The word group theory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In group theory, a word is any written product of group elements and their inverses. For example, if x, y and z are elements of a group G, then xy, z−1xzz and y−1zxx−1yz−1 are words in the set {xyz}. Two different words may evaluate to the same value in G,[1] or even in every group.[2] Words play an important role in the theory of free groups and presentations, and are central objects of study in combinatorial group theory.

Definitions[edit]

Let G be a group, and let S be a subset of G. A word in S is any expression of the form

{displaystyle s_{1}^{varepsilon _{1}}s_{2}^{varepsilon _{2}}cdots s_{n}^{varepsilon _{n}}}

where s1,…,sn are elements of S, called generators, and each εi is ±1. The number n is known as the length of the word.

Each word in S represents an element of G, namely the product of the expression. By convention, the unique[3] identity element can be represented by the empty word, which is the unique word of length zero.

Notation[edit]

When writing words, it is common to use exponential notation as an abbreviation. For example, the word

{displaystyle xxy^{-1}zyzzzx^{-1}x^{-1},}

could be written as

{displaystyle x^{2}y^{-1}zyz^{3}x^{-2}.,}

This latter expression is not a word itself—it is simply a shorter notation for the original.

When dealing with long words, it can be helpful to use an overline to denote inverses of elements of S. Using overline notation, the above word would be written as follows:

{displaystyle x^{2}{overline {y}}zyz^{3}{overline {x}}^{2}.,}

Reduced words[edit]

Any word in which a generator appears next to its own inverse (xx−1 or x−1x) can be simplified by omitting the redundant pair:

{displaystyle y^{-1}zxx^{-1}y;;longrightarrow ;;y^{-1}zy.}

This operation is known as reduction, and it does not change the group element represented by the word. Reductions can be thought of as relations (defined below) that follow from the group axioms.

A reduced word is a word that contains no redundant pairs. Any word can be simplified to a reduced word by performing a sequence of reductions:

{displaystyle xzy^{-1}xx^{-1}yz^{-1}zz^{-1}yz;;longrightarrow ;;xyz.}

The result does not depend on the order in which the reductions are performed.

A word is cyclically reduced if and only if every cyclic permutation of the word is reduced.

Operations on words[edit]

The product of two words is obtained by concatenation:

{displaystyle left(xzyz^{-1}right)left(zy^{-1}x^{-1}yright)=xzyz^{-1}zy^{-1}x^{-1}y.}

Even if the two words are reduced, the product may not be.

The inverse of a word is obtained by inverting each generator, and reversing the order of the elements:

{displaystyle left(zy^{-1}x^{-1}yright)^{-1}=y^{-1}xyz^{-1}.}

The product of a word with its inverse can be reduced to the empty word:

{displaystyle zy^{-1}x^{-1}y;y^{-1}xyz^{-1}=1.}

You can move a generator from the beginning to the end of a word by conjugation:

{displaystyle x^{-1}left(xy^{-1}z^{-1}yzright)x=y^{-1}z^{-1}yzx.}

Generating set of a group[edit]

A subset S of a group G is called a generating set if every element of G can be represented by a word in S.

When S is not a generating set for G, the set of elements represented by words in S is a subgroup of G, known as the subgroup of G generated by S and usually denoted langle Srangle . It is the smallest subgroup of G that contains the elements of S.

Normal forms[edit]

A normal form for a group G with generating set S is a choice of one reduced word in S for each element of G. For example:

  • The words 1, i, j, ij are a normal form for the Klein four-group with S = {i,  j}  and 1 representing the empty word (the identity element for the group).
  • The words 1, r, r2, …, rn-1, s, sr, …, srn-1 are a normal form for the dihedral group Dihn with S = {s,  r}  and 1 as above.
  • The set of words of the form xmyn for m,n ∈ Z are a normal form for the direct product of the cyclic groups x and y with S = {x,  y}.
  • The set of reduced words in S are the unique normal form for the free group over S.

Relations and presentations[edit]

If S is a generating set for a group G, a relation is a pair of words in S that represent the same element of G. These are usually written as equations, e.g. {displaystyle x^{-1}yx=y^{2}.,}
A set {mathcal {R}} of relations defines G if every relation in G follows logically from those in {mathcal {R}} using the axioms for a group. A presentation for G is a pair {displaystyle langle Smid {mathcal {R}}rangle }, where S is a generating set for G and {mathcal {R}} is a defining set of relations.

For example, the Klein four-group can be defined by the presentation

{displaystyle langle i,jmid i^{2}=1,,j^{2}=1,,ij=jirangle .}

Here 1 denotes the empty word, which represents the identity element.

Free groups[edit]

If S is any set, the free group over S is the group with presentation {displaystyle langle Smid ;rangle }. That is, the free group over S is the group generated by the elements of S, with no extra relations. Every element of the free group can be written uniquely as a reduced word in S.

В теории групп, слово — это любое письменное произведение элементов группы и их обратных значений. Например, если x, y и z являются элементами группы G, то xy, zxzz и yzxxyz — слова из множества {x, y, z}. Два разных слова могут давать одно и то же значение в G или даже в каждой группе. Слова играют важную роль в теории свободных групп и представлений и являются центральными объектами изучения комбинаторной теории групп.

Определение

Пусть G — группа, а S — подмножество группы G. Слово в S — это любое выражение формы

s 1 ε 1 s 2 ε 2 ⋯ sn ε N { Displaystyle s_ {1} ^ { varepsilon _ {1}} s_ {2} ^ { varepsilon _ {2}} cdots s_ {n} ^ { varepsilon _ {n}}}{ displaystyle s_ {1} ^ { varepsilon _ {1} } s_ {2} ^ { varepsilon _ {2}}  cdots s_ {n} ^ { varepsilon _ {n}}}

где s 1,…, s n — элементы S, и каждый ε i равен ± 1. Число n известно как длина слова.

Каждое слово в S представляет собой элемент G, а именно продукт выражения. По соглашению, identity (уникальный) элемент может быть представлен пустым словом, которое является уникальным словом нулевой длины.

Нотация

При написании слов обычно используется экспоненциальная нотация в качестве сокращения. Например, слово

xxy — 1 zyzzzx — 1 x — 1 { displaystyle xxy ^ {- 1} zyzzzx ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} ,}{ displaystyle xxy ^ {- 1} zyzzzx ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} ,}

можно записать как

х 2 у — 1 zyz 3 х — 2. { displaystyle x ^ {2} y ^ {- 1} zyz ^ {3} x ^ {- 2}. ,}{ displaystyle x ^ {2} y ^ {- 1} zyz ^ {3} x ^ {- 2}. ,}

Это последнее выражение не является само словом — это просто сокращенное обозначение оригинала..

При работе с длинными словами может быть полезно использовать надстрочный знак для обозначения инверсий элементов S. Используя надстрочную нотацию, указанное выше слово будет записано следующим образом:

x 2 y ¯ zyz 3 x ¯ 2. { displaystyle x ^ {2} { overline {y}} zyz ^ {3} { overline {x}} ^ {2}. ,}{ Displaystyle х ^ {2} { overline {y}} zyz ^ {3} { overline {x}} ^ {2}. ,}

Слова и презентации

Подмножество S группы G называется порождающим набором, если каждый элемент G может быть представлен словом в S. Если S является порождающим набором, отношение представляет собой пару слов в S, которые представляют один и тот же элемент G. Обычно они записываются в виде уравнений, например х — 1 у х = у 2. { displaystyle x ^ {- 1} yx = y ^ {2}. ,}{ displaystyle x ^ {- 1} yx = y ^ {2}. ,} Набор R { displaystyle { mathcal {R}}}{ mathcal {R}} из Relations определяет G, если каждое отношение в G логически следует из отношений в R { displaystyle { mathcal {R}}}{ mathcal {R}} , используя аксиомы для группы. A представление для G — это пара ⟨S ∣ R⟩ { displaystyle langle S mid { mathcal {R}} rangle}{ displaystyle  langle S  mid { mathcal {R} }  rangle} , где S — генераторный набор для G и R { displaystyle { mathcal {R}}}{ mathcal {R}} является определяющим набором отношений.

Например, четырехгруппа Клейна может быть определена представлением

⟨i, j ∣ i 2 = 1, j 2 = 1, i j = j i⟩. { displaystyle langle i, j mid i ^ {2} = 1, , j ^ {2} = 1, , ij = ji rangle.}{ displaystyle  langle i, j  mid i ^ {2} = 1, , j ^ {2} = 1, , ij = ji  rangle.}

Здесь 1 обозначает пустое слово, которое представляет элемент идентичности.

Когда S не является порождающим набором для G, набор элементов, представленных словами в S, является подгруппой группы G. Это известно как подгруппа группы G, генерируемая S, обычно обозначается как ⟨S⟩ { displaystyle langle S rangle} langle S  rangle . Это наименьшая подгруппа G, содержащая элементы S.

Сокращенные слова

Любое слово, в котором генератор появляется рядом с его собственным обратным (xx или xx), можно упростить, исключив избыточная пара:

y — 1 zxx — 1 y ⟶ y — 1 zy. { displaystyle y ^ {- 1} zxx ^ {- 1} y ; ; longrightarrow ; ; y ^ {- 1} zy.}{ displaystyle y ^ { -1} zxx ^ {- 1} y ; ;  longrightarrow ; ; y ^ {- 1} zy.}

Эта операция известна как сокращение, и это не меняет элемент группы, представленный словом. (Редукции можно рассматривать как отношения, следующие из групповых аксиом.)

A сокращенное слово — это слово, не содержащее лишних пар. Любое слово можно упростить до сокращенного слова, выполнив последовательность сокращений:

x z y — 1 x x — 1 y z — 1 z z — 1 y z ⟶ x y z. { displaystyle xzy ^ {- 1} xx ^ {- 1} yz ^ {- 1} zz ^ {- 1} yz ; ; longrightarrow ; ; xyz.}{ displaystyle xzy ^ {- 1} xx ^ {- 1} yz ^ {- 1} zz ^ {- 1} yz ; ;  longrightarrow ; ; xyz. }

Результат не зависит от порядок, в котором выполняются сокращения.

Если S — любой набор, свободная группа над S — это группа с представлением ⟨S ∣⟩ { displaystyle langle S mid ; rangle}{ displaystyle  langle S  mid ;  rangle} . То есть свободная группа над S — это группа, порожденная элементами S, без дополнительных отношений. Каждый элемент свободной группы может быть записан однозначно как сокращенное слово в S.

Слово циклически сокращается тогда и только тогда, когда каждая циклическая перестановка слова сокращено.

Нормальные формы

A нормальные формы для группы G с порождающим набором S — это выбор одного сокращенного слова в S для каждого элемента G. Например:

  • Слова 1, i, j, ij являются нормальной формой для четырехгруппы Клейна.
  • Слова 1, r, r,…, r, s, sr,…, sr являются нормальной формой для группы диэдра Dih n.
  • Набор сокращенных слов в S является нормальной формой для свободной группы над S.
  • Набор слов формы xy для m, n ∈ Z представляют собой нормальную форму для прямого произведения циклических групп 〈x〉 и 〈y〉.

Операции над словами

произведение двух слов получается конкатенацией:

(xzyz — 1) (zy — 1 x — 1 y) = xzyz — 1 zy — 1 x — 1 y. { displaystyle left (xzyz ^ {- 1} right) left (zy ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} y right) = xzyz ^ {- 1} zy ^ {- 1} x ^ { -1} y.}{  displaystyle  left (xzyz ^ {- 1}  right)  left (zy ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} y  right) = xzyz ^ {- 1} zy ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} y.}

Даже если два слова сократить, продукта может не быть.

инверсия слова получается путем инвертирования каждого генератора и переключения порядка элементов:

(zy — 1 x — 1 y) — 1 = y — 1 xyz — 1. { displaystyle left (zy ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} y right) ^ {- 1} = y ^ {- 1} xyz ^ {- 1}.}{ displaystyle  left (zy ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} y  right) ^ {- 1} = y ^ {- 1} xyz ^ {- 1}.}

Произведение слова с обратным ему можно свести к пустому слову:

zy — 1 x — 1 yy — 1 xyz — 1 = 1. { displaystyle zy ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} y ; y ^ { -1} xyz ^ {- 1} = 1.}{ displaystyle zy ^ {- 1} x ^ {- 1} y ; y ^ {- 1} xyz ^ {- 1} = 1.}

Вы можете переместить генератор из начала в конец слова с помощью спряжения :

x — 1 (xy — 1 z — 1 yz) х = у — 1 z — 1 yzx. { displaystyle x ^ {- 1} left (xy ^ {- 1} z ^ {- 1} yz right) x = y ^ {- 1} z ^ {- 1} yzx.}{ displaystyle x ^ {- 1}  left (xy ^ {- 1} z ^ {- 1} yz  right) x = y ^ {- 1} z ^ {- 1} yzx.}

Слово проблема

Учитывая представление ⟨S ∣ R⟩ { displaystyle langle S mid { mathcal {R}} rangle}{ displaystyle  langle S  mid { mathcal {R} }  rangle} для группы G, проблема слова — это алгоритмическая проблема решения, заданного в качестве входных двух слов в S, представляют ли они один и тот же элемент G. Проблема слова — одна из трех алгоритмических проблем для групп, предложенных Максом Деном в 1911 году. Петр Новиков в 1955 году показал, что существует конечно представленная группа G такая, что проблема слов для G неразрешима. (Новиков 1955)

    Слайд 1

    The Word-Group Theory

    Lecture 9

  • Слайд 2

    Lecture outline

    Syntactic relations.
    The definition and general characteristics.
    Classification of word-groups.

  • Слайд 3

    The syntactic notions

    Syntactic relations: the syntagmatic (linear) relations between the syntactic units.

    1) Coordination and subordination (traditionally);
    2) + predication;
    3) + accumulation (Burlakova et al.).

    Barkhudarov: on the basis of equality/inequality of the syntactic function of the whole group and its IC (immediate constituents)

  • Слайд 4

    The syntactic relations

    Coordination (independence):
    word group, sentence, text;
    the syntactic function of the whole group coincides with the syntactic function of every IC: pens and pencils were purchased (pens were purchased, pencils were purchased);
    symmetric and asymmetric (pens and pencils, ladies and gentlemen);
    copulative (you and me), disjunctive (you or me), adversative (strict but just), causative-consecutive (He didn’t come, because…).

  • Слайд 5

    Subordination (dependence, difference linguistic rank):
    word-group and sentence;
    the syntactic function of the whole coincides with the function of one of ICs: A tall boy came in (A boy came in, * Tall came in);
    adverbial (to run slowly), objective (to help a friend); attributive (a new house) (Burlakova, the functions in a sentences);
    the head and the adjunct.

  • Слайд 6

    Syntactic relations

    Predication (interdependence):
    the syntactic function of the whole group is different from the syntactic function of every IC: The boy reads well (* the boy well, * reads well);
    primary (the subject and the predicate): men worked;
    secondary (non-finite forms of the verb and nominal elements): his reading, for me to know, the boy running, I saw him run;
    Burlakova: the term is not very good (in not consistent with coordination and subordination; interdependence – the relation b/w the IC).

  • Слайд 7

    Accumulative
    The relations b/w the constituents can be identified only with regard to the word which is not the part of the word combination: (write) his friend a letter; these important (decisions);
    the positions of the components are fixed (*important these);
    and cannot be used (*these and important; not coordinate).

  • Слайд 8

    The word-group. The definition.

    the basic unit of syntax (as well as the sentence);
    2 components minimum;
    grammatical structure.

    No generally accepted definition; negative approach (sth the word-group is not or does not have);
    Non-communicative (vs. the sentence).

  • Слайд 9

    The views on word-groups

    Broad (every syntactically organized group, the relations do not matter);
    Narrow (two notional words).

    General characteristics:
    As a naming unit it differs from a compound word: two constituents = two denotates (a blackbird, a black bird);
    A dependent syntactic unit; non-communicative, no intonation.

  • Слайд 10

    The broad view: syntagmatic groupings (by Blokh)

    Notional words (notional phrases): denote complex phenomena and their properties in their interconnection (a caring mother);
    Notional word + functional word (formative combinations): equivalent to separate words in terms of their nominative function, can be expanded (in a box = in an old box);
    Functional words: used as connectors or specifiers of notional elements of various status: up to, must be able.
    Burlakova supports the broad view.

  • Слайд 11

    The notional phrases (classification)

    Equipotent (words are related on equal rank);
    Dominational(words are syntactically unequal).

    Equipotent syndetic and asyndetic (prose and poetry vs. dark, gloomy);

    Equipotent coordinative (quick and careless) and cumulative (agreed, but reluctantly; quick – and careless): equal formally, not in terms of domination.

  • Слайд 12

    Dominational connection (Blokh)

    The principal (dominating) – kernel, kernel element, head word – and the subordinate constituents (adjunct, adjunct-word, expansion).

    Dominational consecutive (a careful observer);
    Domination cumulative (an observer, seemingly careful).

  • Слайд 13

    Dominational bilateral (reciprocal, two-way): predicative (complete and incomplete) – the train arrived, the arrival of the train, the pupil understanding his mistakes.

    Dominational mono-lateral (completive): the syntactic status of the whole element is determined by the nature of the head-word.

  • Слайд 14

    Dominational completive connection: objective and qualifying.
    Objective: direct non-prepositional (saw me), indirect non-prepositional (show me), indirect prepositional (sympathised with the child).
    Qualifying: attributive (the woman of strong character; a beautiful ring); adverbial primary (verb+ adverbial modifier = receive with surprise); adverbial secondary (non-verbal kernel + adverbial modifier+ strikingly alike).

  • Слайд 15

    The narrow view (Barkhudarov)

    Word-group (phrase) is a group of syntactically relatednotional words, which is the component of a sentence, but does not constitute a sentence on its own.
    According to syntactic relations: subordinate (ready to go, politically active, cold water), co-ordinate (pens and pencils, strict but just), predicative (for you to go).
    According to the number of types of relations expresses: elementary (three black dogs – subordination); compound (red and blue pencils – coordination and subordination).

  • Слайд 16

    The subordinate phrase

    Syntactically unequal;
    The head and the adjunct.
    Types:
    The word class to which the head belongs: noun phrases (wonderful weather), verb phrases (run fast), adverb phrases (extremely quickly), pronoun phrases (nothing interesting).

  • Слайд 17

    The subordinate phrase: types

    ICs represented with a word or a word phrase:
    simple (cold water);
    with the expanded head (saw him there, three black dogs);
    with the expanded adjunct (politically active youth);
    with the expanded head and adjunct (the reception of the delegation by the President of the republic).

  • Слайд 18

    ICs separated / non-separated from each other:
    Continuous: nicely dressed;
    Discontinuous: Slowly, Mr Johnson got out of the chair; Of the threat she said nothing.

  • Слайд 19

    Noun Phrases

    The place of the adjunct:
    Noun phrases with pre-posed adjuncts: cold water, her shoulders, thirty-five minutes, slanting stroke, quoted material, Paul’s room, consonant change.

    Noun phrases with post-posed adjuncts: the roof of the house, the people present, every creature alive, a man hard to please, desire to come, my life as an artist.

  • Слайд 20

    Verb Phrases

    According to the class of the verb:
    Verb phrases with transitive head;
    Verb phrases with the intransitive head;
    Verb phrases with the transitive or intransitive verb head.

    The adjuncts are divided accordingly:
    Extensions (can be used with any head – transitive or intransitive);
    Complements (the distribution is limited, with the verb of a particular class only).

  • Слайд 21

    Verb phrases

    Adjuncts (complements):
    object complements (transitive head):
    prepositional and non-prepositional (wait for John, insist on doing vs. says not to worry, read a book, turn the page).
    !!! Prepositional complements vs. extensions !!!
    the preposition is determined by the verb vs. the preposition does not depend on the verb
    He believes in God vs. He lives in Chicago.
    !!! Non-preposition complements vs. extensions !!!
    I came to speak with you vs. I wanted to speak with you
    Extension can be substituted for ‘in order to’

  • Слайд 22

    Adjuncts (complements):
    qualifying complements (intransitive head): rise slowly: seemed quite the best plan, died an old man, look severe, become proficient in.

  • Слайд 23

    According to the number and type of adjuncts:
    simple (see a boy, walk slowly);
    verb phrases with two extensions: He ran hastily downstairs;
    verb phrases with an extension and a compliments: I watched her closely;
    verb phrases with two non-prepositional object complements: gave Tom a book;
    verb phrases with a propositional and non-prepositional object complements: explained the whole affair to Mr Jones;
    verb phrases with an object complement and a qualifying complement: consider it a privilege.

  • Слайд 24

    Other types of phrases

    Adjective phrases:
    Politically active; rich in possible modulations; larger units than the sentence; loudest of all.
    Adverb phrases:
    Awfully quickly, rather sharply, high in the air.
    Pronoun phrases:
    Some of the workers, nothing to do, something personal.

  • Слайд 25

    Coordinate phrases

    According to the means used to connect the constituents:
    Syndetic (with the conjunction): simple syndetic phrases (with the continuous conjunction) – and, but, yet, or, rather, than, as well as – and correlative syndetic phrases (with the discountinuous conjunction): both … and, either … or, neither … not, from … to.
    Harsh and loud, precious nut remote, structural rather than historical.
    Either a gerund or a participle, neither reading nor writing.

  • Слайд 26

    According to the means used to connect the constituents:
    Asyndetic: copulative (the co-ordinate conjunction can be used) and appositive (conjunction cannot be used).

    Hot, dusty, tired…
    Bill, the dean’s boy; you young people; the young man Edgar.

  • Слайд 27

    Predicative phrases

    The combinations of the subject and the predicate are not included; The head is only NON-FINITE!
    Infinitive predicative phrases (for John to go, for her daughter to look at her);
    Gerund predicative phrases (John’s going, John being late);
    Absolute predicative phrases: all things considered; (with) his voice trembling.

    Other opinions: predicative phrases of two times: primary (the boy runs) and secondary (the boy’s running).

  • Слайд 28

    Conclusion

    The word-group is a combination of at least two notional words (?) which do not constitute the sentence but are syntactically connected.
    The type of syntagmatic relations: coordinate, subordinate, predicative.
    The internal structure (simple, expanded – to read and translate the text, extended – a very beautiful flower).
    Subordinate word-groups: the head and the adjunct; noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun phrases.

III. Practical Assignment:
1) Test Questions 3.1 (2)
2) Transform NP and state the type of grammatical relations btw their elements:

school child table lamp
a devil of a man an angel of a girl
3) Analyze word groups highlighted in the text from the point of structural and cognitive approaches: A Lawyer’s Question

A Lawyer’s Question
A (1) small town prosecuting attorney (2) called his first witness (3) to the stand in a trial – a (4) grandmotherly, elderly woman. (5) He approached her and asked, «Mrs. Jones, do you know me?» She responded, «Why, yes, I (6) do know you Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you’ve been (7) a big disappointment to me. You lie, you (8) cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them (9) behind their backs. You think you’re a rising big shot when you haven’t (10) the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, (11) I know you.»
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he (12) pointed across the room and asked, «Mrs. Williams, do you know (13) the defense attorney?»
She again replied, «Why, yes I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I (14) used to baby-sit him (15) for his parents. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He’s (16) lazy, bigoted, he has (17) a drinking problem. The man can’t build (18) a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him.»
(19) At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and (20) called both counselors to the bench. (21) In a very quiet voice, he (22) said with menace, «If (23) either of you asks her if she knows me, you’ll be in jail (24) for contempt (25) within 5 minutes!»
