Isolated subgroups of finite abelian groups

Group Theory 2021-02-10 v1

Abstract

We say that a subgroup HH is isolated in a group GG if for every xGx\in G we have either xHx\in H or xH=1\langle x\rangle\cap H=1. In this short note, we describe the set of isolated subgroups of a finite abelian group. The technique used is based on an interesting connection between isolated subgroups and the function sum of element orders of a finite group.
