The center of the symmetric group, S n, is trivial for n ≥ 3. The center of the alternating group, A n, is trivial for n ≥ 4. The center of the general linear group over a field F, GL n (F), is the collection of scalar matrices, { sI n ∣ s ∈ F \ {0} }. The center of the orthogonal group, O n (F) is {I n, −I n}.
The center of mass of a body with an axis of symmetry and constant density must lie on this axis. Thus, the center of mass of a circular cylinder of constant density has its center of mass on the axis of the cylinder. In the same way, the center of mass of a spherically symmetric body of constant density is at the center of the sphere.
