Abstract
We study phylogenetic complexity of finite abelian groups-an invariant introduced by Sturmfels and Sullivant (2005). The invariant is hard to compute-so far it was only known for Z(2), in which case it equals 2 (Sturmfels and Sullivant, 2005), (Chifman and Petrovic, 2007). We prove that phylogenetic complexity of any group Z(p), where p is prime, is finite. We also show, as conjectured by Sturmfels and Sullivant, that the phylogenetic complexity of Z(3) equals 3.
