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 ...
The quaternions are "essentially" the only (non-trivial) central simple algebra (CSA) over the real numbers, in the sense that every CSA over the real numbers is Brauer equivalent to either the real numbers or the quaternions. Explicitly, the Brauer group of the real numbers consists of two classes, represented by the real numbers and the ...
The seven major dog groups in the U.S. are Herding, Hound, Non-Sporting, Sporting, Terrier, Toy and Working. Initially, when the AKC got its start in 1884, it tossed all dog breeds into either the ...
The character table does not in general determine the group up to isomorphism: for example, the quaternion group Q and the dihedral group of 8 elements, D 4, have the same character table. Brauer asked whether the character table, together with the knowledge of how the powers of elements of its conjugacy classes are distributed, determines a ...
The most familiar (and smallest) example of a Hamiltonian group is the quaternion group of order 8, denoted by Q 8. Dedekind and Baer have shown (in the finite and respectively infinite order case) that every Hamiltonian group is a direct product of the form G = Q 8 × B × D , where B is an elementary abelian 2-group , and D is a torsion ...
A pedigree chart is a diagram that shows the occurrence of certain traits through different generations of a family, [1] [2] most commonly for humans, show dogs, and race horses. [ citation needed ] Definition
From this point of view, quaternionic representation of a group G is a group homomorphism φ: G → GL(V, H), the group of invertible quaternion-linear transformations of V. In particular, a quaternionic matrix representation of g assigns a square matrix of quaternions ρ(g) to each element g of G such that ρ(e) is the identity matrix and
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.
