The Small Davenport Constant of the Heisenberg Group of Order 125

Godara and Sarkar proved $\mathsf{d}(H_{27})=6$ for the exponent-$p$ Heisenberg group and posed $\mathsf{d}(H_{p^3})=3p-3$ for every odd prime $p$, leaving $p\ge5$ open. The paper settles the first open case, $\mathsf{d}(H_{125})=12$, the upper bound reducing to a finite spread bound verified by exhaustive search and independently reproduced.

Settles the case p=5. The posed formula for every odd prime remains open.
