The Picture on the Presentation of Direct Product Group of Two Cyclic Groups.

A picture in a group presentation is a geometric configuration with an arrangement of discs and arcs within a boundary disc. The drawing of this picture does not have to follow a particular rule, only using the generator as discs and the relation as arcs. It will form a picture label pattern if drawn with a particular rule. This paper discusses the label pattern of a picture in the presentation of direct product groups. Direct product presentation is used with two cyclic groups, ℤ p and ℤ q where p , q ∈ ℤ + and p , q ≥ 2. The method for forming a picture label pattern is to arrange the first generator in the initial arrangement, compile a second generator, and add a number of commutators. Furthermore, the pattern is used to calculate the length of the label on the picture. It is obtained that the picture's label is a q − 1 b n a b q − n and the length of the label is p + 2 n − q , where n is the number of commutator discs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
