  2. Order (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_(group_theory)

    The consequences of the theorem include: the order of a group G is a power of a prime p if and only if ord(a) is some power of p for every a in G. [2] If a has infinite order, then all non-zero powers of a have infinite order as well. If a has finite order, we have the following formula for the order of the powers of a: ord(a k) = ord(a) / gcd ...

    The other is the quaternion group for p = 2 and a group of exponent p for p > 2. Order p 4: The classification is complicated, and gets much harder as the exponent of p increases. Most groups of small order have a Sylow p subgroup P with a normal p-complement N for some prime p dividing the order, so can be classified in terms of the possible ...

  4. p-group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-group

    The trivial group is the only group of order one, and the cyclic group C p is the only group of order p. There are exactly two groups of order p 2, both abelian, namely C p 2 and C p × C p. For example, the cyclic group C 4 and the Klein four-group V 4 which is C 2 × C 2 are both 2-groups of order 4.

  5. Sylow theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylow_theorems

    Burnside's p a q b theorem states that if the order of a group is the product of one or two prime powers, then it is solvable, and so the group is not simple, or is of prime order and is cyclic. This rules out every group up to order 30 (= 2 · 3 · 5). If G is simple, and |G| = 30, then n 3 must divide 10 ( = 2 · 5), and n 3 must equal 1 (mod 3).

  6. Elementary abelian group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_abelian_group

    Here, Z/pZ denotes the cyclic group of order p (or equivalently the integers mod p), and the superscript notation means the n-fold direct product of groups. [2] In general, a (possibly infinite) elementary abelian p-group is a direct sum of cyclic groups of order p. [4] (Note that in the finite case the direct product and direct sum coincide ...

    Order: 2 9 ⋅ 3 4 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 3 ⋅ 11 ⋅ 19 ⋅ 31 = 460815505920 Schur multiplier: Order 3. Outer automorphism group: Order 2. Other names: O'Nan–Sims group, O'NS, O–S Remarks: The triple cover has two 45-dimensional representations over the field with 7 elements, exchanged by an outer automorphism.

  8. Extra special group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_special_group

    Recall that a finite group is called a p-group if its order is a power of a prime p. A p-group G is called extraspecial if its center Z is cyclic of order p, and the quotient G/Z is a non-trivial elementary abelian p-group. Extraspecial groups of order p 1+2n are often denoted by the symbol p 1+2n. For example, 2 1+24 stands for an extraspecial ...

    L 2 (3) ≅ A 4 A 3 ≅ C 3 via the quotient by the Klein 4-group; L 2 (5) ≅ A 5. To construct such an isomorphism, one needs to consider the group L 2 (5) as a Galois group of a Galois cover a 5: X(5) → X(1) = P 1, where X(N) is a modular curve of level N. This cover is ramified at 12 points.
