Term
V, the klein-4 group
Definition
a finite abelian group that is not cyclic
Term
does not exist since the subgroups of a cyclic group must be cyclic
Definition
a finite cyclic group with a noncyclic subgroup
Term
matrix multiplication on 2X2 real matrices
Definition
a binary operation on a finite set that is not commutative
Term
ℤ10
Definition
a group ℤn where 3 and 7 are inverses of each other
Term
ℤ7
Definition
a group ℤn where 4 and 5 are both generators of the group but not inverses of each other
Term
S4
Definition
a non-abelian group of order 24
Term
Q with +
Definition
an infinite non-cyclic, abelian group
Term
GL(2,R) = group of 2X2 invertible matrices with matrix multiplication
Definition
an infinite non-abelian group
Term
S3
Definition
a finite non-abelian group where all proper subgroups are cyclic
Term
V, the klein-4 group
Definition
a finite abelian group where all of its proper subgroups are cyclic but the group itself is not cyclic
Term
ℤ20 where <4> = {0,4,8,12,16} so |<4>| = 5
Definition
a finite cyclic group G that has a subgroup H = <4> and |H| = 5
Term
ℤ X ℤ = < (1,0), (0,1) >
Definition
infinite non-cyclic group that is finitely generated
Term
Q the Quaternions
Definition
a finite non-abelian group where all subgroups are normal
Term
The subgroup in S3
Definition
a cyclic subgroup of a group that is not normal
Term
ϕ: GL(2, R) -> R*
where ϕ(A) = det(A)
Definition
a homomorphism from a non-abelian group to an abelian group
Term
the subset { p0, u1, u2, u3 } in S3 is not a subgroup
Definition
a subset of a group that contains the identity and all elements of order 2 where the subset is not a subgroup
Term
ℤ15 ~ ℤ3 X ℤ5
Definition
a finite cyclic group that is decomposable
Term
ℤ8
Definition
a finite cyclic group that is not decomposable
Term
G = ℤ and H = 5ℤ
with addition as operations
Definition
a subgroup H of a group G where both H and G are infinite but [G:H] = 5. Specify both G and H.
Term
G = S3 and H = < p1 >
since [G:H] = 2 so H <- G and G/H ~ ℤ2
Definition
a factor group G/H that is isomorphic to ℤ2 where G and H are both finite and G is non-abelian
Term
2ℤ
Definition
a ring without unity
Term
ℤ6
Definition

Term
M2(R)
i.e. 2X2 real matrices with matrix addition and multiplication
Definition
an infinite ring with zero divisors
Term
(1 2)(3 4)
Definition
an even (non-trivial) element from S4 written as a product of disjoint cycles
Term
(1 2)
Definition
an odd (non-trivial) element from S4 written as a product of disjoint cycles
Term
not possible
i.e. ℤ15 ~ ℤ3 X ℤ5 but this is cyclic
Definition
an abelian group of order 15 that is not cyclic
Term
ℤ unity = 1
Definition
Ring with unity
Term
5ℤ
Definition
Ring with out unity
Term
M2(ℤ)
Definition
