Engel group

In mathematics, an element x of a Lie group or a Lie algebra is called an n-Engel element, named after Friedrich Engel, if it satisfies the n-Engel condition that the repeated commutator [...[[x,y],y], ..., y] with n copies of y is trivial (where [x, y] means x−1y−1xy or the Lie bracket). It is called an Engel element if it satisfies the Engel condition that it is n-Engel for some n. A Lie group or Lie algebra is said to satisfy the Engel or n-Engel conditions if every element does. Such groups or algebras are called Engel groups, n-Engel groups, Engel algebras, and n-Engel algebras. Every nilpotent group or Lie algebra is Engel. Engel's theorem states that every finite-dimensional Engel algebra is nilpotent. gave examples of non-nilpotent Engel groups and algebras. (Wikipedia).

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

Group Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to contin

Elyahu Rips - Free Engel Groups and Similar Groups

Elyahu Rips (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel) Abstract: This is a joint work with Arye Juhasz. The free n-Engel group is defined by the identical relation [x, y,...,y] = 1, y being repeated n times. An example of a "similar" group is the relatively free group with the identical rel

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)

Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

Lie groups: Engel's theorem

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We state Engel's theorem about nilpotent Lie algebras and sketch a proof of it. We give an example of a nilpotent Lie group that is not a matrix group. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com/play

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

One important reason Marx thought the revolution was inevitable was that in a capitalist society the labor force was alienated. But what is alienation? Jonathan Wolff briefly explains what Marx meant by alienated labor, as well as Marx's controversial vision of what non-alienated labor mig
