Classifying presentations of finite groups -- the case of dicyclic groups

Abstract

The problem of classifying equivalence classes of presentations up to isomorphism of Cayley graphs is considered in this article in the case of dicyclic groups. The number of equivalence classes of presentations is uniformly bounded - it is a "finite presentation type" case. We find all equivalence classes of presentations of dicyclic groups having two generators. For the dicyclic group of order 4n4n apart from the classical presentation with order multiset {{2n,4}}\{\{2n,4\}\} for all nn there are presentations with order multiset {{4,4}}\{\{4,4\}\}. If nn is odd there is an additional presentation having elements with order multiset {{n,4}}\{\{n,4\}\}. These results may be used in characterizing group structure and properties.
