Abstract
A skew morphism of a finite group is a permutation of fixing the identity element and for which there is an integer-valued function on such that for all . A skew morphism of is smooth if the associated power function is constant on the orbits of , that is, for all . In this paper we show that every skew morphism of a cyclic group of order is smooth if and only if , where and is an odd square-free number. A partial solution to a similar problem on non-cyclic abelian groups is also given.
