Examples and Properties
- The elementary abelian group (Z/2Z)2 has four elements: { (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1) }. Addition is performed componentwise, taking the result mod 2. For instance, (1,0) + (1,1) = (0,1).
- (Z/pZ)n is generated by n elements, and n is the least possible number of generators. In particular, the set {e1, ..., en}, where ei has a 1 in the ith component and 0 elsewhere, is a minimal generating set.
- Every elementary abelian group has a fairly simple finite presentation.
-
- (Z/pZ)n < e1, ..., en | eip = 1, eiej = ejei >

Famous quotes containing the words examples and/or properties:
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
