Planar Groups

چکیده
In abstract algebra courses, teachers are often confronted with the task of drawing subgroup lattices. For purposes of instruction, it is usually desirable that these lattices be planar graphs (with no crossings). We present a characterization of abelian groups with this property. We also resolve the following problem in the abelian case: if the subgroup lattice is required to be drawn hierarchically (that is, in monotonic order of index within the group), when is it possible to draw the lattice without crossings?

Automorphism Groups of Planar Graphs
By Frucht’s Theorem, every abstract finite group is isomorphic to the automorphism group of some graph. In 1975, Babai characterized which of these abstract groups can be realized as automorphism groups of planar graphs. In this paper, we give a more detailed description of these groups in two steps. First, we describe stabilizers of vertices in connected planar graphs as the class of groups cl...
متن کاملOn the planarity of a graph related to the join of subgroups of a finite group
Let $G$ be a finite group which is not a cyclic $p$-group, $p$ a prime number. We define an undirected simple graph $Delta(G)$ whose vertices are the proper subgroups of $G$, which are not contained in the Frattini subgroup of $G$ and two vertices $H$ and $K$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G=langle H , Krangle$. In this paper we classify finite groups with planar graph. ...
متن کاملA Planar Algebra Construction of the Haagerup Subfactor
Most known examples of subfactors occur in families, coming from algebraic objects such as groups, quantum groups and rational conformal field theories. The Haagerup subfactor is the smallest index finite-depth subfactor which does not occur in one of these families. In this paper we construct the planar algebra associated to the Haagerup subfactor, which provides a new proof of the existence o...
متن کاملPrediction of Instability in Planar Anisotropic Sheet Metal Forming Processes
In this paper instability of planar anisotropic sheet metal during a few forming processes is investigated for the first time. For this reason components of the constitutive tangent tensor for planar anisotropic sheets are developed. By using the above tensor location of necking is predicted. Direction of the shear band is also predicted using the acoustic tensor. A finite element program is pr...
متن کاملConnectivity and Planarity of Cayley Graphs
The question of which groups admit planar Cayley graphs goes back over 100 years, being settled for finite groups by Maschke in 1896. Since that time, various authors have studied infinite planar Cayley graphs which satisfy additional special conditions. We consider the question of which groups possess any planar Cayley graphs at all by categorizing such graphs according to their connectivity. ...
متن کاملEFFECT OF FINISH ROLLING TEMPERATURE ON MICROSTRUCTURE,TEXTURE AND PLANAR ANISOTROPY IN ALUMINUM ALLOY AA3004 SHEETS
AA3004 alloy is widely used in can making. The major concern in the production of canbodies is earing, which develop by high planar anisotropy of rolled sheet. Balance ofrecrystallisation and rolling textures together with a uniform and fine grain microstructure canminimize the earing. The effects of finish rolling temperature (FRT) on planar anisotropy,microstructure, texture development and m...
