Division lattice

The division lattice is an infinite complete bounded distributive lattice whose elements are the natural numbers ordered by divisibility. Its least element is 1, which divides all natural numbers, while its greatest element is 0, which is divisible by all natural numbers. The meet operation is greatest common divisor while the join operation is least common multiple. The prime numbers are precisely the atoms of the division lattice, namely those natural numbers divisible only by themselves and 1. For any square-free number n, its divisors form a Boolean algebra that is a sublattice of the division lattice. The elements of this sublattice are representable as the subsets of the set of prime factors of n. The converse also holds, namely that every sublattice of the division lattice that forms a Boolean algebra is the lattice of divisors of a square-free number. (Wikipedia).

Algebra 1 2.09b - Division

Dividing by a number is the same thing as multiplying by a reciprocal. This concept is particularly applicable when dividing by a fraction. Several examples are worked out and explained. From chapter 2 of the Algebra 1 course by Derek Owens

Product groups

Now that we have defined and understand quotient groups, we need to look at product groups. In this video I define the product of two groups as well as the group operation, proving that it is indeed a group.

Group Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to contin

Units in a Ring (Abstract Algebra)

The units in a ring are those elements which have an inverse under multiplication. They form a group, and this “group of units” is very important in algebraic number theory. Using units you can also define the idea of an “associate” which lets you generalize the fundamental theorem of ar

Nihar Gargava - Random lattices as sphere packings

In 1945, Siegel showed that the expected value of the lattice-sums of a function over all the lattices of unit covolume in an n-dimensional real vector space is equal to the integral of the function. In 2012, Venkatesh restricted the lattice- sum function to a collection of lattices that h

Modular forms: Theta functions in higher dimensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We study theta functions of even unimodular lattices, such as the root lattice of the E8 exceptional Lie algebra. As examples we show that one cannot "her the shape of a drum", and calculate the number of minimal vectors

Olivier Debarre: Periods of polarized hyperkähler manifolds​

Abstract: Hyperkähler manifolds are higher-dimensional analogs of K3 surfaces. Verbitsky and Markmann recently proved that their period map is an open embedding. In a joint work with E. Macri, we explicitly determine the image of this map in some cases. I will explain this result together

[ANT13] Dedekind domains, integral closure, discriminants... and some other loose ends

In this video, we see an example of how badly this theory can fail in a non-Dedekind domain, and so - regrettably - we finally break our vow of not learning what a Dedekind domain is.

To an orthogonal group of signature (n,2), or to a unitary group of any signature, one can attach a Shimura variety. The general problem is to describe the integral models of these Shimura varieties, and their reductions modulo various primes. I will give a conjectural description of the s

Product group example

There is no better way of understanding product groups than working through and example. In this video we look at the product group of the cyclic group with two elements and itself. The final result is isomorphic to what we call the Klein 4 group.
