Conjugation (Group Theory)
Channel: Andrew Misseldine
Date: 2020-11-18

In this video, we introduce the notion of conjugation in groups, explain their connection to normal subgroups (that is, those subgroups closed under conjugation) and their broader importance to group theory. The Left and Right Conventions are introduced. The related notion of a commutator is also introduced.
