Weisstein, Eric W. "Modulo Multiplication Group". MathWorld. Weisstein, Eric W. "Primitive Root". MathWorld. Web-based tool to interactively compute group tables by John Jones; OEIS sequence A033948 (Numbers that have a primitive root (the multiplicative group modulo n is cyclic))
In mathematics, a finite field or Galois field (so-named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains a finite number of elements.As with any field, a finite field is a set on which the operations of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division are defined and satisfy certain basic rules.
The Conway polynomial is chosen to be primitive, so that each of its roots generates the multiplicative group of the associated finite field. The field F p n contains a unique subfield isomorphic to F p m for each m dividing n, and this accounts for all the subfields of F p n. For any m dividing n the cyclic group F * p n contains a subgroup ...
The group scheme of n-th roots of unity is by definition the kernel of the n-power map on the multiplicative group GL(1), considered as a group scheme.That is, for any integer n > 1 we can consider the morphism on the multiplicative group that takes n-th powers, and take an appropriate fiber product of schemes, with the morphism e that serves as the identity.
The multiplicative inverse for an element a of a finite field can be calculated a number of different ways: By multiplying a by every number in the field until the product is one. This is a brute-force search. Since the nonzero elements of GF(p n) form a finite group with respect to multiplication, a p n −1 = 1 (for a ≠ 0), thus the inverse ...
The multiplicative group of the field is the group whose underlying set is the set of nonzero real numbers {} and whose operation is multiplication. More generally, one speaks of an additive group whenever the group operation is notated as addition; in this case, the identity is typically denoted 0 {\displaystyle 0} , and the inverse of ...
In field theory, a primitive element of a finite field GF(q) is a generator of the multiplicative group of the field. In other words, α ∈ GF(q) is called a primitive element if it is a primitive (q − 1) th root of unity in GF(q); this means that each non-zero element of GF(q) can be written as α i for some natural number i.
Magma has extensive tools for computing in representation theory, including the computation of character tables of finite groups and the Meataxe algorithm. Invariant theory; Magma has a type for invariant rings of finite groups, for which one can primary, secondary and fundamental invariants, and compute with the module structure. Lie theory
