Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Groups arise in the context of symmetries of all kinds. A systematic study was originally motivated by the classification of crystals (Schönflies, Fedorov), by solving algebraic equations (Galois), by solving differential equations (Lie), and by studying representations (Frobenius).This lecture course will give an introduction to modern group theory, concentrating on finite groups. We will start with the axiomatics, and basic notions such as subgroups, quotients, homomorphisms. We will then move on to discuss semidirect products, automorphisms, group actions, extensions, Sylow theorems, solvable and nilpotent groups, free groups, presentations of groups by generators and relations, free products, and groups arising in Euclidean geometry.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written or oral examination.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Useful prerequisites include abstract Linear algebra and Algebra courses, though everything will be developed from first principles. Both the written and the oral exams will contain a mixture of recollection of material taught, and problems that the students need to solve.
Examination topics
All topics covered in the lecture course.
