• Examples in class of Cayley Digraphs
Cayley Diagraph
• For each generating set of a finite group G, we
can draw a graph whose vertices are elements
of G and whose arcs represent right
multiplication by a generator. Each arc is
labeled according to the generator.
• Examples in class: Z6
Properties of Cayley Diagraphs

Can get to any vertex from any other by a path. Reason: Every equation
g x = h has a solution in G and each member of G can be written as a
product of generators and their inverses.
At most one arc goes from any vertex g to a vertex h. Reason: The
solution of g x = h is unique.
Each vertex g has exactly one arc of each type starting at g and exactly
one arc of each type ending at g. Reason: It is constructed this way.
If two different sequences of arc types go from vertex g to vertex h, then
these two sequences applied to any other vertex will go to the same
vertex.
Note: These four properties characterize Cayley diagraphs.
Examples
• Examples:
Write out table of group described by Cayley
diagraph on page 72. Note the inner and outer
squares have different directions.
Try this with triangles - note the directions of inner
and outer triangles have same direction on page
71. Now do them with opposite directions.
What about pentagons?

Section 8
• Section 8: Groups of Permutations
– Definition and Notation of Permutation
– Theorem: Permutations on a set form a group
with composition as binary operation.
– Definition: Symmetric Group on n letters
– Definition: Dihedral group
– Cayley’s Theorem
Permutations
Definition: A permutation of a set A is a function from A
to A that is one-to-one and onto.
Examples:
1) Let A = {a, b, c} , and let f: A  A such that
f(a) = b
f(b) = c
f(c) = a
2) Let A = the set of real numbers, and let f: A  A such
that f(x) = 2 x. Does this work if A is the set of integers?
Permutation Groups
Theorem: Let A be a nonempty set, and let Perm[A] be the set
of permutations of A. Then Perm[A] is a group with
composition as the binary operation.
Proof: Composition is a well defined binary operation on
Perm[A]. It satisfies: 1) It is associative because composition
is associative.
2) The identity map from A to itself acts as an identity for
composition. Hence Perm[A] has an identity.
3) Every permutation is one-to-one onto, and thus has an
inverse function. The inverse is also a 1-1 function from A
onto itself. Hence Perm[A] is closed under inverses.
Permutation Notation
Write

 x1


 f ( x1 ) f ( x2 ) ... f ( xn ) 
for f: {x1, x2, …, xn}  {x1, x2, …, xn}
Note: Most of the time, the set will be {1, 2, …,n}
Composition in Permutation Notation
• Composition in permutation notation is represented by
multiplicatively. Note the order is right to left in this textbook
(and hence in this class).

Composition in Permutation Notation
Procedure: Fill in each column at a time. For each column of the
result, the top row determines a column of the right system.
In that column, the entry in the second row determines a
column of the left system. In that column, the entry in the
second column determines the entry of the selected column
of the result.

Cayley’s Theorem
Theorem (Cayley’s Theorem): Every group is isomorphic to a group of
permutations.
Proof: Let G be a group. We show that G is isomorphic to a subgroup of the
permutations on the set G. For each a in G, let ρa be the map from G to
itself given by left multiplication by a. That is, ρa(g) = a g. Then ρa is oneto-one and onto. In fact, it has an inverse. So ρa is a permutation of the
set G. The map ρ that takes a to ρa is a homomorphism, because
ρa b(g) = a b g = a ρb(g) = ρa (ρb(g)) = (ρa ρb)(g)
ρ is one-to-one and it is onto its image f[G]. It is straightforward to show
that f[G] is a subgroup of Perm[G]. Thus f induces an isomorphism
between G and f[G].
Right and Left Regular
Representations
• ρx(g) = g x
as in the theorem defined the left
regular representation f of G.
• Multiplication on the right gives the property that is
not homomorphism: μx y = μy μx. This is sometimes
called the antihomomorphism property. The inverse
map reverses the order. So
• μx(g) = g x-1
defines a map that has the correct
order to be a homomorphism. This is called the right
regular representation f of G.
Examples
• Find the left and right representations of Z2 ,
Z 3 , Z4, S3
