Finite groups | Properties of groups | Infinite group theory
In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as group theory, the term Z-group refers to a number of distinct types of groups: * in the study of finite groups, a Z-group is a finite group whose Sylow subgroups are all cyclic. * in the study of infinite groups, a Z-group is a group which possesses a very general form of central series. * in the study of ordered groups, a Z-group or -group is a discretely ordered abelian group whose quotient over its minimal is divisible. Such groups are elementarily equivalent to the integers . Z-groups are an alternative presentation of Presburger arithmetic. * occasionally, (Z)-group is used to mean a Zassenhaus group, a special type of permutation group. (Wikipedia).
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

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

Abstract Algebra | Group of Units modulo n
We sketch a proof that the equivalence classes of integers which are relatively prime to n form a group. This group is called the group of units modulo n. http://www.michael-penn.net

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

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 4.4: Finitely generated abelian groups We begin this lecture by proving that the cyclic group of order n*m is isomorphic to the direct product of cyclic groups of order n and m if and only if gcd(n,m)=1. Then, we classify all finite abelian groups by decomposi

Galois theory: Infinite Galois extensions
This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We show how to extend Galois theory to infinite Galois extensions. The main difference is that the Galois group has a topology, and intermediate field extensions now correspond to closed subgroups of the Galois group. We
