Abstract

Let CnC_n be the cyclic group of order nn. In this paper, we provide the exact values of some zero-sum constants over CnsC2C_n \rtimes_s C_2 where s≢±1(modn)s \not\equiv \pm1 \pmod n, namely η\eta-constant, Gao constant, and Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant (the latter for all but a "small" family of cases). As a consequence, we prove the Gao's and Zhuang-Gao's Conjectures for groups of this form. We also solve the associated inverse problems by characterizing the structure of product-one free sequences over CnsC2C_n \rtimes_s C_2 of maximum length.
