More generally, any (skew) field gives rise to two groups: the additive group of all field elements with 0 as identity element, and the multiplicative group of all non-zero field elements with 1 as identity element.
This is the automorphism group of the given object and captures its “internal symmetries”.
In Galois theory, the symmetry groups of field extensions (or equivalently: the symmetry groups of solutions to polynomial equations) are the central object of study; they are called Galois groups.

The centralizer in a group G of a subset E consists of all the elements of G which commute with every element of E. It is a subgroup of G. The centralizer in G of G itself is the center of G (it's the intersection of all centralizers in G).
The alternating group is the derived subgroup of the symmetric group: A

 Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A group G is said to be an abelian group (or commutative) if the operation is commutative, that is, for all a, b in G, a * b = b * a.
A cyclic group is a group that is generated by a single element.
In multiplicative groups, the identity element is denoted by 1.

 Exponential Partitions
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.

A group G is said to be a finite group if the set G has a finite number of elements.
Let G be a group, and let H be a subset of G. Then H is called a subgroup of G if H is itself a group, under the operation induced by G. Proposition.
