Abstract

Let C2C_2 be the cyclic group of order 22 and D2nD_{2n} be the dihedral group of order 2n2n, where nn is even. In this paper, we provide the exact values of some zero-sum constants over D2n×C2D_{2n} \times C_2, namely small Davenport constant, Gao constant, η\eta-constant and Erd\H os-Ginzburg-Ziv constant. As a consequence, we prove the Gao's and Zhuang-Gao's Conjectures for this group. These are the first concrete results on zero-sum problems for a family of non-abelian groups of rank greater than 22.
