The rank of a symmetry group is closely related to the complexity of the object (a molecule, a crystal structure) being under the action of the group. If G is a crystallographic point group, then rank(G) is up to 3. [9] If G is a wallpaper group, then rank(G) = 2 to 4. The only wallpaper-group type of rank 4 is p2mm. [10]
The group Q of rational numbers has rank 1. Torsion-free abelian groups of rank 1 are realized as subgroups of Q and there is a satisfactory classification of them up to isomorphism. By contrast, there is no satisfactory classification of torsion-free abelian groups of rank 2. [2] Rank is additive over short exact sequences: if
Some sets of groups have names: The main group elements are the elements of groups 1, 2, and 13–18 (i.e. the s-block and p-block). [5] The transition elements are the elements of groups 3–12 (i.e. the d-block) – this in particular includes group 12 (although some sources do not include it). [5] The inner transition elements are f-block ...
A non-finitely generated countable example is given by the additive group of the polynomial ring [] (the free abelian group of countable rank). More complicated examples are the additive group of the rational field Q {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} } , or its subgroups such as Z [ p − 1 ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} [p^{-1}]} (rational numbers ...

The first row of the character table always consists of 1s, and corresponds to the trivial representation (the 1-dimensional representation consisting of 1×1 matrices containing the entry 1). Further, the character table is always square because (1) irreducible characters are pairwise orthogonal, and (2) no other non-trivial class function is ...
This is in fact the significance in group-theoretical terms of the unique non-trivial element of (/,),. An example of a second cohomology group is the Brauer group: it is the cohomology of the absolute Galois group of a field k which acts on the invertible elements in a separable closure:
The group (Z,+) of integers is free of rank 1; a generating set is S = {1}.The integers are also a free abelian group, although all free groups of rank are non-abelian. A free group on a two-element set S occurs in the proof of the Banach–Tarski paradox and is described there.
