  Cyclic group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In group theory, a cyclic group is a group that can be generated by a single element, in the sense that the group has an element a (called a "generator" of the group) such that, when written multiplicatively, every element of the group is a power of a (or na when the notation is additive).
The cycle graphs of finite cyclic groups are all n-sided polygons with the elements at the vertices.
Similarly, the endomorphism ring of the infinite cyclic group is isomorphic to the ring Z, and its automorphism group is isomorphic to the group of units of the ring Z, i.e.

The speed of the primary cyclic pattern is absolute and constant, while the speeds of the secondary cyclic wave patterns are relative and variable.
Subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, and all the entities in the universe are transitory states of simple or complex wave patterns of motion generated by the virtually infinite interweavings and intertransformations of the formal gestalt wave patterns of the universe.

cyclic group +------------------------------------------------------------ If G is a group and if x is an element of G, the cyclic group langle x rangle generated by x is the set of all powers of x: langle x rangle = ldots, x^-2, x^-1, 1, x, x^2, ldots.
Note that if langle x rangle is infinite cyclic then langle x rangle is isomorphic to Z^+, the integers under addition.
If langle x rangle is a cyclic group of order n, then langle x rangle is isomorphic to Z/n, where Z/n is the group satisfying the following properties (we use additive notation as opposed to multiplicative notation for the law of composition of Z/n): 1.

When we have some infinite pattern, and when we shift this pattern a certain distance along some direction, and when, after having done so, the pattern is precisely mapped onto itself, the pattern is said to possess translational symmetry.
Infinite groups can also be generated by elements each of which has a finite period, for instance the reflections in two parallel mirrors, and indeed a reflection has period 2.
Because the subgroup H is cyclic, multiplication with one of its elements does not lead us outside this subgroup, so all cosets of this subgroup with respect to elements of this subgroup are identical to the subgroup itself.

As abstract groups, the infinite cyclic subgroups within the modular group are all isomorphic.
However, for the infinite cyclic groups generated by elements with trace values equal to two, there is just a single conjugacy equivalence class, while for each trace value greater than two there are more than one conjugacy equivalence class.
The three possible types of actions are referred to as elliptic/rotations, as for the first two family members of {f_n=-1/z+n}, parabolic/infinite cyclic, as for the third member of the family, and hyperbolic/pushing forward, as for all other family members.

Date: 03/11/2003 at 08:51:24 From: Doctor Jacques Subject: Re: Cyclic Groups Hi Karen, I'm afraid you cannot say "n is the order of the infinite group" : if the group is infinite, its order is infinite by definition, and you cannot use it as a number since infinity is not a number.
If any of these is the infinite cyclic group, it is isomorphic to Z under addition, and Z contains an infinite number of subgroups (all nZ for integer n).
This means that all the cyclic subgroups of G are finite.

In particular, if G is generated by the infinite support of L, then we prove that C is homogeneous.
Then we show that there are two cyclic subgroups X and Y of G of prime power order, and two special units u in KX and v in KY, where KX is the K-linear span of X in R, such that the group generated by u and v contains a nonabelian free group.

 Topfest 99 -- Abstracts
More generally, in a closed, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold with cyclic fundamental group, knots which are round, in the sense that their exteriors are solid tori, can be characterized among all knots with irreducible exterior in terms of their essential surfaces or their boundary slopes.
Indeed, it seems possible that in a manifold with cyclic fundamental group, round knots can be characterized by some property, stated in terms of essential surfaces or boundary slopes, which is "ubiquitous" in the sense that every closed, irreducible, orientable 3-manifold contains a knot having the property in question.
A further consequence will be that there are infinitely many almost free actions by SO(3) on the 7-sphere which preserve the Hopf fibration over the 4-sphere and which do not extend to the 8-disc.
