Special abelian subgroup

In mathematical group theory, a subgroup of a group is termed a special abelian subgroup or SA-subgroup if the centralizer of any nonidentity element in the subgroup is precisely the subgroup. Equivalently, an SA subgroup is a centrally closed abelian subgroup. * Any SA subgroup is a maximal abelian subgroup, that is, it is not properly contained in another abelian subgroup. * For a CA group, the SA subgroups are precisely the maximal abelian subgroups. SA subgroups are known for certain characters associated with them termed exceptional characters. (Wikipedia).

Groups and subgroups

Jacob explains the fundamental concepts in group theory of what groups and subgroups are, and highlights a few examples of groups you may already know. Abelian groups are named in honor of Niels Henrik Abel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Henrik_Abel), who pioneered the subject of

Normal subgroups

Before we carry on with our coset journey, we need to discover when the left- and right cosets are equal to each other. The obvious situation is when our group is Abelian. The other situation is when the subgroup is a normal subgroup. In this video I show you what a normal subgroup is a

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.

Karen Vogtmann - On the cohomological dimension of automorphism groups of RAAGs

The class of right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs) includes free groups and free abelian groups, Both of these have extremely interesting automorphism groups, which share some properties and not others. We are interested in automorphism groups of general RAAGs, and in particular
