Algebraic properties of elements | Group theory

Order (group theory)

In mathematics, the order of a finite group is the number of its elements. If a group is not finite, one says that its order is infinite. The order of an element of a group (also called period length or period) is the order of the subgroup generated by the element. If the group operation is denoted as a multiplication, the order of an element a of a group, is thus the smallest positive integer m such that am = e, where e denotes the identity element of the group, and am denotes the product of m copies of a. If no such m exists, the order of a is infinite. The order of a group G is denoted by ord(G) or |G|, and the order of an element a is denoted by ord(a) or |a|, instead of where the brackets denote the generated group. Lagrange's theorem states that for any subgroup H of a finite group G, the order of the subgroup divides the order of the group; that is, |H| is a divisor of |G|. In particular, the order |a| of any element is a divisor of |G|. (Wikipedia).

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

Group theory 12: Cauchy's theorem

This lecture is part of an online mathematics course on group theory. It gives two proofs of Cauchy's theorem that if a prime p divides the order of a group then the group has an element of that order. It also uses Cauchy's theorem to classify the group of order 2p.

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.

Lecture 1: Invitation to topos theory

I begin by explaining in a simple example the connection between formal reasoning involving distinct concepts, and adjunctions between classifying topoi. This leads to a discussion of models in topoi (focused on the particular example of the theory of abelian groups) then to the syntactic

John GRACEY - Generalized Gross-Neveu Universality Class with Non-abelian Symmetry

We use the large N expansion to compute d-dimensional critical exponents at O(1/N^3) for a generalization of the Gross-Neveu Yukawa universality class that includes a non-abelian symmetry. Specific groups correspond to certain phase transitions in condensed matter physics such as graphene.

Quotient groups

The idea of a quotient group follows easily from cosets and Lagrange's theorem. In this video, we start with a normal subgroup and develop the idea of a quotient group, by viewing each coset (together with the normal subgroup) as individual mathematical objects in a set. This set, under
