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 ...
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 ...
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.

The automorphism groups of two infinite-rank free abelian groups have the same first-order theories as each other, if and only if their ranks are equivalent cardinals from the point of view of second-order logic. This result depends on the structure of involutions of free abelian groups, the automorphisms that are their own inverse. Given a ...
The commutator subgroup of a free group of rank k > 1 has infinite rank; for example for F(a,b), it is freely generated by the commutators [a m, b n] for non-zero m and n. The free group in two elements is SQ universal; the above follows as any SQ universal group has subgroups of all countable ranks. Any group that acts on a tree, freely and ...
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
For a small non-abelian example, consider the quaternion group Q 8, which is a smallest non-abelian p-group. It has center {1, −1} of order 2, and its upper central series is {1}, {1, −1}, Q 8; so it is nilpotent of class 2. The direct product of two nilpotent groups is nilpotent. [5] All finite p-groups are in fact nilpotent .
