Abstract: An n-dimensional Bieberbach group is the fundamental group of a closed flat $n$-dimensional manifold. K. Dekimpe and P. Penninckx conjectured that an n-dimensional Bieberbach group can be generated by n elements. In this paper, we show that the conjecture is true if the holonomy group is 2-generated (e.g. dihedral group, quaternion group or simple group) or the order of holonomy group is not divisible by 2 or 3. In order to prove this, we show that an n-dimensional Bieberbach group with cyclic holonomy group of order larger than two can be generated by n-1 elements.

Review text

In [Commun. Algebra 37, No. 12, 4332--4345 (2009; Zbl 1197.20043)] \textit{K. Dekimpe} and \textit{P. Penninckx} conjectured that the minimum number of generators of an \(n\)-dimensional Bieberbach group is less than or equal to \(n\). In this paper the author shows that the conjecture is true if the holonomy group is \(2\)-generated or the order of holonomy group is not divisible by \(2\) or \(3\).
