Review text

Let \(G\) be a finite Abelian group and let \({\mathcal U}(G)\) be the set of minimal zero-sequences of \(G\). If \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) are in \({\mathcal U}(G)\), then \(M_1\equiv M_2\) if there is an automorhism \(\phi\) of \(G\) such that \(M_2=\phi(M_1)\). The authors investigate this equivalence relation in the case \(G=\mathbb{Z}_p\). They obtain several arithmetic applications.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0964.00058].
