Metric geometry

Isometry group

In mathematics, the isometry group of a metric space is the set of all bijective isometries (i.e. bijective, distance-preserving maps) from the metric space onto itself, with the function composition as group operation. Its identity element is the identity function. The elements of the isometry group are sometimes called motions of the space. Every isometry group of a metric space is a subgroup of isometries. It represents in most cases a possible set of symmetries of objects/figures in the space, or functions defined on the space. See symmetry group. A discrete isometry group is an isometry group such that for every point of the space the set of images of the point under the isometries is a discrete set. In pseudo-Euclidean space the metric is replaced with an isotropic quadratic form; transformations preserving this form are sometimes called "isometries", and the collection of them is then said to form an isometry group of the pseudo-Euclidean space.

Isometry groups of the projective line (I) | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 138 | NJ Wildberger

The projective line can be given a Euclidean structure, just as the affine line can, but it is a bit more complicated. The algebraic structure of this projective line supports some symmetries. Symmetry in mathematics is often most efficiently encoded with the idea of a group--a technical t

Isometry groups of the projective line (II) | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 139 | NJ Wildberger

In this video we show that the algebraic approach to the metrical structure of the projective line, including the group of isometries including rotations and reflections, can all be defined and studied over a finite field. This is quite a remarkable fact. It leads us to think that perhaps

GT9. Group Isomorphisms

Abstract Algebra: In analogy with bijections for sets, we define isomorphisms for groups. We note various properties of group isomorphisms and a method for constructing isomorphisms from onto homomorphisms. We also show that isomorphism is an equivalence relation on the class of groups.

Chapter 6: Homomorphism and (first) isomorphism theorem | Essence of Group Theory

The isomorphism theorem is a very useful theorem when it comes to proving novel relationships in group theory, as well as proving something is a normal subgroup. But not many people can understand it intuitively and remember it just as a kind of algebraic coincidence. This video is about t

Isometry groups in planar geometry | WildTrig: Intro to Rational Trigonometry | N J Wildberger

In this video we look at isometry groups in three planar geometries, the Euclidean (blue) geometry, and two relativistic geometries (red and green). These geometries arise from particular dot products, or symmetric bilinear forms. To simplify the discussion, we first introduce grounded is

23 Algebraic system isomorphism

Isomorphic algebraic systems are systems in which there is a mapping from one to the other that is a one-to-one correspondence, with all relations and operations preserved in the correspondence.

A Natural Proof of the First Isomorphism Theorem (Group Theory)

The first isomorphism theorem is one of the most important theorems in group theory, but the standard proof may seem artificial, like every step of the proof is set up knowing that we're trying to create an isomorphism. In this video, we show an alternate proof with no such tricks using th

Example of Group Isomorphism

Abstract Algebra: An abelian group G has order p^2, where p is a prime number. Show that G is isomorphic to either a cyclic group of order p^2 or a product of cyclic groups of order p. We emphasize that the isomorphic property usually requires construction of an isomorphism.
