\(n\)-cyclicizer groups. (Q648480)

The cyclicizer of an element \(x\) of a group \(G\) is defined by \(\text{Cyc}_G(x)=\{y\in G\mid\langle x,y\rangle\) is cyclic\} and \(G\) is said to be an \(n\)-cyclicizer group, if \(|\{\text{Cyc}_G(x)\mid x\in G\}|=n\). The author shows that there is no finite \(n\)-cyclicizer group for \(n=2\), \(3\). Moreover, these are the only exceptions, that is, for any positive integer \(n\neq 2\), \(3\), there exists a finite \(n\)-cyclicizer group, whose structure may be described very well when \(4\leq n\leq 8\).
