Many properties of a group – such as whether or not it is abelian, which elements are inverses of which elements, and the size and contents of the group's center – can be discovered from its Cayley table. A simple example of a Cayley table is the one for the group {1, −1} under ordinary multiplication:
Thus, normalizing a Cayley table (putting the border headings in some fixed predetermined order by permuting rows and columns including the headings) preserves the isotopy class of the associated Latin square. Furthermore, if two normalized Cayley tables represent isomorphic quasigroups then their associated Latin squares are also isomorphic.
Cayley table as general (and special) linear group GL(2, 2) In mathematics, D 3 (sometimes alternatively denoted by D 6) is the dihedral group of degree 3 and order 6. It equals the symmetric group S 3. It is also the smallest non-abelian group. [1] This page illustrates many group concepts using this group as example.
Cayley table for D 4 showing elements of the center, {e, a 2}, commute with all other elements (this can be seen by noticing that all occurrences of a given center element are arranged symmetrically about the center diagonal or by noticing that the row and column starting with a given center element are transposes of each other).
Visualization comparing the sheet and the binary tree Cayley graph of (,). Red and blue edges correspond to a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} , respectively. In the mathematical field of group theory , the Baumslag–Solitar groups are examples of two-generator one-relator groups that play an important role in combinatorial group ...
A Cayley graph of the symmetric group S 4 using the generators (red) a right circular shift of all four set elements, and (blue) a left circular shift of the first three set elements. Cayley table, with header omitted, of the symmetric group S 3. The elements are represented as matrices. To the left of the matrices, are their two-line form.
The Cayley table of the group can be derived from the group presentation , = =, = . A different Cayley graph of D 4 {\displaystyle D_{4}} is shown on the right. b {\displaystyle b} is still the horizontal reflection and is represented by blue lines, and c {\displaystyle c} is a diagonal reflection and is represented by pink lines.
Example subgroups from a hexagonal dihedral symmetry. D 1 is isomorphic to Z 2, the cyclic group of order 2. D 2 is isomorphic to K 4, the Klein four-group. D 1 and D 2 are exceptional in that: D 1 and D 2 are the only abelian dihedral groups. Otherwise, D n is non-abelian. D n is a subgroup of the symmetric group S n for n ≥ 3.
