The study of a finite group G using the local subgroups of G. Local group theory plays a critical role in the classification theorem of finite groups.

A group of linear fractional transformations which transform the arguments of Kummer solutions to the hypergeometric differential equation into each other. Define A(z) = 1-z ...

The baby monster group, also known as Fischer's baby monster group, is the second-largest sporadic group. It is denoted B and has group order |B| = ...

A finitely generated discontinuous group of linear fractional transformations z->(az+b)/(cz+d) acting on a domain in the complex plane. The Apollonian gasket corresponds to a ...

The fundamental group of an arcwise-connected set X is the group formed by the sets of equivalence classes of the set of all loops, i.e., paths with initial and final points ...

The convolution of two complex-valued functions on a group G is defined as (a*b)(g)=sum_(k in G)a(k)b(k^(-1)g) where the support (set which is not zero) of each function is ...

A discrete group is a topological group with the discrete topology. Often in practice, discrete groups arise as discrete subgroups of continuous Lie groups acting on a ...

Given a knot diagram, it is possible to construct a collection of variables and equations, and given such a collection, a group naturally arises that is known as the group of ...

An additive group is a group where the operation is called addition and is denoted +. In an additive group, the identity element is called zero, and the inverse of the ...

The general unitary group GU_n(q) is the subgroup of all elements of the general linear group GL(q^2) that fix a given nonsingular Hermitian form. This is equivalent, in the ...
