The expression $$ x^n=1\land \forall k<n\colon x^k\ne 1 $$
is a logical conjunction of the two terms
$$ x^n = 1$$ and $$ \forall k<n\colon x^k\ne 1 .$$
You might write it like this to make it clearer how the symbols are grouped into expressions: $$ (x^n=1)\land (\forall k<n\colon x^k\ne 1). $$
This conjunction is true if and only if $x^n=1$ is true and $\forall k<n\colon x^k\ne 1$ is true.
In this context, $\land$ is the logical AND operator \land.
