Finitely generated abelian group

In abstract algebra, an abelian group is called finitely generated if there exist finitely many elements in such that every in can be written in the form for some integers . In this case, we say that the set is a generating set of or that generate . Every finite abelian group is finitely generated. The finitely generated abelian groups can be completely classified.

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 4.4: Finitely generated abelian groups

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 4.4: Finitely generated abelian groups We begin this lecture by proving that the cyclic group of order n*m is isomorphic to the direct product of cyclic groups of order n and m if and only if gcd(n,m)=1. Then, we classify all finite abelian groups by decomposi

Group theory 17: Finite abelian groups

This lecture is part of a mathematics course on group theory. It shows that every finitely generated abelian group is a sum of cyclic groups. Correction: At 9:22 the generators should be g, h+ng not g, g+nh

Group theory 31: Free groups

This lecture is part of an online math course on group theory. We review free abelian groups, then construct free (non-abelian) groups, and show that they are given by the set of reduced words, and as a bonus find that they are residually finite.

Abstract Algebra - 11.1 Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups

We complete our study of Abstract Algebra in the topic of groups by studying the Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups. This tells us that every finite abelian group is a direct product of cyclic groups of prime-power order. Video Chapters: Intro 0:00 Before the Fundamental Theorem

Representation theory: Abelian groups

This lecture discusses the complex representations of finite abelian groups. We show that any group is iomorphic to its dual (the group of 1-dimensional representations, and isomorphic to its double dual in a canonical way (Pontryagin duality). We check the orthogonality relations for the

Groups and subgroups

Jacob explains the fundamental concepts in group theory of what groups and subgroups are, and highlights a few examples of groups you may already know. Abelian groups are named in honor of Niels Henrik Abel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Henrik_Abel), who pioneered the subject of

Every Group of Order Five or Smaller is Abelian Proof

Please Subscribe here, thank you!!! https://goo.gl/JQ8Nys Every Group of Order Five or Smaller is Abelian Proof. In this video we prove that if G is a group whose order is five or smaller, then G must be abelian.

Order 2 Elements in Finite Group

Abstract Algebra: Let G be a finite group. (1) If |G| is even, show that G has an odd number of elements of order 2. (2) If G is abelian, we compute the sum of the elements of the group (where group multiplication is written as addition).

RT7.2. Finite Abelian Groups: Fourier Analysis

Representation Theory: With orthogonality of characters, we have an orthonormal basis of L^2(G). We note the basic philosophy behind the Fourier transform and apply it to the character basis. From this comes the definition of convolution, explored in 7.3. Course materials, including pro

GT22. The Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups

Edit for 5:45: Proof of FTFAG needs more steps as follows (thanks to Jack Shotton for the example in the comments): Case 3: First note, if some [xi] does not contain y, then it maps isomorphically to Z/mi in G/H. One can then show that G= [xi] x Gi, where Gi is generated by the other x

Karen Vogtmann - On the cohomological dimension of automorphism groups of RAAGs

The class of right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs) includes free groups and free abelian groups, Both of these have extremely interesting automorphism groups, which share some properties and not others. We are interested in automorphism groups of general RAAGs, and in particular

AlgTopReview4: Free abelian groups and non-commutative groups

Free abelian groups play an important role in algebraic topology. These are groups modelled on the additive group of integers Z, and their theory is analogous to the theory of vector spaces. We state the Fundamental Theorem of Finitely Generated Commutative Groups, which says that any such
