Abstract
In this paper we study combinatorial aspects of permutations of and related topics. In particular, we prove that there is a unique permutation of such that all the numbers () are powers of two. We also show that for any integer . We conjecture that if a group contains no element of order among then any with can be written as with pairwise distinct. This conjecture is confirmed when is a torsion-free abelian group. We also prove that for any finite subset of a torsion-free abelian group with , there is a numbering of all the elements of such that all the sums are pairwise distinct.
