You might find that for certain groups, the commutative property hold. In this video we will assume the existence of such a group and prove a few properties that it may have, by way of some example problems.

AlgTopReview4: Free abelian groups and non-commutative groups
Free abelian groups play an important role in algebraic topology. These are groups modelled on the additive group of integers Z, and their theory is analogous to the theory of vector spaces. We state the Fundamental Theorem of Finitely Generated Commutative Groups, which says that any such

Group theory 2: Cayley's theorem
This is lecture 2 of an online mathematics course on group theory. It describes Cayley's theorem that every abstract group is the group of symmetries of something, and as examples shows the Cayley graphs of the Klein 4-group and the symmetric group on 3 points.

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

Camille Horbez: Measure equivalence and right-angled Artin groups
Given a finite simple graph X, the right-angled Artin group associated to X is defined by the following very simple presentation: it has one generator per vertex of X, and the only relations consist in imposing that two generators corresponding to adjacent vertices commute. We investigate

Uri Bader - 3/4 Algebraic Representations of Ergodic Actions
Ergodic Theory is a powerful tool in the study of linear groups. When trying to crystallize its role, emerges the theory of AREAs, that is Algebraic Representations of Ergodic Actions, which provides a categorical framework for various previously studied concepts and methods. Roughly, this

Piotr Przytycki: Torsion groups do not act on 2-dimensional CAT(0) complexes
We show, under mild hypotheses, that if each element of a finitely generated group acting on a 2-dimensional CAT(0) complex has a fixed point, then the action is trivial. In particular, all actions of finitely generated torsion groups on such complexes are trivial. As an ingredient, we pro

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 3.5: Quotient groups Like how a direct product can be thought of as a way to "multiply" two groups, a quotient is a way to "divide" a group by one of its subgroups. We start by defining this in terms of collapsing Cayley diagrams, until we get a conjecture abo

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

Commensurability between right-angled Coxeter & Artin groups-Prof. Pallavi Dani (Louisiana State U.)
A common theme in geometric group theory is to try to understand when two groups are quasi-isometric (or "geometrically close") and when they are commensurable (or "algebraically close"), and when these two notions coincide. Davis-Januszkiewicz showed that every right-angled Artin group (R
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
