AlgTopReview4: Free abelian groups and non-commutative groups

Free abelian groups play an important role in algebraic topology. These are groups modelled on the additive group of integers Z, and their theory is analogous to the theory of vector spaces. We state the Fundamental Theorem of Finitely Generated Commutative Groups, which says that any such

Tobias Moede - Coclass theory for nilpotent associative algebras

The coclass of a finite p-group of order p^n and class c is defined as n-c. Using coclass as the primary invariant in the investigation of finite p-groups turned out to be a very fruitful approach. Together with Bettina Eick, we have developed a coclass theory for nilpotent associative alg

Cosets in abstract algebra

In this first video on cosets, I show you the equivalence relation on a group, G, that will turn out to create equivalence classes, which are actually cosets. We will prove later that these equivalence classes created by an element in the group, G, are equal to the set of element made up
