I can't say for "intuitive", but the introduction to the paper involves breaking p-groups — groups having p^k members where p is a prime — into the cases k > lg(p)^5 and k <= lg(p)^5, which likely explains why the number 5 has crashed the party. (Here lg() denotes the log base 2)
- schoen 3y agoI've wished for a long time that mathematicians would bring back the notation "ld" (logarithmus dualis), which I find very elegant, for log₂. The "ln" is already from Latin (that's why it's ln instead of nl), I think established by Gauss or something.
