Simple proofs of some generalizations of the Wilson's theorem

In this paper a remarkable simple proof of the Gauss's generalization of the Wilson's theorem is given. The proof is based on properties of a subgroup generated by element of order 2 of a finite abelian group. Some conditions equivalent to the cyclicity of (Phi, •n), where n>=2, is a...
