Introduction to Group Theory for Physicists

2.Symmetry: if a˘b, then b˘a. 3.Transitivity: if a˘cand b˘c, then a˘b. 3We shall use the term invariant in this text. 1.1. SUBGROUPS AND DEFINITIONS 11 Quotient Group A quotient group is a group obtained by identifying elements of a larger group using an equivalence relation.

Proof. (1) is re exivity, (2) is symmetry, (3) is transitivity: If c2[a] \[b], then a˘c˘bso a˘b and [a] = [b] by (2). This lemma implies that the set A=˘ˆP(A) is a partition of A, a set of nonempty, disjoint subsets of Awhose union is all of A. Conversely, given …

Congruence and Congruence Classes

So b a (mod n) and b c mod n). By the symmetry and transitivity properties of congruence we then have a c (mod n) : Hence [a] n = [c] n by Theorem 2.3. Corollary 11.14. There are exactly n distinct congruence classes modulo n; namely, [0], [1], [2], ::: ,[n-1]. Proof. We rst show that no two of 0;1;2;:::;n 1 are congruent modulo n. To see this ...

Binary Relations - Stanford University

Binary Relations Intuitively speaking: a binary relation over a set A is some relation R where, for every x, y ∈ A, the statement xRy is either true or false. Examples: < can be a binary relation over ℕ, ℤ, ℝ, etc. ↔ can be a binary relation over V for any undirected graph G = (V, E). ≡ₖ is a binary relation over ℤ for any integer k.
