The center of a group is the set of elements which commute with every element of the group. It is equal to the intersection of the centralizers of the group elements.

The unitary group U_n(q) is the set of n×n unitary matrices.

The homeomorphism group of a topological space X is the set of all homeomorphisms f:X->X, which forms a group by composition.

Transitivity is a result of the symmetry in the group. A group G is called transitive if its group action (understood to be a subgroup of a permutation group on a set Omega) ...

A group G such that the quotient group G/Z(G), where Z(G) is the group center of G, is Abelian. An equivalent condition is that the commutator subgroup G^' is contained in ...

An elliptic curve is the set of solutions to an equation of the form y^2+a_1xy+a_3y=x^3+a_2x^2+a_4x+a_6. (1) By changing variables, y->2y+a_1x+a_3, assuming the field ...

A permutation group in which the permutations are limited to transpositions.

A primitive group action is transitive and it has no nontrivial group blocks. A transitive group action that is not primitive is called imprimitive. A group that has a ...

A group which is related to the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture.

One of the symmetry groups of the Platonic solids. There are three polyhedral groups: the tetrahedral group of order 12, the octahedral group of order 24, and the icosahedral ...
