Finitely Generated Abelian Groups

MATH 436 Notes: Finitely generated Abelian groups

Definition 1.1 (Direct Products). Let {Gα}α∈I be a collection of groups indexed by an index set I. We may form the Cartesian product ∏ α∈I Gα. The elements of this Cartesian product can be denoted by tuples (aα)α∈I . We refer to the entry aα as the αth component of this tuple. We define a multiplication on this Cartesian product componentwise, i.e., (aα) ⋆ (bα) = (aα ⋆α bα) where ⋆α is the grou...

A characterization of finitely generated multiplication modules

 Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a finitely generated unital $R$-module. In this paper, first we give necessary and sufficient conditions that a finitely generated module to be a multiplication module. Moreover, we investigate some conditions which imply that the module $M$ is the direct sum of some cyclic modules and free modules. Then some properties of Fitting ideals o...

Finding the Minimal Generating Set for a Finitely Generated Abelian Group on a Quantum Computer

In this paper we use basic concepts of Quantum Computing to try to solve the problem of finding generators of a finitely generated abelian group. We present three algorithms based on random selection of group elements to find a minimal generating set for a finite abelian group. We also describe an algorithm for finding a minimal generating set for a torsion free abelian group.

The Modular Group A Finitely Generated Group with Interesting Subgroups

The action of Möbius transformations with real coefficients preserves the hyperbolic metric in the upper half-plane model of the hyperbolic plane. The modular group is an interesting group of hyperbolic isometries generated by two Möbius transformations, namely, an order-two element, g2 HzL = -1 ê z, and an element of infinite order, g• HzL = z + 1. Viewing the action of the group elements on a...
