Orthogonality of Latin squares defined by abelian groups

Let G = {g1, ¡K,gn} be a finite abelian group, and let LG = [gij ] be the Latin square defined by gij = gi + gj. Denote by k(G) the largest number of mutually orthogonal system containing LG. In 1948, Paige
showed that if the Sylow 2-subgroup of G is not cyclic, then LG has a transversal. In this paper, we give an constructive proof for this theorem and give some upper bound and lower bound for the number k(G).
