Zero-sum problems in finite groups
We develop new methods for investigating problems of zero-sum type in general finite groups. We establish a new bound on Davenport’s constant for abelian groups that assymptotically improves the previously known bounds. We use tools from Representation Theory to study properties of zero-sum sequences through nilpotent ideals of group algebras. A new relationship between zero-sum problems and mu...
متن کاملOn three zero-sum Ramsey-type problems
For a graph G whose number of edges is divisible by k, let R(G,Zk) denote the minimum integer r such that for every function f : E(Kr) 7→ Zk there is a copy G′ of G in Kr so that ∑ e∈E(G′) f(e) = 0 (in Zk). We prove that for every integer k, R(Kn, Zk) ≤ n + O(k log k) provided n is sufficiently large as a function of k and k divides ( n 2 ) . If, in addition, k is an odd prime-power then R(Kn, ...
متن کاملA Survey of Zero-sum Problems on Abelian Groups
Let G be a finite abelian group. A zero-sum problem on G asks for the smallest positive integer k such that for any sequence a1, . . . , ak of elements of G there exists a subsequence of required length the sum of whose terms vanishes. In this talk we will give a survey of problems and results in this field. In particular, we will talk about Olson’s theorem on the Davenport constanst of an abel...
متن کاملInverse zero-sum problems in finite Abelian p-groups
— In this paper, we study the minimal number of elements of maximal order within a zero-sumfree sequence in a finite Abelian p-group. For this purpose, in the general context of finite Abelian groups, we introduce a new number, for which lower and upper bounds are proved in the case of finite Abelian p-groups. Among other consequences, the method that we use here enables us to show that, if we ...
متن کاملOn Zero - Sum Problems
Let G be an additive abelian group. The zero-sum problem for G asks for the least positive integer k such that for any a1, · · · , ak ∈ G there is an I ⊆ {1, · · · , k} of required cardinality satisfying ∑ i∈I ai = 0. In this talk we will introduce the famous theorem of P. Erdős, A. Ginzburg and A. Ziv (for G = Zn), and recent results of L. Rónya on the Kemnitz conjecture concerning the group Z...
