Conjugacy class

In mathematics, especially group theory, two elements and of a group are conjugate if there is an element in the group such that This is an equivalence relation whose equivalence classes are called conjugacy classes. In other words, each conjugacy class is closed under for all elements in the group. Members of the same conjugacy class cannot be distinguished by using only the group structure, and therefore share many properties. The study of conjugacy classes of non-abelian groups is fundamental for the study of their structure. For an abelian group, each conjugacy class is a set containing one element (singleton set). Functions that are constant for members of the same conjugacy class are called class functions. (Wikipedia).

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 3.7: Conjugacy classes

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 3.7: Conjugacy classes We were first introduced to the concept of conjugacy when studying normal subgroups: H is normal if every conjugate of H is equal to H. Alternatively, we can fix an element x of G, and ask: "which elements can be written as conjugates o

Cycle types and conjugacy classes of the symmetric group

Cycle types refer to the order of the cycles that a permutation can be decomposed in. The symmetric group gives us another way to examine this topic and how it relates to conjugation classes.

GT18. Conjugacy and The Class Equation

Abstract Algebra: We consider the group action of the group G on itself given by conjugation. The orbits, called conjugacy classes, partition the group, and we have the Class Equation when G is finite. We also show that the partition applies to normal subgroups. Finally we apply the cla
