Showing papers on "Hyperoctahedral group published in 1983"


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is proved that the group of permutations generated by the DES-like functions is exactly the alternating group of the set of binary n vectors.
Abstract: A set of transformations on binary vectors of length n is defined. These transformations are similar to those of the data encryption standard (DES) and therefore are called DES-like functions. It is proved that the group of permutations generated by the DES-like functions is exactly the alternating group of the set of binary n vectors.

TL;DR: In this article, the relations between the irreducible representations of the hyperoctahedral group in four dimensions and the low-dimensional representation of the orthogonal groups O(4) and SO(4).
Abstract: In this paper we describe the relations between the irreducible representations of the hyperoctahedral group in four dimensions and irreducible, low‐dimensional representations of the orthogonal groups O(4) and SO(4).

TL;DR: In this article, a simple symmetric set of non-isotropic lines is shown to be a simple automorphism group of a simple set of symmetric sets of vectors.
Abstract: Orthogonal groups are considered as automorphism groups of some symmetric sets of vectors. From this point of view, we can prove the well-known theorem of simplicity on orthogonal groups. (The cases for the other classical groups are given in [5].) The proof consists of two steps. The first step which will be given in 1 is to show that a transitive symmetric set of non-isotropic lines (of a certain type) is simple. After a short review on simple symmetric set is given, we will show the above fact. A point here is that it is so when dim V is 3. The second step is to show that the group of displacements of the simple symmetric set is a simple group, which will be given in 2. A useful supplement to the main theorem on simple symmetric sets will be found, and using it we can show the above fact when dim V>5.

TL;DR: The APL function REVERSE and a certain defined function generate a group of order four on permutation vectors, known as D4, the fourth dihedral group, and the resulting isomorphism maps GRADE-DOWN and its inverse to the ninety degree rotations.
Abstract: The APL function REVERSE and a certain defined function generate a group of order four on permutation vectors. The group is extended with the GRADE-UP function to produce GRADE-DOWN and the order eight group known as D4, the fourth dihedral group. The symmetries of a square are generated by REVERSE and TRANSPOSE on square matrices. The resulting isomorphism maps GRADE-DOWN and its inverse to the ninety degree rotations. APL's powerful formalism easily reveals the isomorphisms between the domains of algebra and geometry.
