Let GG be a group such that any xGx\in G is of order 11 or 22, meaning that x2=ex^2=e where ee is the neutral.

  1. Show that GG is abelian.
    Now we assume that GG is finite.
  2. Show that GG can be generated by a finite family.
  3. Show that there exists a group isomorphism between GG and some (Z/2Z)n(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^n where nn is a positive integer.

PS: We recommand the user to not use any bazooka like Fröbenius classification theorem (which says that any finite abelian group is isomorphic to a product of Z/piZ\mathbb{Z}/p^i\mathbb{Z} where pp is prime) or Cauchy lemma (which says that if pp prime divides G\vert G\vert then there exists an element of order pp in GG).
