Description

• 

A group G is a (CP)-group if each of its elements has prime-power order, where the prime may depend upon the element. A group of prime-power order is a (CP)-group, but there are (CP)-groups, such as S3 , whose order is divisible by more than one prime. This is equivalent to the condition that the centralizer of each non-trivial element is a p-group, for some prime p depending upon the element. It is also equivalent for finite groups to the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of the group being totally disconnected.

• 

A group G is a (CP1)-group if each of its non-trivial elements has prime order where, again, the prime may depend upon the element. Equivalently, a group is a (CP1)-group if the centralizer of each non-trivial element contains only elements of order dividing p, for a prime p depending upon the element. The symmetric group S3 is again an example of a (CP1)-group not of prime exponent.

• 

It is a consequence of these definitions that every (CP1)-group is a (CP)-group. Both (CP)-groups and (CP1)-groups are (CN)-groups.

• 

The IsCPGroup( G ) command returns true if the group G is a (CP)-group and returns false otherwise.

• 

The IsCP1Group( G ) command returns true if the group G is a (CP1)-group and returns false otherwise.

Examples

The symmetric group S3 furnishes an example of a (CP)-group that is not a group of prime power order, and a (CP1)-group that is not of prime exponent.

The symmetric group S4 is also a (CP)-group, but symmetric groups of larger degree are not. However, S4 is not a (CP1)-group.

A cyclic group is a (CP)-group if, and only if, it has prime power order.

seqn=IsCPGroupCyclicGroupn,n=1..20

1=true,2=true,3=true,4=true,5=true,6=false,7=true,8=true,9=true,10=false,11=true,12=false,13=true,14=false,15=false,16=true,17=true,18=false,19=true,20=false

(8)

And cyclic groups are (CP1)-groups precisely when the order is a prime.

seqn=IsCP1GroupCyclicGroupn,n=1..20

1=true,2=true,3=true,4=false,5=true,6=false,7=true,8=false,9=false,10=false,11=true,12=false,13=true,14=false,15=false,16=false,17=true,18=false,19=true,20=false

(9)

Dihedral groups are (CP)-groups just when the degree is a prime power.

seqn=IsCPGroupDihedralGroupn,n=1..20

1=true,2=true,3=true,4=true,5=true,6=false,7=true,8=true,9=true,10=false,11=true,12=false,13=true,14=false,15=false,16=true,17=true,18=false,19=true,20=false

(10)

And, dihedral groups of prime degree are the only ones that are (CP1)-groups.

seqn=IsCP1GroupDihedralGroupn,n=1..20

1=true,2=true,3=true,4=false,5=true,6=false,7=true,8=false,9=false,10=false,11=true,12=false,13=true,14=false,15=false,16=false,17=true,18=false,19=true,20=false

(11)

Groups of prime exponent are (CP1)-groups.
