Power-map criterion for a finite group
by

2026-09-28
For
a
finite group
G
, the
map
x
↦
x
m
is bijective exactly when
m
is
coprime
to
∣
G
∣
. If the two
numbers
are
coprime
, an inverse exponent
modulo
∣
G
∣
gives an inverse
map
. If
a
prime
p
divides both, the
Cauchy theorem for groups
supplies
a
nonidentity element sent to the identity.
