Groups of prime-square order
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 |
