List of transitive finite linear groups

In mathematics, especially in areas of abstract algebra and finite geometry, the list of transitive finite linear groups is an important classification of certain highly symmetric actions of finite groups on vector spaces. The solvable finite 2-transitive groups were classified by Bertram Huppert. The classification of finite simple groups made possible the complete classification of finite doubly transitive permutation groups. This is a result by . A finite 2-transitive group has a socle that is either a vector space over a finite field or a non-abelian primitive simple group; groups of the latter kind are almost simple groups and described elsewhere. This article provides a complete list of the finite 2-transitive groups whose socle is elementary abelian. Let be a prime, and a subgroup of the general linear group acting transitively on the nonzero vectors of the d-dimensional vector space over the finite field with p elements. (Wikipedia).

Symmetric groups

In this video we construct a symmetric group from the set that contains the six permutations of a 3 element group under composition of mappings as our binary operation. The specifics topics in this video include: permutations, sets, groups, injective, surjective, bijective mappings, onto

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

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

Nicolás Matte Bon: Confined subgroups and high transitivity

A subgroup of a group is confined if the closure of its conjugacy class in the Chabauty space does not contain the trivial subgroup. Such subgroups arise naturally as stabilisers for non-free actions on compact spaces. I will explain a result establishing a relation between the confined su

Groups in abstract algebra examples

In this tutorial I discuss two more examples of groups. The first contains four elements and they are the four fourth roots of 1. The second contains only three elements and they are the three cube roots of 1. Under the binary operation of multiplication, these sets are in fact groups.
