  2. p-group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-group

    The powers P n are normal subgroups of E(p), and the example groups are E(p,n) = E(p)/P n. E(p,n) has order p n+1 and nilpotency class n, so is a p-group of maximal class. When p = 2, E(2,n) is the dihedral group of order 2 n. When p is odd, both W(2) and E(p,p) are irregular groups of maximal class and order p p+1, but are not isomorphic.

    For example, the dihedral group D 8 of order sixteen can be generated by a rotation, r, of order 8; and a flip, f, of order 2; and certainly any element of D 8 is a product of r ' s and f ' s. However, we have, for example, rfr = f −1 , r 7 = r −1 , etc., so such products are not unique in D 8 .

  4. Class of groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_of_groups

    A class of groups is a set-theoretical collection of groups satisfying the property that if G is in the collection then every group isomorphic to G is also in the collection. This concept arose from the necessity to work with a bunch of groups satisfying certain special property (for example finiteness or commutativity ).

  5. Category of groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_of_groups

    Every morphism f : G → H in Grp has a category-theoretic kernel (given by the ordinary kernel of algebra ker f = {x in G | f(x) = e}), and also a category-theoretic cokernel (given by the factor group of H by the normal closure of f(G) in H). Unlike in abelian categories, it is not true that every monomorphism in Grp is the kernel of its ...

  6. Normal form for free groups and free product of groups

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_form_for_free...

    A free group has a unique normal form i.e. each element in is represented by a unique reduced word. Proof. An elementary transformation of a word w ∈ G {\displaystyle w\in G} consists of inserting or deleting a part of the form a a − 1 {\displaystyle aa^{-1}} with a ∈ S ± {\displaystyle a\in S^{\pm }} .

  7. Monster group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_group

    The minimal degree of a faithful complex representation is 47 × 59 × 71 = 196,883, hence is the product of the three largest prime divisors of the order of M. The smallest faithful linear representation over any field has dimension 196,882 over the field with two elements, only one less than the dimension of the smallest faithful complex representation.

    General linear group, denoted by GL(n, F), is the group of n-by-n invertible matrices, where the elements of the matrices are taken from a field F such as the real numbers or the complex numbers. Group representation (not to be confused with the presentation of a group). A group representation is a homomorphism from a group to a general linear ...

  9. Free group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_group

    A free group of finite rank n > 1 has an exponential growth rate of order 2n − 1. A few other related results are: The Nielsen–Schreier theorem: Every subgroup of a free group is free. Furthermore, if the free group F has rank n and the subgroup H has index e in F, then H is free of rank 1 + e(n–1).
