Is there a special term for groups, the only subgroups of which are the trivial group and the group itself? Obviously, any such group is a trivial group or a cyclic group of prime order.

    And in fact, "cyclic group of prime order" is the usual name for them.2012-03-15

Yes. They're abelian simple groups, and yes, you've found them all.
