Boundedly generated group

In mathematics, a group is called boundedly generated if it can be expressed as a finite product of cyclic subgroups. The property of bounded generation is also closely related with the congruence subgroup problem (see ). (Wikipedia).

GT2. Definition of Subgroup

Abstract Algebra: We define the notion of a subgroup and provide various examples. We also consider cyclic subgroups and subgroups generated by subsets in a given group G. Example include A4 and D8. U.Reddit course materials available at http://ureddit.com/class/23794/intro-to-group-

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

Every Group is a Quotient of a Free Group

First isomorphism theorem: https://youtu.be/ssVIJO5uNeg An explanation of a proof that every finite group is a quotient of a free group. A similar proof also applies to infinite groups because we can consider a free group on an infinite number of elements! Group Theory playlist: https://

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

Group theory 31: Free groups

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.

Quotient groups

The idea of a quotient group follows easily from cosets and Lagrange's theorem. In this video, we start with a normal subgroup and develop the idea of a quotient group, by viewing each coset (together with the normal subgroup) as individual mathematical objects in a set. This set, under

Zlil Sela - Automorphisms of groups and a higher rank JSJ decomposition

The JSJ (for groups) was originally constructed to study the automorphisms and the cyclic splittings of a (torsion-free) hyperbolic group. Such a structure theory was needed to complete the solution of the isomorphism problem for (torsion-free) hyperbolic groups. Later, the JSJ was genera

Zlil Sela (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel) We study and classify all the definable equivalence relations in a free (and a torsion-free hyperbolic) group. To do that we associate a Diophantine set with every definable set, that contains the definable set, and its generic points are
