Download or read book Quipu: Decorated Permutation Representations Of Finite Groups written by Yongju Bae and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-06-27 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies dihedral groups, dicyclic groups, other finite subgroups of the 3-dimensional sphere, and the 2-fold extensions of the symmetric group on 4 letters from the point of view of decorated string diagrams of permutations. These are our metaphorical quipu. As you might expect, the book is replete with illustrations. In (almost) all cases, explicit diagrams for the elements of the group are given. The exception is the binary icosahedral group in which only the generators and relations are exhibited.
