Permutations over cyclic groups

Combinatorics 2014-04-22 v1

Abstract

Generalizing a result in the theory of finite fields we prove that, apart from a couple of exceptions that can be classified, for any elements a1,...,ama_1,...,a_m of the cyclic group of order mm, there is a permutation π\pi such that 1aπ(1)+...+maπ(m)=01a_{\pi(1)}+...+ma_{\pi(m)}=0.
