    A directorial republic is a government system with power divided among a college of several people who jointly exercise the powers of a head of state and/or a head of government. Merchant republic: In the early Renaissance, a number of small, wealthy, trade-based city-states embraced republican ideals, notably across Italy and the Baltic.

    The United States order of precedence is an advisory document maintained by the Ceremonials Division of the Office of the Chief of Protocol of the United States which lists the ceremonial order, or relative preeminence, for domestic and foreign government officials (military and civilian) at diplomatic, ceremonial, and social events within the United States and abroad.

  4. Rank of an abelian group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_of_an_abelian_group

    In particular, any intermediate group Z n < A < Q n has rank n. Abelian groups of rank 0 are exactly the periodic abelian groups. 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 ...

  5. Rank of a group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_of_a_group

    Indeed, for p-groups, the rank of the group P is the dimension of the vector space P/Φ(P), where Φ(P) is the Frattini subgroup. The rank of a group is also often defined in such a way as to ensure subgroups have rank less than or equal to the whole group, which is automatically the case for dimensions of vector spaces, but not for groups such ...

    The ranking of sibs is continued today with the use of elder-younger sibling terms between members of different sibs. However, in some language groups the difference in rank between certain pair of sibs is so great that generational divisions are brought into play. This results in an unusual and initially surprising usage of cognatic terminology.

  7. List of finite simple groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_finite_simple_groups

    F 4 (q) has a non-trivial graph automorphism when q is a power of 2. These groups are the automorphism groups of 8-dimensional Cayley algebras over finite fields, which gives them 7-dimensional representations. They also act on the corresponding Lie algebras of dimension 14. G 2 (q) has a non-trivial graph automorphism when q is a power of 3

  8. Simple Lie group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Lie_group

    Once these are known, the ones with non-trivial center are easy to list as follows. Any simple Lie group with trivial center has a universal cover whose center is the fundamental group of the simple Lie group. The corresponding simple Lie groups with non-trivial center can be obtained as quotients of this universal cover by a subgroup of the ...

  9. Nilpotent group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilpotent_group

    If a group has nilpotency class at most n, then it is sometimes called a nil-n group. It follows immediately from any of the above forms of the definition of nilpotency, that the trivial group is the unique group of nilpotency class 0, and groups of nilpotency class 1 are exactly the non-trivial abelian groups.
