The spectrum of group-based Latin squares

Abstract

We construct sequencings for many groups that are a semi-direct product of an odd-order abelian group and a cyclic group of odd prime order. It follows from these constructions that there is a group-based complete Latin square of order $n$ if and only if $n\in \{1,2,4\}$ or there is a non-abelian group of order $n$.
