Group-scheme action

In algebraic geometry, an action of a group scheme is a generalization of a group action to a group scheme. Precisely, given a group S-scheme G, a left action of G on an S-scheme X is an S-morphism such that * (associativity) , where is the group law, * (unitality) , where is the identity section of G. A right action of G on X is defined analogously. A scheme equipped with a left or right action of a group scheme G is called a G-scheme. An equivariant morphism between G-schemes is a morphism of schemes that intertwines the respective G-actions. More generally, one can also consider (at least some special case of) an action of a group functor: viewing G as a functor, an action is given as a natural transformation satisfying the conditions analogous to the above. Alternatively, some authors study group action in the language of a groupoid; a group-scheme action is then an example of a groupoid scheme. (Wikipedia).

Group actions in abstract algebra

In this first video on group actions, I use an example of some previous work on the symmetric group to give you some intuition about group actions. Beware when reading your textbook. It is probably unnecessary difficult just due to the dot notation that is used when describing group acti

GT15. Group Actions

Abstract Algebra: Group actions are defined as a formal mechanism that describes symmetries of a set X. A given group action defines an equivalence relation, which in turn yields a partition of X into orbits. Orbits are also described as cosets of the group. U.Reddit course materials a

Group action examples

In this video I demonstrate an example of a non-faithful group actions, where the identity permutation is actually mapped to by all the elements in the group set. Another example shows you how group actions involving a group set on itself gives rise to group element composition as we see

What is a Group Action? : A Group as a Category and The Skeleton Operation ☠

This week I try to take a more Categorical approach to answering and expanding upon the question of "what is a group action". Along the way I'll go over thinking about a group as a category and eventually hit on the skeleton operation on a category and use it to present an example of the c

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 action proofs in abstract algebra

This video follows from the previous one, in which we developed an intuitive understanding of group actions by way of an example. In this video I want to spend a few minutes on the proofs that connect the elements in a group set with the permutations of another set.

Francis Brown - 4/4 Mixed Modular Motives and Modular Forms for SL_2 (\Z)

In the `Esquisse d'un programme', Grothendieck proposed studying the action of the absolute Galois group upon the system of profinite fundamental groups of moduli spaces of curves of genus g with n marked points. Around 1990, Ihara, Drinfeld and Deligne independently initiated the study of

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
