The space LG is called the free loop group on G. A loop group is any subgroup of the free loop group LG. Examples. An important example of a loop group is the group
Construct a conjugacy closed loop whose left multiplication group is not isomorphic to its right multiplication group. Proposed: by Aleš Drápal at Loops '03, Prague 2003; Solved by: Aleš Drápal; Solution: There is such a loop of order 9. In can be obtained in the LOOPS package by the command CCLoop(9,1)
The loops in G are the cycles that start and end at v 0. [4] Let T be a spanning tree of G. Every simple loop in G contains exactly one edge in E \ T; every loop in G is a concatenation of such simple loops. Therefore, the fundamental group of a graph is a free group, in which the number of generators is exactly the number of edges in E \ T.
A loop that is associative is a group. A group can have a strictly nonassociative pique isotope, but it cannot have a strictly nonassociative loop isotope. There are weaker associativity properties that have been given special names. For instance, a Bol loop is a loop that satisfies either:
Similarly, a set of all smooth maps from S 1 to a Lie group G forms an infinite-dimensional Lie group (Lie group in the sense we can define functional derivatives over it) called the loop group. The Lie algebra of a loop group is the corresponding loop algebra.
The first and simplest homotopy group is the fundamental group, denoted (), which records information about loops in a space. Intuitively, homotopy groups record information about the basic shape, or holes , of a topological space.
Two loops can be multiplied by concatenation. With this operation, the loop space is an A ∞-space. That is, the multiplication is homotopy-coherently associative. The set of path components of ΩX, i.e. the set of based-homotopy equivalence classes of based loops in X, is a group, the fundamental group π 1 (X).
The group consisting of all permutations of a set M is the symmetric group of M. p-group If p is a prime number, then a p-group is one in which the order of every element is a power of p. A finite group is a p-group if and only if the order of the group is a power of p. p-subgroup A subgroup that is also a p-group.
