A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, May Majid

Theses Digitization Project

This study investigated finite homomorphic images of several progenitors, including 2*⁵ : S₅, 2*⁶ : A₆, and 3*⁵ : C₅ The technique of manual of double coset enumeration is used to construct several groups by hand and computer-based proofs are given for the isomorphism types of the groups that are not constructed.

Enumeration And Symmetric Presentations Of Groups, With Music Theory Applications, Jesse Graham Train

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project is to construct groups as finite homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products. In particular, we will construct certain classical groups and subgroups of sporadic groups, as well groups with applications to the field of music theory.


Monomial And Permutation Representation Of Groups, Rebeca Maria Blanquet Jan 2012

Monomial And Permutation Representation Of Groups, Rebeca Maria Blanquet

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project is to introduce another method of working with groups, that is more efficient when the groups we wish to work with are of a significantly large finite order. When we wish to work with small finite groups, we use permutations and matrices. Although these two methods are the general methods of working with groups, they are not always efficient.

Symmetric Presentation Of Finite Groups, Thuy Nguyen

Theses Digitization Project

The main goal of this project is to construct finite homomorphic images of monomial infinite semi-direct products which are called progenitors. In this thesis, we provide an alternative convenient and efficient method. This method can be applied to many groups, including all finite non-abelian simple groups.

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project was to study the classical result in this direction discovered by O. Ore in 1938, as well as related theorems and corollaries. Ore's Theorem and its corollaries provide us with several results relating distributive lattices with cyclic groups.

Symmetric Representation Of Elements Of Finite Groups, Timothy Edward George Jan 2006

Symmetric Representation Of Elements Of Finite Groups, Timothy Edward George

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of the thesis is to give an alternative and more efficient method for working with finite groups by constructing finite groups as homomorphic images of progenitors. The method introduced can be applied to all finite groups that possess symmetric generating sets of involutions. Such groups include all finite non-abelian simple groups, which can then be constructed by the technique of manual double coset enumeration.

Symmetric Generation Of Finite Groups, MaríA De La Luz Torres Bisquertt

Theses Digitization Project

Advantages of the double coset enumeration technique include its use to represent group elements in a convenient shorter form than their usual permutation representations and to find nice permutation representations for groups. In this thesis we construct, by hand, several groups, including U₃(3) : 2, L₂(13), PGL₂(11), and PGL₂(7), represent their elements in the short form (symmetric representation) and produce their permutation representations.


Symmetric Representations Of Elements Of Finite Groups, Abeir Mikhail Kasouha Jan 2004

Symmetric Representations Of Elements Of Finite Groups, Abeir Mikhail Kasouha

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis demonstrates an alternative, concise but informative, method for representing group elements, which will prove particularly useful for the sporadic groups. It explains the theory behind symmetric presentations, and describes the algorithm for working with elements represented in this manner.


Various Steiner Systems, Valentin Jean Racataian Jan 2004

Various Steiner Systems, Valentin Jean Racataian

Theses Digitization Project

This project deals with the automorphism group G of a Steiner system S (3, 4, 10). S₁₀, the symmetrical group of degree 10, acts transitively on T, the set of all Steiner systems with parameters 3, 4, 10. The purpose of this project is to study the action of S₁₀ on cosets of G. This will be achieved by means of a graph of S₁₀ on T x T. The orbits of S₁₀ on T x T are in one-one correspondence with the orbits of G, the stabilizer of an S [e] T on T.
