Across
- 1. Two elements x and y are ___ if gxg^-1 = y for some element in the group.
- 3. A cube and an octahedron are these types of solids.
- 6. Known as a partial converse to Lagrange's theorem; a subgroup with an order that is a prime divisor of the order of the original group always exists.
- 8. The subgroup of a group is denoted by this symbol.
- 9. A type of group that describes the symmetries of a polygon.
- 10. The field of mathematics that is dealing with groups.
- 11. A property of two groups that are one-to-one and have the same multiplication operation.
- 13. A division of a set into disjoint sets whose union is the entire set.
- 16. A type of commutative group.
- 18. The set of all numbers denoted by a capital Z.
- 22. The theory that connects field theory and group theory.
- 24. This is the set of all images of an element in the set as g varies through the original group to produce another set called the orbit of x.
- 25. All groups are isomorphic to a subgroup of some permutation group.
- 26. A subset of the original set that forms a group under the same multiplication operation.
- 27. The five solids that are considered to be "regular".
- 29. This is a homomorphism from a group to the group of permutations of a set.
- 31. A transformation that keeps the original shape unchanged.
- 32. The rotational symmetry of a cube is isomorphic to that of S#___ where S is the permutation group of the answer.
- 34. A function that maps one group to another group that is isomorphic to it.
- 35. The number of symmetries of a tetrahedron.
- 37. The order of any subgroup is a divisor of the order of the original group.
- 38. A group consisting of the integers modulo n exists only if n obeys this property.
- 39. A group with elements consisting of (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1).
- 40. A set with a multiplication operation.
- 41. This is similar to an isomorphism except it does not have to be a bijection.
Down
- 2. One of the three group axioms.
- 4. The dual solid of an icosahedron.
- 5. The Lorentz group is one example of this.
- 7. A bijection from one set to itself.
- 12. This is the group of all g that leave x fixed if x is a part of the set.
- 14. This is a subgroup of the permutation group.
- 15. A one-to-one correspondence from one set onto another.
- 17. The group G contains at least one subgroup of order p^m where p is a prime number that divides |G| and m is the highest power of p such that p^m divides |G|.
- 19. This is the number of group axioms that there are.
- 20. Any two subgroups that have an order of p^m are conjugate.
- 21. This is the set of all elements that are mapped to the identity element in the new group.

- 30. The number of subgroups that have an order of p^m is congruent to one modulo p and is also a factor of |G| / p^m.
- 33. The "superset" of group theory and also ring theory.
- 36. A group in special relativity that represents the set of all possible transformations of spacetime.
