Abstract: | Summary LetG be an additively written abelian group and leth: G G be a given function. M. Hall Jr. (1952) and L. Fuchs (1958) already answered the following question. For what functionsh: G G does the functional equation(x) + (x) = h(x) (x G) have as its solution a pair of permutations and ofG? In this paper, we give explicit constructions of such a pair, in a number of cases, in particular whenh(x) x andG is finite. We further determine the finite groupsG where the latter, can be chosen to be automorphisms.In the case whereG is an infinite topological group, we study in how far and can be chosen as Borel measurable permutations, given thath: G G itself is Borel measurable. |
