partial conjecture is offered in regard to the unsolved cases. For n = 4 a multiplication table and other properties are given.The problem arose from Golovin's work on nilpotent products ((1), (2), (3)) which are of interest because they are generalizations of the free and direct product of groups: all nilpotent groups are factor groups of nilpotent products in the same sense that all groups are factor groups of free products, and all Abelian groups are factor groups of direct products. In particular (as is well known) every finite Abelian group is a direct product of cyclic groups. Hence it becomes of interest to investigate nilpotent products of finite cyclic groups.

Sylow Tower

AbstractIn this paper we study the behavior of the first Zassenhaus conjecture (ZC1) under direct products, as well as the General Bovdi Problem (Gen-BP), which turns out to be a slightly weaker variant of (ZC1). Among other things, we prove that (Gen-BP) holds for Sylow tower groups, and so in particular for the class of supersolvable groups.(ZC1) is established for a direct product of Sylow-by-abelian groups provided the normal Sylow subgroups form together a Hall subgroup. We also show (ZC1) for certain direct products with one of the factors a Frobenius group.We extend the classical HeLP method to group rings with coefficients from any ring of algebraic integers. This is used to study (ZC1) for the direct product $G\times A$, where $A$ is a finite abelian group and $G$ has order at most 95. For most of these groups we show that (ZC1) is valid and for all of them that (Gen-BP) holds. Moreover, we also prove that (Gen-BP) holds for the direct product of a Frobenius group with any finite abelian group.

Abstract Extending a result by Alon, Linial, and Meshulam to abelian groups, we prove that if G is a finite abelian group of exponent m and S is a sequence of elements of G such that any subsequence of S consisting of at least $$|S| - m\ln |G|$$ elements generates G, then S is an additive basis of G . We also prove that the additive span of any l generating sets of G contains a coset of a subgroup of size at least $$|G{|^{1 - c{ \in ^l}}}$$ for certain c=c(m) and $$ \in = \in (m) < 1$$ ; we use the probabilistic method to give sharper values of c(m) and $$ \in (m)$$ in the case when G is a vector space; and we give new proofs of related known results.

The object of this paper is to prove that for a finite abelian group G the natural map is injective, where Â(G) is the completion of the Burnside ring of G and σ0(BG) is the stable cohomotopy of the classifying space BG of G. The map â is detected by means of an M U* exponential characteristic class for permutation representations constructed in (11). The result is a generalization of a theorem of Laitinen (4) which treats elementary abelian groups using ordinary cohomology. One interesting feature of the present proof is that it makes explicit use of the universality of the formal group law of M U*. It also involves a computation of M U*(BG) in terms of the formal group law. This may be of independent interest. Since writing the paper the author has discovered that M U*(BG) has previously been calculated by Land-weber(5).

Query Algorithms

The Hidden Subgroup Problem (HSP) is at the forefront of problems in quantum algorithms. In this paper, we introduce a new query, the \textit{character} query, generalizing the well-known phase kickback trick that was first used successfully to efficiently solve Deutsch's problem. An equal superposition query with $\vert 0 \rangle$ in the response register is typically used in the ``standard method" of single-query algorithms for the HSP. The proposed character query improves over this query by maximizing the success probability of subgroup identification under a uniform prior, for the HSP in which the oracle functions take values in a finite abelian group. We apply our results to the case when the subgroups are drawn from a set of conjugate subgroups and obtain a success probability greater than that found by Moore and Russell.

Open Question

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group with exponent $m$, and let $S$ be a sequence of elements in $G$. Let $f(S)$ denote the number of elements in $G$ which can be expressed as the sum over a nonempty subsequence of $S$. In this paper, we show that, if $|S|=m$ and $S$ contains no nonempty subsequence with zero sum, then $f(S)\geq 2m-1$. This answers an open question formulated by Gao and Leader. They proved the same result with the restriction $(m,6)=1$.
