In mathematics, the order of a finite group is the number of its elements. If a group is not finite, one says that its order is infinite. The order of an element of a group (also called period length or period) is the order of the subgroup generated by the element. If the group operation is denoted as a multiplication, the order of an element a of a group, is thus the smallest positive integer m such that am = e, where e denotes the identity element of the group, and am denotes the product of m copies of a. If no such m exists, the order of a is infinite.The order of a group G is denoted by ord(G) or , and the order of an element a is denoted by ord(a) or , instead of \operatorname{ord}(\langle a\rangle), where the brackets denote the generated group.Lagrange's theorem states that for any subgroup H of a finite group G, the order of the subgroup divides the order of the group; that is, is a divisor of . In particular, the order of any elem

In group theory, a branch of abstract algebra in pure mathematics, a cyclic group or monogenous group is a group, denoted Cn, that is generated by a single element. That is, it is a set of invertible
In mathematics, a group is a non-empty set with an operation that satisfies the following constraints: the operation is associative, has an identity element, and every element of the set has an inver
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. F
This course consists of two parts. The first part covers basic concepts of molecular symmetry and the application of group theory to describe it. The second part introduces Laplace transforms and Fourier series and their use for solving ordinary and partial differential equations in chemistry & c.e.
The goal of the course is to introduce relativistic quantum field theory as the conceptual and mathematical framework describing fundamental interactions.
The aim of this course is to provide a solid foundation of theory of distributions, Sobolev spaces and an introduction to the more general theory of interpolation spaces.
We count the number of isogeny classes of Edwards curves over finite fields, answering a question recently posed by Rezaeian and Shparlinski. We also show that each isogeny class contains a {\em complete} Edwards curve, and that an Edwards curve is isogenous to an {\em original} Edwards curve over Fq if and only if its group order is divisible by 8 if q≡−1(mod4), and 16 if q≡1(mod4). Furthermore, we give formulae for the proportion of d∈Fq \ {0,1} for which the Edwards curve Ed is complete or original, relative to the total number of d in each isogeny class.
