    then why do we claim 1 is a generator of Z as 1 only generates half of the Z set and by the definition of a generator 1 was supposed to be generating the whole Z set, isn't it?

    eduncle-logo-app

    Generators of Z are 1 and -1 . ( not only 1)

    eduncle-logo-app

    what is the definition of a generator?

    eduncle-logo-app

    check

    eduncle-logo-app

    each elements of group can written as some integral power of a then a is generator of G

    eduncle-logo-app

    abhi bhi -ve integers generate nahi ho rahe

    eduncle-logo-app

    Negative no. will be generated by ' -1 ' and +ve will be generated by ' 1' . Therefore generators of Z are {-1,1} .

    eduncle-logo-app

    but that is not the definition of a generator

    eduncle-logo-app

    how ?

    eduncle-logo-app

    the generator is supposed to generate all the elements of a group.

    eduncle-logo-app

    its not necessary that generator is unique . In case of Z there are two generators.

    eduncle-logo-app

    doubt

    eduncle-logo-app

    ??

    eduncle-logo-app

    your +ve one is correct and -ve one will be in this way

    eduncle-logo-app

    Read Dummit . It will clarify your doubt .

    eduncle-logo-app

    this book is not available in my library kindly send me the bookish definition of the generator if possible for you because now I am confused with the generator definition.

    eduncle-logo-app

    a generating set of a group is a subset of the group set such that every element of the group can be expressed as a combination (under the group operation) of finitely many elements of the subset and their inverses.
