Properties of groups | Group theory

Finitely generated group

In algebra, a finitely generated group is a group G that has some finite generating set S so that every element of G can be written as the combination (under the group operation) of finitely many elements of S and of inverses of such elements. By definition, every finite group is finitely generated, since S can be taken to be G itself. Every infinite finitely generated group must be countable but countable groups need not be finitely generated. The additive group of rational numbers Q is an example of a countable group that is not finitely generated. (Wikipedia).

Cyclic groups and finite groups

Jacob goes into detail on some particularly important finite groups, and explains how groups and subgroups can be generated by their elements, along with some important consequences.

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

Every Group is a Quotient of a Free Group

First isomorphism theorem: https://youtu.be/ssVIJO5uNeg An explanation of a proof that every finite group is a quotient of a free group. A similar proof also applies to infinite groups because we can consider a free group on an infinite number of elements! Group Theory playlist: https://

GT2. Definition of Subgroup

Abstract Algebra: We define the notion of a subgroup and provide various examples. We also consider cyclic subgroups and subgroups generated by subsets in a given group G. Example include A4 and D8. U.Reddit course materials available at http://ureddit.com/class/23794/intro-to-group-

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.

Definition of a group Lesson 24

In this video we take our first look at the definition of a group. It is basically a set of elements and the operation defined on them. If this set of elements and the operation defined on them obey the properties of closure and associativity, and if one of the elements is the identity el

What is a Group? | Abstract Algebra

Welcome to group theory! In today's lesson we'll be going over the definition of a group. We'll see the four group axioms in action with some examples, and some non-examples as well which violate the axioms and are thus not groups. In a fundamental way, groups are structures built from s
