%N A327924 Square array read by ascending antidiagonals: T(m,n) is the number of non-isomorphic groups G such that G is the semidirect product of C_m and C_n, where C_m is a normal subgroup of G and C_n is a subgroup of G.
%C A327924 The semidirect product of C_m and C_n has group representation G = <x, y|x^m = y^n = 1, yxy^(-1) = x^r>, where r is any number such that r^n == 1 (mod m). Two groups G = <x, y|x^m = y^n = 1, yxy^(-1) = x^r> and G' = <x, y|x^m = y^n = 1, yxy^(-1) = x^s> are isomorphic if and only if there exists some k, gcd(k,n) = 1 such that r^k == s (mod m), in which case f(x^i*y^j) = x^i*y^(k*j) is an isomorphic mapping from G to G'.
%C A327924 Given m, T(m,n) only depends on the value of gcd(n,psi(m)), psi = A002322 (Carmichael lambda). So each row is periodic with period psi(m). See A327925 for an alternative version.
%C A327924 Every number k occurs in the table. By Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions, there exists a prime p such that p == 1 (mod 2^(k-1)), then T(p,2^(k-1)) = d(gcd(2^(k-1),p-1)) = k (see the formula below). For example, T(5,4) = 3, T(17,8) = 4, T(17,16) = 5, T(97,32) = 6, T(193,64) = 7, ...
%C A327924 Row m and Row m' are the same if and only if (Z/mZ)* = (Z/m'Z)*, where (Z/mZ)* is the multiplicative group of integers modulo m. The if part is clear; for the only if part, note that the two sequences {(number of x in (Z/mZ)* such that x^n = 1)}_{n>=1} and {T(m,n)}_{n>=1} determine each other, and the structure of a finite abelian group G is uniquely determined by the sequence {(number of x in G such that x^n = 1)}_{n>=1}. - _Jianing Song_, May 16 2022

%F A327924 T(m,n) = Sum_{d|n} (number of elements x such that ord(x,m) = d)/phi(d), where ord(x,m) is the multiplicative order of x modulo m, phi = A000010. There is a version to compute the terms more conveniently, see the links section. [Proof: let (Z/mZ)* denote the multiplicative group modulo m. For every d|n, the elements in (Z/mZ)* having order d are put into different equivalence classes, where each class is of the form {a^k: gcd(k,n)=1}. The size of each equivalence class is the number of different residues modulo d of the numbers that are coprime to n, which is phi(d). - _Jianing Song_, Sep 17 2022]
%F A327924 Equivalently, T(m,n) = Sum_{d|gcd(n,psi(m))} (number of elements x such that ord(x,m) = d)/phi(d). - _Jianing Song_, May 16 2022 [This is because the order of elements in (Z/mZ)* must divide psi(m). - _Jianing Song_, Sep 17 2022]

%e A327924 Example shows that T(16,4) = 6: The semidirect product of C_16 and C_4 has group representation G = <x, y|x^16 = y^4 = 1, yxy^(-1) = x^r>, where r = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15. Since 3^3 == 11 (mod 16), 5^3 == 13 (mod 16), <x, y|x^16 = y^4 = 1, yxy^(-1) = x^3> and <x, y|x^16 = y^4 = 1, yxy^(-1) = x^11> are isomorphic, <x, y|x^16 = y^4 = 1, yxy^(-1) = x^5> and <x, y|x^16 = y^4 = 1, yxy^(-1) = x^13> are isomorphic, giving a total of 6 non-isomorphic groups.
