IsTrivial( G )
G
-
a group
A group G is said to be trivial if it consists of only an identity element, that is, it has order equal to 1.
The IsTrivial( G ) command attempts to determine whether the group G is trivial. It returns true if G is trivial and returns false otherwise. The command may raise an exception on (most) finitely presented groups.
with⁡GroupTheory:
G≔SmallGroup⁡1,1
G≔
IsTrivial⁡G
true
IsTrivial⁡SmallGroup⁡32,5
false
G≔a|a6=1
G≔⁢a⁢∣⁢a6⁢
IsTrivial⁡a,b|a2,b3,a·b5=1
IsTrivial⁡a,b|a2=b3,b2=a
The GroupTheory[IsTrivial] command was introduced in Maple 2019.
