Abstract

Let GG be a group and H1H_1,...,HsH_s be subgroups of GG of indices d1d_1,...,dsd_s respectively. In 1974, M. Herzog and J. Sch\"onheim conjectured that if {Hiαi}i=1i=s\{H_i\alpha_i\}_{i=1}^{i=s}, αiG\alpha_i\in G, is a coset partition of GG, then d1d_1,..,dsd_s cannot be distinct. In this paper, we present a new approach to the Herzog-Sch\"onheim conjecture based on automata and present a translation of the conjecture as a problem on automata.
