The center of the symmetric group, S n, is trivial for n ≥ 3. The center of the alternating group, A n, is trivial for n ≥ 4. The center of the general linear group over a field F, GL n (F), is the collection of scalar matrices, { sI n ∣ s ∈ F \ {0} }. The center of the orthogonal group, O n (F) is {I n, −I n}.
Centre-to-centre distance (c.t.c. distance or ctc distance) is a concept for distances, also called on-center spacing (o.c. spacing or oc spacing), heart distance, and pitch. It is the distance between the centre (the heart) of a column and the centre (the heart) of another column. By expressing a distance in c.t.c., one can measure distances ...
