Conjugacy classes may be referred to by describing them, or more briefly by abbreviations such as "6A", meaning "a certain conjugacy class with elements of order 6", and "6B" would be a different conjugacy class with elements of order 6; the conjugacy class 1A is the conjugacy class of the identity which has order 1.
S 6 has exactly one (class) of outer automorphisms: Out(S 6) = C 2. To see this, observe that there are only two conjugacy classes of S 6 of size 15: the transpositions and those of class 2 3. Each element of Aut(S 6) either preserves each of these conjugacy classes, or exchanges them. Any representative of the outer automorphism constructed ...
All the reflections are conjugate to each other whenever n is odd, but they fall into two conjugacy classes if n is even. If we think of the isometries of a regular n-gon: for odd n there are rotations in the group between every pair of mirrors, while for even n only half of the mirrors can be reached from one by these rotations. Geometrically ...
In D 12 reflections no longer correspond to Sylow 2-subgroups, and fall into two conjugacy classes. By contrast, if n is even, then 4 divides the order of the group, and the subgroups of order 2 are no longer Sylow subgroups, and in fact they fall into two conjugacy classes, geometrically according to whether they pass through two vertices or ...
If every conjugacy class in a locally compact group has compact closure, then the group is amenable. Examples of groups with this property include compact groups, locally compact abelian groups, and discrete groups with finite conjugacy classes. [9] By the direct limit property above, a group is amenable if all its finitely generated subgroups ...
Here we consider (homotopy classes of) lifts of paths in the base space X of a fibration : ~. The result has the structure of a groupoid over the base space X. The advantage is that we can drop the condition of connectedness of X.
The symmetric group S4, consisting of all 24 permutations of four elements, has five conjugacy classes. And you can compute that there are five conjugacy classes by taking the integer partition of 4. But how can you compute how many elements each conjugacy class has? PJ Geest 14:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Every class automorphism is a center-fixing automorphism, that is, it fixes all points in the center. Normal subgroups are characterized as subgroups invariant under class automorphisms. For infinite groups, an example of a class automorphism that is not inner is the following: take the finitary symmetric group on countably many elements and ...
