DEFINITION OF A GROUP A set of elements together with a binary operation that satisfies Associativity: Identity: Inverses:
2
EXAMPLES Sets of integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers with + Set of vectors (plane/space) with + Sets of nonzero rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers with x Sets {0,1,…,N-1} with + mod N
3
COUNTEREXAMPLES Sets of integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers with x Set of space vectors with cross product Set of nonnegative integers with + Sets of integers {0,1,…,N-1} with x modN
4
RESULT Theorem: Inverses are Unique Proof:
5
RESULT Theorem: Proof:
6
RESULT Corollary Set of integers {1,…,N-1} with x modN is a group if and only if N is prime
7
RESULT Corollary Set of integers {1,…,N-1} with x modN is a group if and only if N is prime
8
TABULAR PROOF
9
COMBINATORIAL PROOF Only If Part: If N is not prime then it admits a factorization N=AB where Then and x is not a binary operation on the set {1,...,N-1}
10
COMBINATORIAL PROOF If Part: Assume that It suffices to show that has N-1 elements since then it contains 1. If not then there exists such thatand henceImpossible!
11
EXTENSION Theorem: Ifthen the set forms a group under x mod N. Example: for N=15
