On the Classification of Perfect Prishchepov Groups

Group Theory 2026-02-10 v1

Abstract

We study the Prishchepov groups P(r,n,k,s,q)P(r,n,k,s,q), a unifying family of cyclically presented groups that encompasses many classical cases. For nn coprime to 66, we prove a conjecture essentially characterizing when these groups are perfect: namely, nn divides either 2(k1)q2(k-1)-q (if rsr \geq s) or q(r+s)q(r+s). This settles the classification of perfect Prishchepov groups under the co-primality condition.
