Group Theory

algebragroup theoryUpdated

A few connected starting points for studying groups.

  1. Group Actions — groups as transformations.
  2. Normal Subgroups — the subgroups that allow quotients.
  3. Quotient Groups — identifying elements without losing multiplication.
  4. First Isomorphism Theorem — a homomorphism through its kernel.
  5. Orbit–Stabilizer Theorem — counting through symmetry.

A small subgroup lattice

The Klein four-group has three subgroups of order two. All its subgroups are normal because the group is abelian.
