AbelianGroup

AbelianGroup
represents the direct product of the cyclic groups of degrees .
  • AbelianGroup is represented by default as a permutation group on the points .

Direct product of any number of cyclic groups of any degrees:
For nonzero degrees, the order of AbelianGroup is the product of the :
A group AbelianGroup with p prime is called an elementary Abelian group. In such groups all nontrivial elements have order p:
The Cayley graph of the direct product of two cyclic groups resembles a torus:
