Automorphisms of the symmetric and alternating groups

In group theory, a branch of mathematics, the automorphisms and outer automorphisms of the symmetric groups and alternating groups are both standard examples of these automorphisms, and objects of study in their own right, particularly the exceptional outer automorphism of S6, the symmetric group on 6 elements.

Group automorphisms in abstract algebra

Group automorphisms are bijective mappings of a group onto itself. In this tutorial I define group automorphisms and introduce the fact that a set of such automorphisms can exist. This set is proven to be a subgroup of the symmetric group. You can learn more about Mathematica on my Udem

Symmetric groups

In this video we construct a symmetric group from the set that contains the six permutations of a 3 element group under composition of mappings as our binary operation. The specifics topics in this video include: permutations, sets, groups, injective, surjective, bijective mappings, onto

GT11.1. Automorphisms of A4

Abstract Algebra: We compute the automorphism group of A4, the alternating group on 4 letters. We have that Aut(G) = S4, the symmetric group on 4 letters, Inn(A4) = A4, and Out(A4)=Z/2. We note that the coset structure splits S4 into even and odd permutations. U.Reddit course material

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 2.3: Symmetric and alternating groups

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 2.3: Symmetric and alternating groups In this lecture, we introduce the last two of our "5 families" of groups: (4) symmetric groups and (5) alternating groups. The symmetric group S_n is the group of all n! permutations of {1,...,n}. We see several different

GT17. Symmetric and Alternating Groups

EDIT: at 15:00, we have (abcde) = (abc)(cde) instead of (abc)(ade) Abstract Algebra: We review symmetric and alternating groups. We show that S_n is generated by its 2-cycles and that A_n is generated by its 3-cycles. Applying the latter with the Conjugation Formula, we show that A_5 i

Homomorphisms in abstract algebra

In this video we add some more definition to our toolbox before we go any further in our study into group theory and abstract algebra. The definition at hand is the homomorphism. A homomorphism is a function that maps the elements for one group to another whilst maintaining their structu

Group theory 30: Outer automorphisms

This lecture is part of an online course on group theory. We find the automorphism groups of symmetric groups, and in particular show that the symmetric group on 6 points has "extra" (outer) automorphisms.

Isomorphisms in abstract algebra

In this video I take a look at an example of a homomorphism that is both onto and one-to-one, i.e both surjective and injection, which makes it a bijection. Such a homomorphism is termed an isomorphism. Through the example, I review the construction of Cayley's tables for integers mod 4

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.2: Field automorphisms A field automorphism is a structure preserving map from a field F to itself. This means that it must be both a homomorphism of both the addtive group (F,+) and the multiplicative group (F-{0},*). We show that any automorphism of an ext
