Omega And Agemo Subgroup
In mathematics, or more specifically group theory, the omega and agemo subgroups described the so-called "power structure" of a finite ''p''-group. They were introduced in where they were used to describe a class of finite ''p''-groups whose structure was sufficiently similar to that of finite abelian ''p''-groups, the so-called, regular p-groups. The relationship between power and commutator structure forms a central theme in the modern study of ''p''-groups, as exemplified in the work on uniformly powerful p-groups. The word "agemo" is just "omega" spelled backwards, and the agemo subgroup is denoted by an upside-down omega. Definition The omega subgroups are the series of subgroups of a finite p-group, ''G'', indexed by the natural numbers: :\Omega_i(G) = \langle \ \rangle. The agemo subgroups are the series of subgroups: : \mho^i(G) = \langle \ \rangle. When ''i'' = 1 and ''p'' is odd, then ''i'' is normally omitted from the definition. When ''p'' is even, an o ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and mathematical analysis, analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of mathematical object, abstract objects and the use of pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove them. These objects consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of inference rule, deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms ...

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 of a group, is thus the smallest positive integer such that , where denotes the identity element of the group, and denotes the product of copies of . If no such exists, the order of is infinite. The order of a group is denoted by or , and the order of an element is denoted by or , instead of \operatorname(\langle a\rangle), where the brackets denote the generated group. Lagrange's theorem states that for any subgroup of a finite group , the order of the subgroup divides the order of the group; that is, is a divisor of . In particular, the order of any element is a divisor of . Example The symmetric group S3 h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Powerful P-groups
In mathematics, in the field of group theory, especially in the study of ''p''-groups and pro-''p''-groups, the concept of powerful ''p''-groups plays an important role. They were introduced in , where a number of applications are given, including results on Schur multipliers. Powerful ''p''-groups are used in the study of automorphisms of ''p''-groups , the solution of the restricted Burnside problem , the classification of finite ''p''-groups via the coclass conjectures , and provided an excellent method of understanding analytic pro-''p''-groups . Formal definition A finite ''p''-group G is called powerful if the commutator subgroup ,G/math> is contained in the subgroup G^p = \langle g^p , g\in G\rangle for odd p, or if ,G/math> is contained in the subgroup G^4 for p=2. Properties of powerful ''p''-groups Powerful ''p''-groups have many properties similar to abelian groups, and thus provide a good basis for studying ''p''-groups. Every finite ''p''-group can be expre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Index (group Theory)
In mathematics, specifically group theory, the index of a subgroup ''H'' in a group ''G'' is the number of left cosets of ''H'' in ''G'', or equivalently, the number of right cosets of ''H'' in ''G''. The index is denoted , G:H, or :H/math> or (G:H). Because ''G'' is the disjoint union of the left cosets and because each left coset has the same size as ''H'', the index is related to the orders of the two groups by the formula :, G, = , G:H, , H, (interpret the quantities as cardinal numbers if some of them are infinite). Thus the index , G:H, measures the "relative sizes" of ''G'' and ''H''. For example, let G = \Z be the group of integers under addition, and let H = 2\Z be the subgroup consisting of the even integers. Then 2\Z has two cosets in \Z, namely the set of even integers and the set of odd integers, so the index , \Z:2\Z, is 2. More generally, , \Z:n\Z, = n for any positive integer ''n''. When ''G'' is finite, the formula may be written as , G:H, = , G, /, H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Frattini Subgroup
In mathematics, particularly in group theory, the Frattini subgroup \Phi(G) of a group is the intersection of all maximal subgroups of . For the case that has no maximal subgroups, for example the trivial group or a Prüfer group, it is defined by \Phi(G)=G. It is analogous to the Jacobson radical in the theory of rings, and intuitively can be thought of as the subgroup of "small elements" (see the "non-generator" characterization below). It is named after Giovanni Frattini, who defined the concept in a paper published in 1885. Some facts * \Phi(G) is equal to the set of all non-generators or non-generating elements of . A non-generating element of is an element that can always be removed from a generating set; that is, an element ''a'' of such that whenever is a generating set of containing ''a'', X \setminus \ is also a generating set of . * \Phi(G) is always a characteristic subgroup of ; in particular, it is always a normal subgroup of . * If is finite, then \P ...

Commutators
In mathematics, the commutator gives an indication of the extent to which a certain binary operation fails to be commutative. There are different definitions used in group theory and ring theory. Group theory The commutator of two elements, and , of a group , is the element : . This element is equal to the group's identity if and only if and commute (from the definition , being equal to the identity if and only if ). The set of all commutators of a group is not in general closed under the group operation, but the subgroup of ''G'' generated by all commutators is closed and is called the ''derived group'' or the ''commutator subgroup'' of ''G''. Commutators are used to define nilpotent and solvable groups and the largest abelian quotient group. The definition of the commutator above is used throughout this article, but many other group theorists define the commutator as :. Identities (group theory) Commutator identities are an important tool in group theory. The e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Socle (mathematics)
In mathematics, the term socle has several related meanings. Socle of a group In the context of group theory, the socle of a group ''G'', denoted soc(''G''), is the subgroup generated by the minimal normal subgroups of ''G''. It can happen that a group has no minimal non-trivial normal subgroup (that is, every non-trivial normal subgroup properly contains another such subgroup) and in that case the socle is defined to be the subgroup generated by the identity. The socle is a direct product of minimal normal subgroups. As an example, consider the cyclic group Z12 with generator ''u'', which has two minimal normal subgroups, one generated by ''u''4 (which gives a normal subgroup with 3 elements) and the other by ''u''6 (which gives a normal subgroup with 2 elements). Thus the socle of Z12 is the group generated by ''u''4 and ''u''6, which is just the group generated by ''u''2. The socle is a characteristic subgroup, and hence a normal subgroup. It is not necessarily transitively ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Normal Subgroup
In abstract algebra, a normal subgroup (also known as an invariant subgroup or self-conjugate subgroup) is a subgroup that is invariant under conjugation by members of the group of which it is a part. In other words, a subgroup N of the group G is normal in G if and only if gng^ \in N for all g \in G and n \in N. The usual notation for this relation is N \triangleleft G. Normal subgroups are important because they (and only they) can be used to construct quotient groups of the given group. Furthermore, the normal subgroups of G are precisely the kernels of group homomorphisms with domain G, which means that they can be used to internally classify those homomorphisms. Évariste Galois was the first to realize the importance of the existence of normal subgroups. Definitions A subgroup N of a group G is called a normal subgroup of G if it is invariant under conjugation; that is, the conjugation of an element of N by an element of G is always in N. The usual notation for thi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Normal Series
In mathematics, specifically group theory, a subgroup series of a group G is a chain of subgroups: :1 = A_0 \leq A_1 \leq \cdots \leq A_n = G where 1 is the trivial subgroup. Subgroup series can simplify the study of a group to the study of simpler subgroups and their relations, and several subgroup series can be invariantly defined and are important invariants of groups. A subgroup series is used in the subgroup method. Subgroup series are a special example of the use of filtrations in abstract algebra. Definition Normal series, subnormal series A subnormal series (also normal series, normal tower, subinvariant series, or just series) of a group ''G'' is a sequence of subgroups, each a normal subgroup of the next one. In a standard notation :1 = A_0\triangleleft A_1\triangleleft \cdots \triangleleft A_n = G. There is no requirement made that ''A''''i'' be a normal subgroup of ''G'', only a normal subgroup of ''A''''i'' +1. The quotient groups ''A''''i'' +1/''A ...
