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 cycle of a finite group G is a minimal set of elements {A^0,A^1,...,A^n} such that A^0=A^n=I, where I is the identity element. A diagram of a group showing every cycle in ...

A cycle graph of a group is a graph which shows cycles of a group as well as the connectivity between the cycles. Such graphs are constructed by drawing labeled nodes, one ...

Given two groups G and H, there are several ways to form a new group. The simplest is the direct product, denoted G×H. As a set, the group direct product is the Cartesian ...

The group direct sum of a sequence {G_n}_(n=0)^infty of groups G_n is the set of all sequences {g_n}_(n=0)^infty, where each g_n is an element of G_n, and g_n is equal to the ...

An extension of a group H by a group N is a group G with a normal subgroup M such that M=N and G/M=H. This information can be encoded into a short exact sequence of groups ...

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, ...

A set of generators (g_1,...,g_n) is a set of group elements such that possibly repeated application of the generators on themselves and each other is capable of producing ...

A group homomorphism is a map f:G->H between two groups such that the group operation is preserved:f(g_1g_2)=f(g_1)f(g_2) for all g_1,g_2 in G, where the product on the ...

An element of order 2 in a group (i.e., an element A of a group such that A^2=I, where I is the identity element).
