ConjugacyClasses

The conjugacy classes of a finite group — the orbits of . Their number is the dimension of the centre of .

ConjugacyClasses(group)the classes, as a list of lists
GroupCentreDimension(group)how many there are

Domain: Group algebras

Details
  • An abelian group has one class per element, so
  • has classes for odd and for even
  • has three: the identity, the transpositions, and the 3-cycles
  • The classes partition the group, and the identity is always alone in its own
