A partially ordered set is defined as an ordered pair P=(X,<=). Here, X is called the ground set of P and <= is the partial order of P.

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 set of points of X fixed by a group action are called the group's set of fixed points, defined by {x:gx=x for all g in G}. In some cases, there may not be a group action, ...

The kernel of a group homomorphism f:G-->G^' is the set of all elements of G which are mapped to the identity element of G^'. The kernel is a normal subgroup of G, and always ...

Let Gamma be a representation for a group of group order h, then sum_(R)Gamma_i(R)_(mn)Gamma_j(R)_(m^'n^')^*=h/(sqrt(l_il_j))delta_(ij)delta_(mm^')delta_(nn^'). The proof is ...

A group representation of a group G on a vector space V can be restricted to a subgroup H. For example, the symmetric group on three letters has a representation phi on R^2 ...

If two groups are residual to a third, every group residual to one is residual to the other. The Gambier extension of this theorem states that if two groups are ...

A group set is a set whose elements are acted on by a group. If the group G acts on the set S, then S is called a G-set. Let G be a group and let S be a G-set. Then for every ...

A general term which refers to an increase (or decrease in the case of the oxymoron "negative growth") in a given quantity.

If G is a perfect group, then the group center of the quotient group G/Z(G), where Z(G) is the group center of G, is the trivial group.
