The generalized Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv conjecture for finite groups
Let be a finite group. For a sequence over , let denote the maximal length of a zero-sum free sequence, and let denote the least integer such that every sequence over of length at least contains disjoint subsequences, each of length and each having sum zero in .
Generalized Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv conjecture. For every finite group ,
The equality is known for finite Abelian groups, nilpotent groups, groups of the form , dihedral and dicyclic groups, and all non-Abelian groups of order with and prime. The conjecture proposes that it holds for every finite group.
