Groups of prime-square order

From Groupprops

Let be a prime number. There are two groups of order , namely:

Group name Symbols typically used for group Description of group Probability in cohomology tree probability distribution
cyclic group of prime-square order cyclic group whose order is
elementary abelian group of prime-square order , , elementary abelian group whose order is

Both of these are abelian groups.

For a proof that these are the only groups of prime-square order, see classification of groups of prime-square order.

Particular cases

Value of prime number Cyclic group of order Elementary abelian group of order
2 cyclic group:Z4 Klein four-group
3 cyclic group:Z9 elementary abelian group:E9
5 cyclic group:Z25 elementary abelian group:E25
