Calling Sequence

IsPerfectOrderClassesGroup( G )

Parameters

G

-

a finite group

Description

• 

A finite group G is said to have perfect order classes (or subsets) if the length of each of its order classes is a divisor of the order of G.

• 

Apart from the trivial group, every group with perfect order classes has even order.

• 

The IsPerfectOrderClassesGroup( G ) command attempts to determine whether the group G is a group with perfect order classes. It returns true if G has perfect order classes, and returns false otherwise.

IsPerfectOrderClassesGroup⁡Symm⁡3

true

(1)

IsPerfectOrderClassesGroup⁡Symm⁡4

false

(2)
> 

IsPerfectOrderClassesGroup⁡DihedralGroup⁡7

false

(3)
> 

IsPerfectOrderClassesGroup⁡DihedralGroup⁡9

true

(4)

These next two examples demonstrate that the groups with perfect order classes are closed under neither subgroups or quotients.

Compatibility

• 

The GroupTheory[IsPerfectOrderClassesGroup] command was introduced in Maple 2019.
