Coset — In mathematics, if G is a group, and H is a subgroup of G, and g is an element of G, then gH = {gh : h an element of H } is a left coset of H in G, and Hg = {hg : h an element of H } is a right coset of H in G. Only when H is normal… … Wikipedia
Quotient group — In mathematics, given a group G and a normal subgroup N of G , the quotient group, or factor group, of G over N is intuitively a group that collapses the normal subgroup N to the identity element. The quotient group is written G / N and is… … Wikipedia

Double coset — In mathematics, an (H,K) double coset in G, where G is a group and H and K are subgroups of G, is an equivalence class for the equivalence relation defined on G by x y if there are h in H and k in K with hxk = y. Then each double coset is of form … Wikipedia
Todd–Coxeter algorithm — In group theory, the Todd–Coxeter algorithm, discovered by J.A. Todd and H.S.M. Coxeter in 1936, is an algorithm for solving the coset enumeration problem. Given a presentation of a group G by generators and relations and a subgroup H of G , the… … Wikipedia

Elementary group theory — In mathematics, a group is defined as a set G and a binary operation on G , called product and denoted by infix * . Product obeys the following rules (also called axioms). Let a , b , and c be arbitrary elements of G . Then: *A1, Closure. a * b… … Wikipedia
Dihedral group of order 6 — The smallest non abelian group has 6 elements. It is a dihedral group with notation D3 (or D6, both are used) and the symmetric group of degree 3, with notation S3. This page illustrates many group concepts using this group as example. Contents 1 … Wikipedia
Lagrange's theorem (group theory) — Lagrange s theorem, in the mathematics of group theory, states that for any finite group G , the order (number of elements) of every subgroup H of G divides the order of G . Lagrange s theorem is named after Joseph Lagrange. Proof of Lagrange s… … Wikipedia
System of imprimitivity — The concept of system of imprimitivity is used in mathematics, particularly in algebra and analysis, both within the context of the theory of group representations. It was used by George Mackey as the basis for his theory of induced unitary… … Wikipedia
