i got no idea how a lattice diagram is made for Zn ... any ideas?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Like for subgroups?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah, im reading an abstract algebra book over the summer, and it mentions them in it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and maybe a klein group as well

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

You'd lose me if we wanna make lattices of an arbitrary Zn. Gist of it is... going up means union... going down means intersection... Take Z4, for instance...|dw:1367242188308:dw| Which... looks too simple to illustrate... fail... hang on :D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the verts are generators right?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Let's look at a more interesting group... K4 :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

verts? no idea what those are (mercy!)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

vertices of a graph, the places where the lines meet at

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

|dw:1367242302201:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

vertices are just groups... subgroups... maybe we could direct...|dw:1367242415216:dw| such that if a group points to another, it is a subgroup of that (if that makes sense at all LOL)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

|dw:1367242473240:dw|
