A cyclic group \g\ is a group that can be generated by a single element \a\, so that every element in \g\ has the form \ai\ for some integer \i\. If g for a single element x then we call g a cyclic group.

When a group is given by a rewriting relation, a rewriting system on cyclic words is induced, which is used to construct algorithms to find minimal length elements of conjugacy classes in the group. The integers zunder ordinary addition are a cyclic group, being generated by 1 or. Every normal subgroup of a group g is the kernel of a homomorphism of g. If every proper subgroup of a group g is cyclic, then must g itself be cyclic. Suppose that g is a cyclic group that is generated by the element g.

Now we can easily see that in a cyclic group of order 5, x, x2, x3, and x4 generate this group. Can you please exemplify this with a trivial example please. We started the study of groups by considering planar isometries. One reason that cyclic groups are so important, is that any group g contains lots of cyclic groups, the subgroups generated by the ele ments of g.
