  • GROUP ACTIONS 1. Introduction the Groups Sn, An, and (For N ≥ 3)
    GROUP ACTIONS KEITH CONRAD 1. Introduction The groups Sn, An, and (for n ≥ 3) Dn behave, by their definitions, as permutations on certain sets. The groups Sn and An both permute the set f1; 2; : : : ; ng and Dn can be considered as a group of permutations of a regular n-gon, or even just of its n vertices, since rigid motions of the vertices determine where the rest of the n-gon goes. If we label the vertices of the n-gon in a definite manner by the numbers from 1 to n then we can view Dn as a subgroup of Sn. For instance, the labeling of the square below lets us regard the 90 degree counterclockwise rotation r in D4 as (1234) and the reflection s across the horizontal line bisecting the square as (24). The rest of the elements of D4, as permutations of the vertices, are in the table below the square. 2 3 1 4 1 r r2 r3 s rs r2s r3s (1) (1234) (13)(24) (1432) (24) (12)(34) (13) (14)(23) If we label the vertices in a different way (e.g., swap the labels 1 and 2), we turn the elements of D4 into a different subgroup of S4. More abstractly, if we are given a set X (not necessarily the set of vertices of a square), then the set Sym(X) of all permutations of X is a group under composition, and the subgroup Alt(X) of even permutations of X is a group under composition. If we list the elements of X in a definite order, say as X = fx1; : : : ; xng, then we can think about Sym(X) as Sn and Alt(X) as An, but a listing in a different order leads to different identifications 1 of Sym(X) with Sn and Alt(X) with An.

THE SYLOW THEOREMS AND CLASSIFICATION OF SMALL FINITE ORDER GROUPS WILLIAM W. STEARNS Abstract. This thesis will provide an overview of various topics in group theory, all in order to accomplish the end goal of classifying all groups of order up to 15. An important precursor to classifying finite order groups, the Sylow Theorems illustrate what subgroups of a given group must exist, and constitute the first half of this thesis. Using these theorems in the latter sections we will classify all the possible groups of various orders up to isomorphism. In concluding this thesis, all possible distinct groups of orders up to 15 will be defined and the groundwork set for further study. 1. Introduction The results in this thesis require some background knowledge and motivation. To that end, material covered in an introductory course on abstract algebra should be sufficient. In particular, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the concepts and definitions of: group, subgroup, coset, index, homomorphism, and kernel.

  • 1 Lagrange's Theorem
    1 Lagrange's theorem Definition 1.1. The index of a subgroup H in a group G, denoted [G : H], is the number of left cosets of H in G ( [G : H] is a natural number or infinite). Theorem 1.2 (Lagrange's Theorem). If G is a finite group and H is a subgroup of G then jHj divides jGj and jGj [G : H] = : jHj Proof. Recall that (see lecture 16) any pair of left cosets of H are either equal or disjoint. Thus, since G is finite, there exist g1; :::; gn 2 G such that n • G = [i=1giH and • for all 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n, giH \ gjH = ;. Since n = [G : H], it is enough to now show that each coset of H has size jHj. Suppose g 2 G. The map 'g : H ! gH : h 7! gh is surjective by definition. The map 'g is injective; for whenever gh1 = 'g(h1) = 'g(h2) = gh2 −1 , multiplying on the left by g , we have that h1 = h2. Thus each coset of H in G has size jHj. Thus n n X X jGj = jgiHj = jHj = [G : H]jHj i=1 i=1 Note that in the above proof we could have just as easily worked with right cosets. Thus if G is a finite group and H is a subgroup of G then the number of left cosets is equal to the number of right cosets. More generally, the map gH 7! Hg−1 is a bijection between the set of left cosets of H in G and the set of right cosets of H in G.

  • Alphabets, Letters and Diacritics in European Languages (As They Appear in Geography)
    1 Vigleik Leira (Norway): [email protected] Alphabets, Letters and Diacritics in European Languages (as they appear in Geography) To the best of my knowledge English seems to be the only language which makes use of a "clean" Latin alphabet, i.d. there is no use of diacritics or special letters of any kind. All the other languages based on Latin letters employ, to a larger or lesser degree, some diacritics and/or some special letters. The survey below is purely literal. It has nothing to say on the pronunciation of the different letters. Information on the phonetic/phonemic values of the graphic entities must be sought elsewhere, in language specific descriptions. The 26 letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z may be considered the standard European alphabet. In this article the word diacritic is used with this meaning: any sign placed above, through or below a standard letter (among the 26 given above); disregarding the cases where the resulting letter (e.g. å in Norwegian) is considered an ordinary letter in the alphabet of the language where it is used. Albanian The alphabet (36 letters): a, b, c, ç, d, dh, e, ë, f, g, gj, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, nj, o, p, q, r, rr, s, sh, t, th, u, v, x, xh, y, z, zh. Missing standard letter: w. Letters with diacritics: ç, ë. Sequences treated as one letter: dh, gj, ll, rr, sh, th, xh, zh.

  • An Algebraic Approach to the Weyl Groupoid
    An Algebraic Approach to the Weyl Groupoid Tristan Bice✩ Institute of Mathematics Czech Academy of Sciences Zitn´a25,ˇ 115 67 Prague, Czech Republic Abstract We unify the Kumjian-Renault Weyl groupoid construction with the Lawson- Lenz version of Exel’s tight groupoid construction. We do this by utilising only a weak algebraic fragment of the C*-algebra structure, namely its *-semigroup reduct. Fundamental properties like local compactness are also shown to remain valid in general classes of *-rings. Keywords: Weyl groupoid, tight groupoid, C*-algebra, inverse semigroup, *-semigroup, *-ring 2010 MSC: 06F05, 20M25, 20M30, 22A22, 46L05, 46L85, 47D03 1. Introduction 1.1. Background Renault’s groundbreaking thesis [Ren80] revealed the striking interplay be- tween ´etale groupoids and the C*-algebras they give rise to. Roughly speaking, the ´etale groupoid provides a more topological picture of the corresponding C*-algebra, with various key properties of the algebra, like nuclearity and sim- plicity (see [ADR00] and [CEP+19]), being determined in a straightforward way from the underlying ´etale groupoid. Naturally, this has led to the quest to find appropriate ´etale groupoid models for various C*-algebras. Two general methods have emerged for finding such models, namely arXiv:1911.08812v3 [math.OA] 20 Sep 2020 1. Exel’s tight groupoid construction from an inverse semigroup, and 2. Kumjian-Renault’s Weyl groupoid construction from a Cartan C*-subalgebra (see [Exe08], [Kum86] and [Ren08]). However, both of these have their limi- tations. For example, tight groupoids are always ample, which means the cor- responding C*-algebras always have lots of projections. On the other hand, the Weyl groupoid is always effective, which discounts many naturally arising groupoids.

This paper is devoted to classifying the foliations of G with leaves of the form .qKh - t where G is a compact, connected and simply connected L,c group and K is a connected closed subgroup of G such that G/K is a rank-I Riemannian symmetric space. In the case when G/K =S", the homotopy type of space of such foliations is also given. Keywords. Foliations; rank-I Riemannian symmetric space; cutlocus. I. Introduction The study of fibrations of spheres by great spheres is a very interesting problem in geometry and it is very important in the theory of Blaschke manifolds. In [l], Gluck and Warner have studied the great circle fibrations of the three spheres. In that paper they have proved very interesting results. When we look at the problem group theoretically, we see that all the results of [1] go through, for foliations of G with leaves of the form gKh- 1 where G is a compact, connected and simply connected Lie group and K is a connected closed subgroup of G such that G/K is a rank- l Riemannian symmetric space (see [-2]), except perhaps the theorem 3 for the pair (G, K) such that G/K=CP n, HP ~ etc.

Thomas² provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Uni¨ersity of Leicester, Leicester, LE1 7RH, England Communicated by T. E. Hall Received August 28, 1996 We define two different notions of index for subsemigroups of semigroups: the Ž.right syntactic index and the Rees index. We investigate the relationships be- tween them and with the group index. In particular, we show that the syntactic index is a generalisation of both the group index and the Rees index. We use this fact to prove further similarities between the group index and the Rees index. It turns out, however, that very few of the nice properties of the group index are inherited by the syntactic index. Q 1998 Academic Press 1. INTRODUCTION The notion of the index of a subgroup in a group is one of the most basic concepts of group theory. It provides one with a sort of ``measure'' of how much smaller the subgroup is when compared to the group. This is particularly reflected in the fact that subgroups of finite index share many properties with the group. A notion of the indexŽ. which in this paper will be called the Rees index for subsemigroups of semigroups was introduced by Jurawx 11 , and is considered in more detail inwxwx 2, 4, 6, 5, 24 .

General Information The Latin script1 or Roman script is a major writing system of the world today, and the most widely used in terms of number of languages and number of speakers, with circa 70% of the world’s readers and writers making use of this script2 (Wikipedia). Historically, it is derived from the Greek alphabet, as is the Cyrillic script. The Greek alphabet is in turn derived from the Phoenician alphabet which dates to the mid-11th century BC and is itself based on older scripts. This explains why Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share some letters, which may become relevant to the ruleset in the form of cross-script variants. The Latin alphabet itself originated in Italy in the 7th Century BC. The original alphabet contained 21 upper case only letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, Z, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V and X.
