group
algebraic set with an invertible, associative internal operation admitting a neutral element
vector space
the basic algebraic structure of linear algebra; a module over a field, such that its elements can be added together or scaled by elements of the field
group theory
branch of mathematics that studies the algebraic properties of groups
Caesar cipher
simple and widely known encryption technique
modular arithmetic
system of algebraic operations defined for remainders under division by a fixed positive integer; system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" upon reaching a certain value—the modulus
subgroup
In group theory, a branch of mathematics, a subset of a group G is a subgroup of G if the members of that subset form a group with respect to the group operation in G.
elliptic curve
a smooth projective curve of genus 1 equipped with a rational basepoint
group homomorphism
function between groups that preserves multiplication structure
Banach–Tarski paradox
theorem that there exists a decomposition of a unit solid ball into a finite number of disjoint subsets, which can be put back together in a different way to yield two identical copies of the unit sphere
group representation
group homomorphism into the general linear group over a vector space
quotient group
group obtained by aggregating similar elements of a larger group
group action
operation of the elements of a group as transformations or automorphisms (mathematics)
coset
thumb| is the group \mathbb{Z}/8\mathbb{Z}, the Integers modulo n|integers mod 8 under addition. The subgroup contains only 0 and 4. There are four left cosets of : itself, , , and (written using additive notation since this is the [[additive group). Together they partition the entire group into equal-size, non-overlapping sets. The index is 4.]]
symmetry group
group of transformations under which the object is invariant
classification of finite simple groups

discrete logarithm
problem of inverting exponentiation in finite groups
quasigroup
In mathematics, especially in abstract algebra, a quasigroup is an algebraic structure that resembles a group in the sense that "division" is always possible. Quasigroups differ from groups mainly in that the associative and identity element properties are optional. In fact, a nonempty associative quasigroup is a group.
conjugacy class
set of group elements of the form g⁻¹hg for fixed h and ranging over all g
center
the set of elements that commute with every element of a group
Erlangen program
research program on the symmetries of geometry
commutator
In mathematics, the commutator gives an indication of the extent to which a certain binary operation fails to be commutative. There are different definitions used in group theory and ring theory.

SL2(R)
In mathematics, the special linear group SL(2, R) or SL2(R) is the group of 2 × 2 real matrices with determinant one: \mbox{SL}(2,\mathbf{R}) = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \colon a,b,c,d \in \mathbf{R}\mbox{ and }ad-bc=1\right\}.
