In abstract algebra, a group isomorphism is a function between two groupss that sets up a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the groups in a way that respects the given group operations.

 PlanetMath: Lie group   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A Lie group is a group endowed with a compatible analytic structure.
Thus, a homomorphism in the category of Lie groups is a group homomorphism that is simultaneously an analytic mapping between two real-analytic manifolds.
The name “Lie group” honours the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie who pioneered and developed the theory of continuous transformation groups and the corresponding theory of Lie algebras of vector fields (the group's infinitesimal generators, as Lie termed them).

Group theory is a powerful method for analyzing abstract and physical systems in which symmetry --the intrinsic property of an object to remain invariant under certain classes of transformations-- is present because the mathematical study of symmetry is systematized and formalized in group theory.
group +------------------------------------------------------------ A group is an object consisting of a set G and a law of composition (or binary operation) L on G satisfying: L is associative.
A group that is not trivial is nontrivial.

Informally, an isomorphism is a kind of mapping between objects, which shows a relationship between two properties or operations.
isomorphism" applies when two complex structures can be mapped onto each other, in such a way that to each part of one structure there is a corresponding part in the other structure, where "corresponding" means that the two parts play similar roles in their respective structures.
Isomorphisms are studied in mathematics in order to extend insights from one phenomenon to others: if two objects are isomorphic, then any property which is preserved by an isomorphism and which is true of one of the objects is also true of the other.

 Automorphism Information
Inverses: by definition every isomorphism has an inverse which is also an isomorphism, and since the inverse is also an endomorphism of the same object it is an automorphism.
A group automorphism is a group isomorphism from a group to itself.
The inner automorphisms are the conjugations by the elements of the group itself.

 Standard Math Facts
A group G has an operation (written additively or multiplicatively) mapping GxG to G. There is an identity element e, an inverse for each element in the group and the operation is associative.
A subgroup is a subset of a group which is a group under the inherited operation.
Thus f(G), the image of G in H is a subgroup of H. The kernal of f, or ker(f) is all elements x of G with f(x) = identity in H. A group isomorphism is a homomorphism which is one-to-one and onto.

If f is one-to-one and onto and a group homomorphism, then it is said to be a group isomorphism.
If f is a group isomorphism and G = H, then f is said to be a group automorphism.

For example, with p = 5 we have the additive group modulo 4: 0 1 2 3 0 0 1 2 3 1 1 2 3 0 2 2 3 0 1 3 3 0 1 2 Notice that there are isomorphisms between this group and the previous multiplicative group.
Notice that, in the multiplicative group, the operation x -> x^k can be performed by starting with the identity element (i.e., 1) and multiplying by x a total of k times.
In the isomorphic additive group this corresponds to starting with the identity element (i.e., 0) and adding the number y that maps to x a total of k times.

The symmetry transformation of the pentagon is probably best seen as either the group applied to a set, or as a piece of a group permutation, rather than as a complete group permutation.

 Isomorphisms and Transformations
A hyperelliptic curve isomorphism curve defined by the data of a linear fractional transformation t(x:z) = (ax + bz:cx + dz), a scale factor e, and a polynomial u(x) of degree at most g + 1, where g is the genus of the curve.
An isomorphism can be created from the parent structures by coercing a tuple < [a, b, c, d], e, u > into the structure of isomorphisms between two hyperelliptic curves, or by creating it as a transformation of a given curve, i.e.
So in the former case the automorphism group is an extension of the elliptic curve automorphism group (of order 2) by Z/2Z, and in latter case the automorphism group is an extension (of the group of order 12) by the abelian group isomorphic to Z/2Z x Z/2Z.

But if we ask for a list of abelian groups of order 8 that comes with a guarantee that any possible abelian group of order 8 must be isomorphic to one of the groups on the list, then the question becomes manageable.
If you can show that one group has a property that the other one does not have, then you can decide that two groups are not isomorphic (provided that the property would have been transferred by any isomorphism).
The analysis of groups of order 4 given on pages 103 and 104 of the text shows that if G = 4, then either G has at least one element of order 4, and is therefore cyclic, or G has three elements of order 2 (not counting the identity).
