Properties of groups | Abelian group theory

Abelian group

In mathematics, an abelian group, also called a commutative group, is a group in which the result of applying the group operation to two group elements does not depend on the order in which they are written. That is, the group operation is commutative. With addition as an operation, the integers and the real numbers form abelian groups, and the concept of an abelian group may be viewed as a generalization of these examples. Abelian groups are named after early 19th century mathematician Niels Henrik Abel. The concept of an abelian group underlies many fundamental algebraic structures, such as fields, rings, vector spaces, and algebras. The theory of abelian groups is generally simpler than that of their non-abelian counterparts, and finite abelian groups are very well understood and . (Wikipedia).

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

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.

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

Normal subgroups

Before we carry on with our coset journey, we need to discover when the left- and right cosets are equal to each other. The obvious situation is when our group is Abelian. The other situation is when the subgroup is a normal subgroup. In this video I show you what a normal subgroup is a

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

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

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
