In this paper, we provide the exact values of some zero-sum constants over $D_{2n} \\times C_2$, namely small Davenport constant, Gao constant, $\\eta$-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 $2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-16T15:37:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B75", "11B50", "11P70" ], "keywords": [ "main zero-sum constants", "first concrete results", "small davenport constant", "non-abelian groups", "dihedral group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
