Abstract
A skew morphism of a finite group A is a permutation \(\varphi \) of A fixing the identity element and for which there is an integer-valued function \(\pi \) on A such that \(\varphi (ab)=\varphi (a)\varphi ^{\pi (a)}(b)\) for all \(a, b \in A\). A skew morphism \(\varphi \) of A is smooth if the associated power function \(\pi \) is constant on the orbits of \(\varphi \), that is, \(\pi (\varphi (a))\equiv \pi (a)\pmod {|\varphi |}\) for all \(a\in A\). In this paper, we show that every skew morphism of a cyclic group of order n is smooth if and only if \(n=2^en_1\), where \(0 \le e \le 4\) and \(n_1\) is an odd square-free number. A partial solution to a similar problem on non-cyclic abelian groups is also given.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics provides a single forum for papers on algebraic combinatorics which, at present, are distributed throughout a number of journals. Within the last decade or so, algebraic combinatorics has evolved into a mature, established and identifiable area of mathematics. Research contributions in the field are increasingly seen to have substantial links with other areas of mathematics.
The journal publishes papers in which combinatorics and algebra interact in a significant and interesting fashion. This interaction might occur through the study of combinatorial structures using algebraic methods, or the application of combinatorial methods to algebraic problems.
