Abelian Groups#

Definition: Abelian Group

A group \((G, \cdot)\) is called abelian, if its operation is commutative:

\[ a \cdot b = b \cdot a \qquad \forall a,b \in G \]

Theorem: Criterion for Abelian Groups

Let \((G, \cdot)\) be a group.

If \(g^2 = 1\) for all \(g \in G\), then \((G, \cdot)\) is abelian.

Proof
