An upper bound for Davenport constant of finite groups

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let GG be a finite (not necessarily abelian) group and let p=p(G)p=p(G) be the smallest prime number dividing ∣G∣|G|. We prove that d(G)≤∣G∣p+9p2−10pd(G)\leq \frac{|G|}{p}+9p^2-10p, where d(G)d(G) denotes the small Davenport constant of GG which is defined as the maximal integer ℓ\ell such that there is a sequence over GG of length ℓ\ell contains no nonempty one-product subsequence.
