  2. Quaternion group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion_group

    Another characterization is that a finite p-group in which there is a unique subgroup of order p is either cyclic or a 2-group isomorphic to generalized quaternion group. [13] In particular, for a finite field F with odd characteristic, the 2-Sylow subgroup of SL 2 ( F ) is non-abelian and has only one subgroup of order 2, so this 2-Sylow ...

  3. Center (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_(group_theory)

    The center of the quaternion group, Q 8 = {1, −1, i, −i, j, −j, k, −k}, is {1, −1}. The center of the symmetric group, S n, is trivial for n ≥ 3. The center of the alternating group, A n, is trivial for n ≥ 4. The center of the general linear group over a field F, GL n (F), is the collection of scalar matrices, { sI n ∣ s ∈ F ...

  4. Quaternion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion

    The center of the quaternion algebra is the subfield of real quaternions. In fact, it is a part of the definition that the real quaternions belong to the center. Conversely, if q = a + b i + c j + d k belongs to the center, then

  5. History of quaternions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_quaternions

    The group of eight basic unit quaternions, positive and negative, the quaternion group, is also the simplest non-commutative Sylow group. The study of integral quaternions began with Rudolf Lipschitz in 1886, whose system was later simplified by Leonard Eugene Dickson; but the modern system was published by Adolf Hurwitz in 1919.

  6. List of small groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_small_groups

    The other is the quaternion group for p = 2 and a group of exponent p for p > 2. Order p 4 : The classification is complicated, and gets much harder as the exponent of p increases. Most groups of small order have a Sylow p subgroup P with a normal p -complement N for some prime p dividing the order, so can be classified in terms of the possible ...

  7. Binary tetrahedral group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_tetrahedral_group

    The binary tetrahedral group can be written as a semidirect product = where Q is the quaternion group consisting of the 8 Lipschitz units and C 3 is the cyclic group of order 3 generated by ω = − ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (1 + i + j + k). The group Z 3 acts on the normal subgroup Q by conjugation.

  8. Point groups in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_groups_in_three...

    The smallest abstract groups that are not any symmetry group in 3D, are the quaternion group (of order 8), Z 3 × Z 3 (of order 9), the dicyclic group Dic 3 (of order 12), and 10 of the 14 groups of order 16. The column "# of order 2 elements" in the following tables shows the total number of isometry subgroups of types C 2, C i, C s. This ...

  9. Quaternionic structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternionic_structure

    In mathematics, a quaternionic structure or Q-structure is an axiomatic system that abstracts the concept of a quaternion algebra over a field.. A quaternionic structure is a triple (G, Q, q) where G is an elementary abelian group of exponent 2 with a distinguished element −1, Q is a pointed set with distinguished element 1, and q is a symmetric surjection G×G → Q satisfying axioms
