Lagrange's theorem (group theory)

In the mathematical field of group theory, Lagrange's theorem is a theorem that states that for any finite group G, the order (number of elements) of every subgroup of G divides the order of G. The theorem is named after Joseph-Louis Lagrange. The following variant states that for a subgroup of a finite group , not only is an integer, but also that its value is the index , defined as the number of left cosets of in . Lagrange's theorem — If H is a subgroup of a group G, then This variant holds even if is infinite, provided that , , and are interpreted as cardinal numbers. (Wikipedia).

Group theory 4: Lagrange's theorem

This is lecture 4 of an online course on mathematical group theory. It introduces Lagrange's theorem that the order of a subgroup divides the order of a group, and uses it to show that all groups of prime order are cyclic, and to prove Fermat's theorem and Euler's theorem.

Lagrange theorem

We finally get to Lagrange's theorem for finite groups. If this is the first video you see, rather start at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OgJi6o9po&t=6s In this video I show you how the set that makes up a group can be partitioned by a subgroup and its cosets. I also take a look at

Chapter 3: Lagrange's theorem, Subgroups and Cosets | Essence of Group Theory

Lagrange's theorem is another very important theorem in group theory, and is very intuitive once you see it the right way, like what is presented here. This video also discusses the idea of subgroups and cosets, which are crucial in the development of the Lagrange's theorem. Other than c

Lagrange's Theorem and Index of Subgroups | Abstract Algebra

We introduce Lagrange's theorem, showing why it is true and follows from previously proven results about cosets. We also investigate groups of prime order, seeing how Lagrange's theorem informs us about every group of prime order - in particular it tells us that any group of prime order p

Proof of Lemma and Lagrange's Theorem

Please Subscribe here, thank you!!! https://goo.gl/JQ8Nys Proof of Lemma and Lagrange's Theorem. This video starts by proving that any two right cosets have the same cardinality. Then we prove Lagrange's Theorem which says that if H is a subgroup of a finite group G then the order of H div

Abstract Algebra 1.6 : Subgroups, Lagrange's Theorem, and the Center

In this video, I introduce Lagranges theorem, using it and other facts to prove many things about groups and their subgroups. I then introduce the center of a group and use it to prove that groups of order prime squared (|G| = p^2) are abelian. Email : fematikaqna@gmail.com Subreddit : ht

Chapter 5: Quotient groups | Essence of Group Theory

Quotient groups is a very important concept in group theory, because it has paramount importance in group homomorphisms (connection with the isomorphism theorem(s)). With this video series, abstract algebra needs not be abstract - one can easily develop intuitions for group theory! In fac
