DEFINITIONS

An operation\textbf{operation} on AA is a function whose domain is A×AA\times A

Commutative property\textbf{Commutative property}: a,bA,ab=ba\forall a,b\in A, a\ast b=b\ast a

Closure property\textbf{Closure property}: a,bA,abA\forall a,b\in A, a\ast b\in A

Associative property\textbf{Associative property}: a,b,cA,(ab)c=a(bc)\forall a,b,c\in A, (a\ast b)\ast c=a\ast (b\ast c)

Identity element\textbf{Identity element}: element ee such that aA,ae=ea=a\forall a\in A, a\ast e=e\ast a=a

Inverse\textbf{Inverse}: Let aAa\in A. The inverse of aa is the element bb such that ab=ba=ea\ast b=b\ast a=e

Group\textbf{Group}: (G,)(G,\ast) is a group if

\bullet GG is closed under \ast

\bullet \ast is associative

\bullet \ast has an identity element

\bullet Every element of GG has an inverse element in GG

HGH\subseteq G is a subgroup\textbf{subgroup} of (G,)(G, \ast) if (H,)(H, \ast) is also a group.

Congruence modulo a subgroup\textbf{Congruence modulo a subgroup}: aa is congruent to bb modulo HH if ab1Ha\ast b^{-1}\in H.

The equivalence class\textbf{equivalence class} of aa is the set of all elements that are relation to aa. Notation: [a]R[a]_R
