Symbols used in Group Theory
Order of Group Element
- $\order x$
The order of $x$ (in $G$), denoted $\order x$, is the smallest $k \in \Z_{> 0}$ such that $x^k = e_G$.
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\order x\) is \order x
.
Group Action
- $\wedge$
$g \wedge x$ is sometimes used for the image of $x$ under the action of $g$, but this usage is non-standard.
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\wedge\) is \wedge
.
The same symbol can be produced using \land
, but this is usually used when the symbol is used in the sense of the logical and context.
