Generalization of a theorem of Øystein Ore in group theory
Theorem (Øystein Ore, 1938): A finite group $G$ is cyclic iff its lattice of subgroups $\mathcal{L}(G)$ is distributive.
Proof: see below.
Let $(H \subset G)$ be an inclusion of finite groups and $\...

Positivity of the alternating sum of indices for boolean interval of finite groups
Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a subgroup such that the interval $[H,G]$ is a boolean lattice.
Let $L_1, \dots , L_n$ be the maximal subgroups of $G$ containing $H$.
Let the alternative sum ...

Generalization of the fundamental theorem of cyclic groups
Let $G$ be a finite group then the fundamental theorem of cyclic groups can be formulated as follows:
Theorem: $G$ is cyclic iff it admits no two different subgroups with the same order.

Nonvanishing of the dual Euler totient on boolean intervals of finite groups
The rank $n$ boolean lattice $B_n$, is the subset lattice of $\{1,2, \dotsm n \}$.
Let $[H,G]$ be a boolean interval of finite groups. Its Euler totient is defined by $$\varphi(H,G):=\sum_{K \in ...
