In mathematics, the lattice of subgroups of a group is the lattice whose elements are the subgroups of , with the partial ordering being set inclusion. In this lattice, the join of two subgroups is the subgroup generated by their union , and the meet of two subgroups is their intersection .
In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as group theory, the term Z-group refers to a number of distinct types of groups: in the study of finite groups, a Z-group is a finite group whose Sylow subgroups are all cyclic. in the study of infinite groups, a Z-group is a group which possesses a very general form of central series.
One of the non-abelian groups is the semidirect product of a normal cyclic subgroup of order p 2 by a cyclic group of order p. 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.
A proper subgroup of a group G is a subgroup H which is a proper subset of G (that is, H ≠ G). This is often represented notationally by H < G, read as "H is a proper subgroup of G". Some authors also exclude the trivial group from being proper (that is, H ≠ {e} ). [2] [3] If H is a subgroup of G, then G is sometimes called an overgroup of H.
The principal congruence subgroup of level 2, Γ(2), is also called the modular group Λ. Since PSL(2, Z/2Z) is isomorphic to S 3, Λ is a subgroup of index 6. The group Λ consists of all modular transformations for which a and d are odd and b and c are even.
The center is a normal subgroup, Z(G) ⊲ G, and also a characteristic subgroup, but is not necessarily fully characteristic. The quotient group, G / Z(G), is isomorphic to the inner automorphism group, Inn(G). A group G is abelian if and only if Z(G) = G.
If we then let N be the subgroup of F generated by all conjugates x −1 Rx of R, then it follows by definition that every element of N is a finite product x 1 −1 r 1 x 1... x m −1 r m x m of members of such conjugates. It follows that each element of N, when considered as a product in D 8, will also evaluate to 1; and thus that N is a ...
If G is the semidirect product of the normal subgroup N and the subgroup H, and both N and H are finite, then the order of G equals the product of the orders of N and H. This follows from the fact that G is of the same order as the outer semidirect product of N and H, whose underlying set is the Cartesian product N × H.
