Quasidihedral Group
In mathematics, the quasi-dihedral groups, also called semi-dihedral groups, are certain non-abelian groups of order a power of 2. For every positive integer ''n'' greater than or equal to 4, there are exactly four isomorphism classes of non-abelian groups of order 2''n'' which have a cyclic subgroup of index 2. Two are well known, the generalized quaternion group and the dihedral group. One of the remaining two groups is often considered particularly important, since it is an example of a 2-group of maximal nilpotency class. In Bertram Huppert's text ''Endliche Gruppen'', this group is called a "Quasidiedergruppe". In Daniel Gorenstein's text, ''Finite Groups'', this group is called the "semidihedral group". Dummit and Foote refer to it as the "quasidihedral group"; we adopt that name in this article. All give the same presentation for this group: :\langle r,s \mid r^ = s^2 = 1,\ srs = r^\rangle\,\!. The other non-abelian 2-group with cyclic subgroup of index 2 is not gi ...

Bertram Huppert
Bertram Huppert (22 October 1927 – 1 October 2023) was a German mathematician specialised in group theory and the representation theory of finite groups. His ''Endliche Gruppen'' (finite groups) is an influential textbook in group theory, and he has over 50 doctoral descendants. Life Early life and education Bertram Huppert was born in Worms, Germany on 22 October 1927. He went to school in Bonn from 1934 until 1945. In 1950, he wrote his diploma thesis in mathematics at the University of Mainz. The thesis discussed "''nicht fortsetzbare Potenzreihen''" (discontinuous power series), and was written under the direction of Helmut Wielandt. When Wielandt moved to the University of Tübingen in April 1951, Huppert followed him later in the year, and gained his doctorate (as Wielandt's first doctoral student) with the work "''Produkte von paarweise vertauschbaren zyklischen Gruppen''" (products of pairwise permutable cyclic groups), in which he showed, among other things, that s ...

Finite Group
In abstract algebra, a finite group is a group whose underlying set is finite. Finite groups often arise when considering symmetry of mathematical or physical objects, when those objects admit just a finite number of structure-preserving transformations. Important examples of finite groups include cyclic groups and permutation groups. The study of finite groups has been an integral part of group theory since it arose in the 19th century. One major area of study has been classification: the classification of finite simple groups (those with no nontrivial normal subgroup) was completed in 2004. History During the twentieth century, mathematicians investigated some aspects of the theory of finite groups in great depth, especially the local theory of finite groups and the theory of solvable and nilpotent groups. As a consequence, the complete classification of finite simple groups was achieved, meaning that all those simple groups from which all finite groups can be bu ...

Derived Subgroup
In mathematics, more specifically in abstract algebra, the commutator subgroup or derived subgroup of a group is the subgroup generated by all the commutators of the group. The commutator subgroup is important because it is the smallest normal subgroup such that the quotient group of the original group by this subgroup is abelian. In other words, G/N is abelian if and only if N contains the commutator subgroup of G. So in some sense it provides a measure of how far the group is from being abelian; the larger the commutator subgroup is, the "less abelian" the group is. Commutators For elements g and h of a group ''G'', the commutator of g and h is ,h= g^h^gh. The commutator ,h/math> is equal to the identity element ''e'' if and only if gh = hg , that is, if and only if g and h commute. In general, gh = hg ,h/math>. However, the notation is somewhat arbitrary and there is a non-equivalent variant definition for the commutator that has the inverses on the right hand side of ...

P-group
In mathematics, specifically group theory, given a prime number ''p'', a ''p''-group is a group in which the order of every element is a power of ''p''. That is, for each element ''g'' of a ''p''-group ''G'', there exists a nonnegative integer ''n'' such that the product of ''pn'' copies of ''g'', and not fewer, is equal to the identity element. The orders of different elements may be different powers of ''p''. Abelian ''p''-groups are also called ''p''-primary or simply primary. A finite group is a ''p''-group if and only if its order (the number of its elements) is a power of ''p''. Given a finite group ''G'', the Sylow theorems guarantee the existence of a subgroup of ''G'' of order ''pn'' for every prime power ''pn'' that divides the order of ''G''. Every finite ''p''-group is nilpotent. The remainder of this article deals with finite ''p''-groups. For an example of an infinite abelian ''p''-group, see Prüfer group, and for an example of an infinite simple ''p' ...

Ring (mathematics)
In mathematics, a ring is an algebraic structure consisting of a set with two binary operations called ''addition'' and ''multiplication'', which obey the same basic laws as addition and multiplication of integers, except that multiplication in a ring does not need to be commutative. Ring elements may be numbers such as integers or complex numbers, but they may also be non-numerical objects such as polynomials, square matrices, functions, and power series. A ''ring'' may be defined as a set that is endowed with two binary operations called ''addition'' and ''multiplication'' such that the ring is an abelian group with respect to the addition operator, and the multiplication operator is associative, is distributive over the addition operation, and has a multiplicative identity element. (Some authors apply the term ''ring'' to a further generalization, often called a '' rng'', that omits the requirement for a multiplicative identity, and instead call the structure defi ...

Group Of Units
In algebra, a unit or invertible element of a ring is an invertible element for the multiplication of the ring. That is, an element of a ring is a unit if there exists in such that vu = uv = 1, where is the multiplicative identity; the element is unique for this property and is called the multiplicative inverse of . The set of units of forms a group under multiplication, called the group of units or unit group of . Other notations for the unit group are , , and (from the German term ). Less commonly, the term ''unit'' is sometimes used to refer to the element of the ring, in expressions like ''ring with a unit'' or ''unit ring'', and also unit matrix. Because of this ambiguity, is more commonly called the "unity" or the "identity" of the ring, and the phrases "ring with unity" or a "ring with identity" may be used to emphasize that one is considering a ring instead of a rng. Examples The multiplicative identity and its additive inverse are always units. More ...

Semidirect Product
In mathematics, specifically in group theory, the concept of a semidirect product is a generalization of a direct product. It is usually denoted with the symbol . There are two closely related concepts of semidirect product: * an ''inner'' semidirect product is a particular way in which a group can be made up of two subgroups, one of which is a normal subgroup. * an ''outer'' semidirect product is a way to construct a new group from two given groups by using the Cartesian product as a set and a particular multiplication operation. As with direct products, there is a natural equivalence between inner and outer semidirect products, and both are commonly referred to simply as ''semidirect products''. For finite groups, the Schur–Zassenhaus theorem provides a sufficient condition for the existence of a decomposition as a semidirect product (also known as splitting extension). Inner semidirect product definitions Given a group with identity element , a subgroup , and a ...

Iwasawa Group
__NOTOC__ In mathematics, a group is called an Iwasawa group, M-group or modular group if its lattice of subgroups is modular. Alternatively, a group ''G'' is called an Iwasawa group when every subgroup of ''G'' is permutable in ''G'' . proved that a ''p''-group ''G'' is an Iwasawa group if and only if one of the following cases happens: * ''G'' is a Dedekind group, or * ''G'' contains an abelian normal subgroup ''N'' such that the quotient group ''G/N'' is a cyclic group In abstract algebra, a cyclic group or monogenous group is a Group (mathematics), group, denoted C_n (also frequently \Z_n or Z_n, not to be confused with the commutative ring of P-adic number, -adic numbers), that is Generating set of a group, ge ... and if ''q'' denotes a generator of ''G/N'', then for all ''n'' ∈ ''N'', ''q''−1''nq'' = ''n''1+''p''''s'' where ''s'' ≥ 1 in general, but ''s'' ≥ 2 for ''p''=2. In , Iwasawa's proof was deemed to have essential gaps, which were filled by Franco Nap ...

Group Presentation
In mathematics, a presentation is one method of specifying a group. A presentation of a group ''G'' comprises a set ''S'' of generators—so that every element of the group can be written as a product of powers of some of these generators—and a set ''R'' of relations among those generators. We then say ''G'' has presentation :\langle S \mid R\rangle. Informally, ''G'' has the above presentation if it is the "freest group" generated by ''S'' subject only to the relations ''R''. Formally, the group ''G'' is said to have the above presentation if it is isomorphic to the quotient of a free group on ''S'' by the normal subgroup generated by the relations ''R''. As a simple example, the cyclic group of order ''n'' has the presentation :\langle a \mid a^n = 1\rangle, where 1 is the group identity. This may be written equivalently as :\langle a \mid a^n\rangle, thanks to the convention that terms that do not include an equals sign are taken to be equal to the group identity. ...
