The Herzog-Sch\"onheim Conjecture for small groups and harmonic subgroups

Group Theory 2018-03-12 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We prove that the Herzog-Sch\"onheim Conjecture holds for any group GG of order smaller than 14401440. In other words we show that in any non-trivial coset partition {giUi}i=1n\{g_i U_i\}_{i=1}^n of GG there exist distinct 1i,jn1 \leq i, j \leq n such that [G:Ui]=[G:Uj][G:U_i]=[G:U_j]. We also study interaction between the indices of subgroups having cosets with pairwise trivial intersection and harmonic integers. We prove that if U1U_1,...,UnU_n are subgroups of GG which have pairwise trivially intersecting cosets and n4n \leq 4 then [G:U1][G:U_1],...,[G:Un][G:U_n] are harmonic integers.
