Cayley table


A Cayley table for a group is essentially the “multiplication table” of the group.11A caveat to novices in group theory: multiplication is usually used notationally to represent the group operationMathworldPlanetmath, but the operation needn’t resemble multiplication in the reals. Hence, you should take “multiplication table” with a grain or two of salt. The columns and rows of the table (or matrix) are labeled with the elements of the group, and the cells represent the result of applying the group operation to the row-th and column-th elements.

Formally, let G be our group, with operation the group operation. Let C be the Cayley table for the group, with C(i,j) denoting the element at row i and column j. Then

C(i,j)=eiej

where ei is the ith element of the group, and ej is the jth element.

Note that for an Abelian groupMathworldPlanetmath, we have eiej=ejei, hence the Cayley table is a symmetric matrixMathworldPlanetmath.

  • The Cayley table for 4, the group of integers modulo 4 (under addition), would be

    ([0][1][2][3][0][0][1][2][3][1][1][2][3][0][2][2][3][0][1][3][3][0][1][2])
  • The Cayley table for S3, the permutation groupMathworldPlanetmath of order 3, is

    ((1)(123)(132)(12)(13)(23)(1)(1)(123)(132)(12)(13)(23)(123)(123)(132)(1)(13)(23)(12)(132)(132)(1)(123)(23)(12)(13)(12)(12)(23)(13)(1)(132)(123)(13)(13)(12)(23)(123)(1)(132)(23)(23)(13)(12)(132)(123)(1))
