The orbit of consists precisely of the ordered -tuples of distinct elements of :
It has size
The stabilizer consists of permutations fixing pointwise, while freely permuting the remaining letters:
Thus
verifying orbit-stabilizer.
For ,
The stabilizer contains the identity; if fix , then
so it is a subgroup.
The orbit-stabilizer theorem states
Define
The map is well defined and bijective: two elements give the same image exactly when they differ by an element of the stabilizer. Lagrange's theorem then proves the formula.
No. The alternating group has order twelve, and six is a proper divisor of twelve, but has no element of order six. Its nonidentity elements are eight 3-cycles of order three and three double transpositions of order two.
The order of an element is the least positive integer such that , and the order of a finite group is its number of elements.
Lagrange theorem states that if and is finite, then
Indeed, the left cosets of partition . Multiplication by a coset representative is a bijection from to each coset, so every coset has elements. Summing over the cosets proves the formula.
The cyclic subgroup has exactly elements when has order . Applying Lagrange to gives
For ,
Its antisymmetric part is
Also,
For example, , and the same componentwise calculation gives
A second-rank tensor is antisymmetric when
Under an orthogonal Cartesian coordinate change with matrix ,
Therefore
after relabelling the dummy indices. Hence the antisymmetric second-rank tensor property is independent of Cartesian coordinates.
In Einstein notation,
This is
Similarly,
after cyclically relabelling the first term and swapping two indices in the second. Hence
Such a group does exist. Take . Its center is trivial, so
has order six. Therefore
Suppose is generated by . Every element of can then be written with . Hence
Thus the cyclic quotient by the center condition forces to be abelian.
If , the quotient has prime order and is therefore cyclic. The result just proved would make abelian, so and the quotient would have order one, a contradiction. Therefore
Both divergences vanish, so . Faraday's and Ampere's curl equations respectively require
For positive constants these imply
The Poynting vector is
Only the two -faces of the box contribute to its outward flux. With ,
The electromagnetic energy inside the box is
and direct differentiation, using , gives
Thus
confirming the integral identity when .
The vector identity from Question 3 gives
Integrating over and applying the divergence theorem proves the Poynting theorem
For , one has , and therefore
Close the upper half-ellipsoid with its unit-disk base in the plane . By symmetry,
On the base, the outward normal is , so
The first two components integrate to zero over the disk, while the third integrates to . The closed-surface tensor identity therefore gives
Multiplying by ,
Fix the first index and form the vector field with components . The divergence theorem gives
Substitution yields the tensor divergence theorem
Set
The ellipsoid becomes the unit ball and the Jacobian determinant is . Therefore
