Dihedral Groups

Limits of Dihedral Groups

We give a characterization of limits of dihedral groups in the space of finitely generated marked groups. We also describe the topological closure of dihedral groups in the space of marked groups on a fixed number of generators.

Sumsets in dihedral groups

Let Dn be the dihedral group of order 2n. For all integers r, s such that 1 ≤ r, s ≤ 2n, we give an explicit upper bound for the minimal size μDn (r, s) = min |A · B| of sumsets (product sets) A · B, where A and B range over all subsets of Dn of cardinality r and s respectively. It is shown by construction that μDn (r, s) is bounded above by the known value of μG (r, s), where G is any abelian ...

Dihedral Groups Ii

1. Abstract characterization of Dn The group Dn has two generators r and s with orders n and 2 such that srs−1 = r−1. We will show any group with a pair of generators like r and s (except for their order) admits a homomorphism onto it from Dn, and is isomorphic to Dn if it has the same size as Dn. Theorem 1.1. Let G be generated by elements a and b where an = 1 for some n ≥ 3, b2 = 1, and bab−1...

On the eigenvalues of Cayley graphs on generalized dihedral groups

‎Let $Gamma$ be a graph with adjacency eigenvalues $lambda_1leqlambda_2leqldotsleqlambda_n$‎. ‎Then the energy of‎ ‎$Gamma$‎, ‎a concept defined in 1978 by Gutman‎, ‎is defined as $mathcal{E}(G)=sum_{i=1}^n|lambda_i|$‎. ‎Also‎ ‎the Estrada index of $Gamma$‎, ‎which is defined in 2000 by Ernesto Estrada‎, ‎is defined as $EE(Gamma)=sum_{i=1}^ne^{lambda_i}$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we compute the eigen...

Harmonic analysis of dihedral groups

The rotations are the symmetries preserving the (cyclic) ordering of vertices. Thus, a rotation g is determined by the image gv, so the subgroup N of rotations has n elements. A reflection is an order-2 symmetry reversing the ordering of vertices. Imbedding the n-gon in R, there are n axes through which the n-gon can be reflected, so there are n reflections. Since |G| = 2n, every symmetry is ei...
