Some Finite Groups
Chapter 3

One element GroupLet G be an one element group. Then its only one element must be the identity element e , so
G = { e }Note. Because multiplication ee = e , the inverse of e is e .That means we always have
e−1 = eand

Two elements GroupLet G be a two element group. Because that one elementmust be the identity element e , we can assume that
G = { e , a}Question: What is multiplication result of aa ? If aa = a then
(aa)a−1 = aa−1
From associative lawa(aa−1) = aa−1
And ae = e a = e Because that a and e are different, this is a contradiction.Therefore we must have
aa = e or a2 = e

Multiplication TableLet G = { e , a} be a two element group. Then we have the following 4 multiplication results:
ee = e ea = aae = a aa = e
We can write all those results in a table as follows:
e a
e
a(L)
(R)
e a
a e
(L) means left side elements, (R) means right side elements. In this multiplication table, every row and every column has no duplicated elements

Two elements Group ExamplesIn real number case G = { 1, −1 } is a two element group. In 2×2 matrices, let
be a two elements group.From above argument, we know that

Three elements GroupLet G = { e, a, b} be a three element group. We try to obtain its multiplication table
e a b
e
a
b
(L)
(R)
e a b
a ? ?
b ? ?
We first consider what is ab=? It is either e or b.
If ab=b then must a=e and this is impossible.
So we must have ab=e. Similarly ba=e.

Now we obtain its multiplication table
e a b
e
a
b
(L)
(R)
e a b
a b e
b e b
From this table, we have
ab=e, ba=e
a2 = b , b2 = a ,
And a3= aa2 = ab=e, b3= bb2 = ba=e,

Another 3 elements Group exampleLet Z = {All integers}, define equivalent relation ~ in Z as following: For any two integers m and n if 3|(m−n),we say that m ~ nThen we have three equivalent subclasses.
a = { 3k : k∈Z }b = { 3k+1 : k∈Z }c = { 3k+2 : k∈Z }
Let set G = { a, b, c} Now we define operation + in G: Pick any m ∈ a and any n ∈ b , we can see m+n ∈ b .So we define a + b = b and b + a = b Pick any m ∈ a and any n ∈ c , we can see m+n ∈ c .So we define a + c = c and c + a = c

Pick any m ∈ a and any n ∈ a, we can see m+n ∈ a .So we define a + a = aPick any m ∈ b and any n ∈ b , we can see m+n ∈ c .So we define b + b = cPick any m ∈ c and any n ∈ c, we can see m+n ∈ b .So we define c + c = bPick any m ∈ b and any n ∈ c , we can see m+n ∈ a .So we define b + c = a and c + b = aThe addition table is

{G, +} is group and
identity element is a

Order of elementLet G be a group and a∈G. Let n be the smallest positive integer such that an = e, then we say that a has order n.Theorem: If a has order n, then set G= { e, a, a2 , a3…, an−1 }is a group. Such a is called a generator of G. We say that G is generated by a. We can see that G commutesTheorem: Any one element group is generated by identity. Any two elements group is generated by an element of order 2.Any three elements group is generated by an element of order 3
G = {1, −1} is generated by −1 (−1 has order 2)G = {1, i, −1, −i} is generated by i or −i (both have order 4)
