The cycle index of the automorphism group of $\mathbb{Z}_n$
Abstract
We consider the group action of the automorphism group on the set , that is the set of residue classes modulo . Clearly, this group action provides a representation of as a permutation group acting on points. One problem to be solved regarding this group action is to find its cycle index. Once it is found, there appears a vast class of related enumerative and computational problems with interesting applications. We provided the cycle index of specified group action in two ways. One of them is more abstract and hence compact, while another one is basically procedure of composing the cycle index from some \textit{building blocks}. However, those \textit{building blocks} are also well explained and finally presented in very detailed fashion.
