properties underlying modern physics
group cohomology
cohomology theory associated to a group 𝐺 and a 𝐺‐module
finitely generated group
group G that has some finite generating set S so that every element of G can be written as the product of finitely many elements of the finite set S and of inverses of such element
projective representation
homomorphism G → PGL(V) from a group G to a projective linear group PGL(V) over a vector space V

dihedral symmetry in three dimensions
regular polygonal symmetries
Higman–Sims graph
highly-symmetric node-link graph with 100 vertices and 22 edges per vertex
HNN extension
basic construction of combinatorial group theory
Real tree
metric space in which every two points are connected by a unique geodesic arc
G-module
thumb|The torus can be made an abelian group isomorphic to the product of the [[circle group. This abelian group is a Klein four-group-module, where the group acts by reflection in each of the coordinate directions (here depicted by red and blue arrows intersecting at the identity element).]]

Cremona group
the group of birational automorphisms of the n-dimensional projective space over a field k
principal ideal theorem
the theorem that extending ideals gives a mapping on the class group of an algebraic number field to the class group of its Hilbert class field, which sends all ideal classes to the class of a principal ideal
