Let G be a finite group, and let Using recent work by Crandall, Dilcher and Pomerance on the Fermat quotient, we show the following: if G is abelian, and the order of G is not divisible by 1024, nor by the square of any Wieferich prime larger than 4\_10 12 , and H is any abelian group for which 7 G

β¦ Synopsis
Ledrappier introduced the following type of space of doubly indexed sequences over a finite abelian group G, X G := (x s,t ) β G Z 2 | x s,t+1 = x s,t + x s+1,t for all s, t β Z .
The group Z 2 acts naturally on the space X G via left and upward shifts. We show that the periodic point data of X G determine the group G up to isomorphism. This is extending work of Ward, using a new way to calculate periodic point numbers based on the study of polynomials over Z/p n /Z and TeichmΓΌller systems. Our approach unifies Ward's treatment of the two known Wieferich primes with that of all other primes and settles the cases of arbitrary Wieferich primes and the prime two.

Single-frequency oscillations of a reversible mechanical system are considered. It is shown that the oscillation period of a non-linear system usually only depends on a single parameter and it is established that, at a critical point of the family, at which the derivative of the period with respect
