Z-Groups

A Z-group is a group whose Sylow subgroups are all cyclic.

Main definitions

• IsZGroup G: a predicate stating that all Sylow subgroups of G are cyclic.

Main results

• IsZGroup.isCyclic_abelianization: a finite Z-group has cyclic abelianization.
• IsZGroup.isCyclic_commutator: a finite Z-group has cyclic commutator subgroup.
• IsZGroup.coprime_commutator_index: the commutator subgroup of a finite Z-group is a Hall-subgroup (the commutator subgroup has cardinality coprime to its index).
• isZGroup_iff_exists_mulEquiv: a finite group G is a Z-group if and only if G is isomorphic to a semidirect product of two cyclic subgroups of coprime order.
