Proof
The first statement implies the second.
The second statement implies the first.
The second statement implies the third.
The third statement implies the second.
(d).
(n) > 0 there is an element g
of order n in G. Hence G is cyclic.
d|n,d>0
(d).
Indeed, every element x with xd = e
has order dividing d. By the above formula, the sum of the
number of elements of order m over all divisors m of
d, equals d.
(d) denote the number of elements
in G of order d. Clearly
(1) =
1. For d > 1 we have the formula d =
m|d,m>0
(m), since we can divide the set of elements
x with xd = e into disjoint parts
consisting of those elements that have order m, where m
runs through the divisors of d. This implies that
and
satisfy the same
recursive formula, and thus are the same. In particular we have
proved the second statement.
