  2. Nilpotent group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilpotent_group

    If a group has nilpotency class at most n, then it is sometimes called a nil-n group. It follows immediately from any of the above forms of the definition of nilpotency, that the trivial group is the unique group of nilpotency class 0, and groups of nilpotency class 1 are exactly the non-trivial abelian groups.

  3. Rank of a group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_of_a_group

    If G is a finitely generated group, then the rank of G is a non-negative integer. The notion of rank of a group is a group-theoretic analog of the notion of dimension of a vector space. Indeed, for p-groups, the rank of the group P is the dimension of the vector space P/Φ(P), where Φ(P) is the Frattini subgroup.

  4. Wyckoff positions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyckoff_positions

    Each space group has only one general position. Special positions are left invariant by the identity operation and at least one other operation of the space group. General positions have a site symmetry of the trivial group and all correspond to the same Wyckoff position. Special positions have a non-trivial site symmetry group.

  5. Rank of an abelian group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_of_an_abelian_group

    In particular, any intermediate group Z n < A < Q n has rank n. Abelian groups of rank 0 are exactly the periodic abelian groups. The group Q of rational numbers has rank 1. Torsion-free abelian groups of rank 1 are realized as subgroups of Q and there is a satisfactory classification of them up to isomorphism. By contrast, there is no ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_group_theory

    A subgroup of a group is said to be transitively normal in the group if every normal subgroup of the subgroup is also normal in the whole group. trivial group A trivial group is a group consisting of a single element, namely the identity element of the group. All such groups are isomorphic, and one often speaks of the trivial group.

  7. Torsion-free abelian group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion-free_abelian_group

    A non-finitely generated countable example is given by the additive group of the polynomial ring [] (the free abelian group of countable rank). More complicated examples are the additive group of the rational field Q {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} } , or its subgroups such as Z [ p − 1 ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} [p^{-1}]} (rational numbers ...

  8. Group cohomology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_cohomology

    This is in fact the significance in group-theoretical terms of the unique non-trivial element of (/,),. An example of a second cohomology group is the Brauer group: it is the cohomology of the absolute Galois group of a field k which acts on the invertible elements in a separable closure:

  9. List of finite simple groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_finite_simple_groups

    F 4 (q) has a non-trivial graph automorphism when q is a power of 2. These groups are the automorphism groups of 8-dimensional Cayley algebras over finite fields, which gives them 7-dimensional representations. They also act on the corresponding Lie algebras of dimension 14. G 2 (q) has a non-trivial graph automorphism when q is a power of 3
