In mathematics, in the field of group theory, a group is said to be absolutely simple if it has no proper nontrivial serial subgroups. That is, is an absolutely simple group if the only serial subgroups of are (the trivial subgroup), and itself (the whole group). In the finite case, a group is absolutely simple if and only if it is simple. However, in the infinite case, absolutely simple is a stronger property than simple. The property of being strictly simple is somewhere in between. (Wikipedia).
Simple Groups - Abstract Algebra
Simple groups are the building blocks of finite groups. After decades of hard work, mathematicians have finally classified all finite simple groups. Today we talk about why simple groups are so important, and then cover the four main classes of simple groups: cyclic groups of prime order

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
From playlist Essence of Group Theory
This lecture is part of an online math course on group theory. We review free abelian groups, then construct free (non-abelian) groups, and show that they are given by the set of reduced words, and as a bonus find that they are residually finite.

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

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

Every Group is a Quotient of a Free Group

Abstract: We give a new, more conceptual proof of the Decomposition Theorem for semisimple perverse sheaves of rank-one origin, assuming it for those of constant-sheaf origin, that is, assuming the geometric case proven by Beilinson-Bernstein-Deligne-Gabber. Joint work with Botong Wang. R
