Combinatorial group theory

Absolute presentation of a group

In mathematics, an absolute presentation is one method of defining a group. Recall that to define a group by means of a presentation, one specifies a set of generators so that every element of the group can be written as a product of some of these generators, and a set of relations among those generators. In symbols: Informally is the group generated by the set such that for all . But here there is a tacit assumption that is the "freest" such group as clearly the relations are satisfied in any homomorphic image of . One way of being able to eliminate this tacit assumption is by specifying that certain words in should not be equal to That is we specify a set , called the set of irrelations, such that for all (Wikipedia).

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 1.4: Group presentations We begin this lecture by learning how to take a Cayley diagram and label its nodes with the elements of a group. Such a labeled diagram can function as a "group calculator". It leads to the notion of a "group presentation", which is a

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
