Members of the same conjugacy class cannot be distinguished by using only the group structure, and therefore share many properties. The study of conjugacy classes of non-abelian groups is fundamental for the study of their structure. [1] [2] For an abelian group, each conjugacy class is a set containing one element (singleton set).
The irreducible complex characters of a finite group form a character table which encodes much useful information about the group G in a concise form. Each row is labelled by an irreducible character and the entries in the row are the values of that character on any representative of the respective conjugacy class of G (because characters are class functions).
Suzuki showed that the Suzuki group has q+3 conjugacy classes. Of these, q+1 are strongly real, and the other two are classes of elements of order 4. q 2 +1 Sylow 2-subgroups of order q 2, of index q–1 in their normalizers. 1 class of elements of order 2, 2 classes of elements of order 4.
All the reflections are conjugate to each other whenever n is odd, but they fall into two conjugacy classes if n is even. If we think of the isometries of a regular n-gon: for odd n there are rotations in the group between every pair of mirrors, while for even n only half of the mirrors can be reached from one by these rotations. Geometrically ...
We can easily distinguish three kinds of permutations of the three blocks, the conjugacy classes of the group: no change (), a group element of order 1; interchanging two blocks: (RG), (RB), (GB), three group elements of order 2; a cyclic permutation of all three blocks: (RGB), (RBG), two group elements of order 3
where t and z are non-conjugate involutions, the sum is over a set of representatives x for the conjugacy classes of involutions, and a(x) is the number of ordered pairs of involutions u,v such that u is conjugate to t, v is conjugate to z, and x is the involution in the subgroup generated by tz.
S 6 has exactly one (class) of outer automorphisms: Out(S 6) = C 2. To see this, observe that there are only two conjugacy classes of S 6 of size 15: the transpositions and those of class 2 3. Each element of Aut(S 6) either preserves each of these conjugacy classes, or exchanges them. Any representative of the outer automorphism constructed ...
In D 12 reflections no longer correspond to Sylow 2-subgroups, and fall into two conjugacy classes. By contrast, if n is even, then 4 divides the order of the group, and the subgroups of order 2 are no longer Sylow subgroups, and in fact they fall into two conjugacy classes, geometrically according to whether they pass through two vertices or ...
