Powering-injective group for a set of primes

From Groupprops

Definition

Let be a set of primes. A group is termed -powering-injective if it satisfies the following equivalent definitions:

No. Shorthand Explanation
1 -powering-injective, for each prime For every and every , there exists at most one value such that . In other words, the map is injective from to itself for all .
2 -powering-injective for every -number if and is a natural number all of whose prime divisors are in the set , then there exists at most one element satisfying . In other words, the power map is injective for all -numbers .
