On Zero-sum Partitions of Abelian Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, confirming a conjecture of Kaplan et al., we prove that every abelian group G, which is of odd order or contains exactly three involutions, has the zerosum-partition property. As a corollary, every tree with |G| vertices and at most one vertex of degree 2 is G-anti-magic.

non-divisibility for abelian groups
Throughout all groups are abelian. We say a group G is n-divisible if nG = G. If G has no non-zero n-divisible subgroups for all n>1 then we say that G is absolutely non-divisible. In the study of class C consisting all absolutely non-divisible groups such as G, we come across the sub groups T_p(G) = the sum of all p-divisible subgroups and rad_p(G) = the intersection of all p^nG. The proper...
متن کاملShift Invariant Spaces and Shift Preserving Operators on Locally Compact Abelian Groups
We investigate shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact abelian group. We show that every shift invariant space can be decomposed as an orthogonal sum of spaces each of which is generated by a single function whose shifts form a Parseval frame. For a second countable locally compact abelian group $G$ we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range funct...
متن کاملSumsets , Zero - Sums and Extremal Combinatorics
This thesis develops and applies a method of tackling zero-sum additive questions—especially those related to the Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv Theorem (EGZ)—through the use of partitioning sequences into sets, i.e., set partitions. Much of the research can alternatively be found in the literature spread across nine separate articles, but is here collected into one cohesive work augmented by additional ex...
متن کاملSubsequence Sums of Zero-sum Free Sequences over Finite Abelian Groups
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)| ≥ 2r−1(|X| − r + 2) − 1 for r ≤ 3. In this paper, we show that this result also holds for abelian groups G of rank 4 if the smallest prime p dividing |G| satisfies p ≥ 13.
متن کاملZero-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...
