let $g$ be a finite group with the identity $e$‎. ‎the subgroup intersection graph $gamma_{si}(g)$ of $g$ is the graph with vertex set $v(gamma_{si}(g)) = g-e$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent in $gamma_{si}(g)$ if and only if $|leftlangle xrightrangle capleftlangle yrightrangle|>1$‎, ‎where $leftlangle xrightrangle $ is the cyclic subgroup of $g$ generated by $xin g$‎. ‎in th...

‎let $g$ be a group and $a=aut(g)$ be the group of automorphisms of‎ ‎$g$‎. ‎then the element $[g,alpha]=g^{-1}alpha(g)$ is an‎ ‎autocommutator of $gin g$ and $alphain a$‎. ‎also‎, ‎the‎ autocommutator subgroup of g is defined to be‎ ‎$k(g)=langle[g,alpha]|gin g‎, ‎alphain arangle$‎, ‎which is a‎ ‎characteristic subgroup of $g$ containing the derived subgroup‎ ‎$g'$ of $g$‎. ‎a group is defined...

‎the number of factorizations of a finite abelian group as the product of two subgroups is computed in two different ways and a combinatorial identity involving gaussian binomial coefficients is presented‎.

it was shown in [a. azimifard, e. samei, n. spronk, jfa 256 (2009)] that the zl-amenability constant of a finite group is always at least~$1$, with equality if and only if the group is abelian. it was also shown in [a. azimifard, e. samei, n. spronk, op cit.] that for any finite non-abelian group this invariant is at least $301/300$, but the proof relies crucially on a deep result of d. a. ride...

This paper describes a quantum algorithm for efficiently decomposing finite Abelian groups. Such a decomposition is needed in order to apply the Abelian hidden subgroup algorithm. Such a decomposition (assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis) also leads to an efficient algorithm for computing class numbers (known to be at least as difficult as factoring).
