Closest multiplication tables of groups

Group Theory 2015-09-21 v1

Abstract

Suppose that all groups of order nn are defined on the same set GG of cardinality nn, and let the \emph{distance} of two groups of order nn be the number of pairs (a,b)G×G(a,b)\in G\times G where the two group operations differ. Given a group G()G(\circ) of order nn, we find all groups of order nn, up to isomorphism, that are closest to G()G(\circ).
