Abstract Groups
The abstract group concept. Material based on lectures by Peter Neumann.
http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/HistTopics/Abstract_groups.html

Extractions: Version for printing This article is based on a lecture given by Peter Neumann (a son of Bernhard Neumann and Hanna Neumann ) at a conference at the University of Sussex on 19 March 2001 to celebrate the 90th birthday of Walter Ledermann . The talk was entitled Introduction to the theory of finite groups the title of the famous text written by Walter Ledermann . This article is based on notes taken by EFR at that lecture. The modern definition of a group is usually given in the following way. Definition The first point to make is that 1. is debatable as an axiom since it is a consequence of the definition of a binary operation. However it is not our purpose to debate this here and it is convention that this axiom is included. Where did this, now standard, definition come from? Particularly we wish to examine some moves towards this definition made in the 19

Extractions: There will be no Sage worksheet. Instead, I recommend working directly with GAP, which is an open source computer algebra program, emphasizing computational group theory. To get started with GAP, I recommend going to Alexander Hulpke's page here where you will find versions of GAP for both Windows and Macs and a guide "Abstract Algebra in GAP". The Sage page here provides a front end for GAP and other programs. The first version of these notes was written for a first-year graduate algebra course. As in most such courses, the notes concentrated on abstract groups and, in particular, on finite groups. However, it is not as abstract groups that most mathematicians encounter groups, but rather as algebraic groups, topological groups, or Lie groups, and it is not just the groups themselves that are of interest, but also their linear representations. It is my intention (one day) to expand the notes to take account of this, and to produce a volume that, while still modest in size (c200 pages), will provide a more comprehensive introduction to group theory for beginning graduate students in mathematics, physics, and related fields.

Common Systems Of Coset Representatives - Ashay Dharwadker
Proof of the existence of a common system of representatives for the left and right cosets of a finite subgroup of a group by Ashay Dharwadker.
http://www.dharwadker.org/coset.html

Extractions: ABSTRACT Using the axiom of choice, we prove that given any group G and a finite subgroup H , there always exists a common system of coset representatives for the left and right cosets of H in G . This result played a major role in the proof of the Four Colour Theorem in 2000 and the Grand Unification of the Standard Model with Quantum Gravity in 2008. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to Fabrice Larere for asking under what conditions there exist common systems of coset representatives and for providing the first example. Thanks to Peter Cameron for pointing out exactly where in the proof the finiteness of the subgroup is essential and for providing the second example. We shall prove that given any group G and a finite subgroup H , there always exists a common system of coset representatives for the left and right cosets of H in G together with The Axiom of Choice.

As we will see they can be very small - just two people - or very large. They can be highly rewarding to their members and to society as a whole, but the re are also significant problems and dangers with them. All this make s them an essential focus for research, exploration and action. In this piece I want to examine some of the key definitions of groups that have appeared, review central ways of categorizing groups, explore important dimensions of groups , and look briefly at the group in time collectivities like families, friendship circles, and tribes and clans has been long recognized, but it is really only in the last century or so that groups were studied scientifically and theory developed (Mills 1967: 3).

Collapsed Adjacency Matrices, Character Tables And Ramanujan Graphs
A database of character tables of endomorphism rings.
http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Ines.Hoehler/

Extractions: Collapsed Adjacency Matrices, Character Tables and Ramanujan Graphs This is a database of character tables of endomorphism rings. Let G be a finite group, K a field and M a finite set on which G acts transitively. For a in M let M ,...,M r be the distinct orbits of G a , which have respective representatives a =a, a ,..., a r . Let E i i [k,l] be the collapsed adjacency matrix for the orbital digraph (M,E i ). Therefore A i is defined as the number of neighbours of a k in M l (see PrSoi for details). (see CePoTeTrVe for details). For rank up to 5 the collapsed adjacency matrices have been computed by Cheryl E. Praeger and Leonard H. Soicher (PrSoi) . Several matrices (also for larger rank cases) can be found in IvLiLuSaSoi , where numerous further references are given.) The following matrices originally have been published in:

Extractions: Group theory is the branch of mathematics that studies symmetry, found in crystals, art, architecture, music, and many other contexts. Its beauty is often lost on students because it is typically taught in a technical style that is difficult to understand. Visual Group Theory assumes only a high school mathematics background and covers a typical undergraduate course in group theory from a thoroughly visual perspective. Its more than 300 illustrations cover groups, subgroups, homomorphisms, products, quotients, Sylow theory, and a preview of Galois theory. Group Explorer , optional accompanying software, is available free online. Visual Group Theory is published in the MAA 's Classroom Resource Materials series. Sample materials from the book are available from the links above. Supplementary material is gradually appearing on this website, most notably the Visual Group Theory Podcast The book is out!
Group Theory And Physics
Group Theory and Physics. Symmetry is important in the world of atoms, and Group Theory is its mathematics
http://mysite.du.edu/~jcalvert/phys/groups.htm

Extractions: Symmetry is important in the world of atoms, and Group Theory is its mathematics Quantum mechanics showed that the elementary systems that matter is made of, such as electrons and protons, are truly identical, not just very similar, so that symmetry in their arrangement is exact, not approximate as in the macroscopic world. Systems were also seen to be described by functions of position that are subject to the usual symmetry operations of rotation and reflection, as well as to others not so easily described in concrete terms, such as the exchange of identical particles. Elementary particles were observed to reflect symmetry properties in more esoteric spaces. In all these cases, symmetry can be expressed by certain operations on the systems concerned, which have properties revealed by Group Theory, a rather obscure branch of mathematics that had previously been mainly a curiosity without practical application. Physics uses that part of Group Theory known as the theory of representations, in which matrices acting on the members of a vector space is the central theme. It allows certain members of the space to be created that are symmetrical, and which can be classified by their symmetry. It is found that all the observed spectroscopic states of atoms and molecules correspond to such symmetrical functions, and can be classified accordingly. Among other things, it gives selection rules that specify which transitions are observed, and which are not. These matters are so commonplace in spectroscopy that the fact that they are extraordinary and wonderful is hardly realized.

Extractions: Home Biography Books/Publications Contact ... Arts Criticism Mark Ronan's website Group Theory Symmetry Corner The story in 100 words The Whole Story The mathematicians ... 163 and the Monster The notion of a group is a vital concept in modern mathematics, and group theory can be thought of as the mathematics of symmetry. The term 'group' indicates a group of operations, in which the reverse of each operation is included, and one operation followed by another gives a third operation in the same group. The set of symmetries of an object or pattern always forms a group in this sense, and the group embodies, in an abstract way, the symmetry of the object or pattern concerned. The application of groups to serious mathematical problems first arose in the work of �variste Galois Here is an example in which each operation permutes four people at a bridge table, preserving the two bridge partnerships. Assuming the bridge partnerships are preserved there are eight ways of arranging the seating, shown in the following diagram. From the arrangement in the top left-hand corner, the other arrangements are obtained by rotating (top row), or by interchanging positions across the dotted lines (bottom row). Notice that the reverse of each operation is included, and that one operation followed by another gives a third operation in the same group. For example a clockwise rotation by 90 degrees takes you from the first position to the second position, and if you follow this by a left/right flip then you reach the last position in the bottom right. The same effect is achieved by a diagonal flip. On the other hand, doing the left/right flip first and the 90 degrees clockwise rotation second, yields the other diagonal flip. The order in which two operations are performed can make a difference to the result.
