A finitely generated abelian group has a finite generating set. Equivalently, it is the cokernel of a homomorphism between finitely generated free abelian groups.
The hidden subgroup problem for a group is specified by an oracle that hides an unknown subgroup : it is constant on each left coset of and takes distinct values on distinct cosets. The task is to determine , usually by finding a generating set for it.
