Cyclicity degrees of finite groups

Group Theory 2015-04-08 v2

Abstract

We introduce and study the concept of cyclicity degree of a finite group GG. This quantity measures the probability of a random subgroup of GG to be cyclic. Explicit formulas are obtained for some particular classes of finite groups. An asymptotic formula and several minimality/maximality results on cyclicity degrees are also inferred.
