$\textit{ For the following groups,}$$(a)\quad \Bbb{Z}_6 \text{ the identity is } \color{red}{0}$
$(b)\quad |\Bbb{Z}_6|=\color{red}{6}$
$(c)\quad |0|=\color{red}{0}$
$(d)\quad |3| =\color{red}{|0,3|}$
$(e)\quad \text{the inverse of 2 is } \color{red}{4}$
$(f)\quad \text{the generator of this group is cyclic groups generated by } \color{red}{ 1}$
$(g)\quad \textit{Abelian/non-Abelian?} \quad \color{red}{Abelian}$
$(h)\quad Z_6 \text{ has $\color{red}{4 }$ subgroups.}$Sorta?

A couple of mistakes.

$\color{black}(c)\quad |0|=\color{red}1$
$\color{black}(d)\quad \color{red}\langle\color{black}3\color{red}\rangle\color{black}=\color{red}\{0,3\}$
 
I tried to check these with W|A but didn't know the input format?

like the next one U(14)

W|A seems to understand:
  • 'finite group Z_6'. Note that If we type just 'Z_6' it shows an option to select 'finite group'.
  • 'finite group of order 6'. Note that U(14) has order 6. Moreover, it is isomorphic with $\mathbb Z_6$. Isomorphic means that all properties are the same except that the elements have different 'names'.
  • 'additive group of integers modulo 6'
  • 'multiplicative group of integers modulo 14'
Btw, U(14) is more commonly written as $\mathbb Z_{14}^\times$ or $\mathbb Z_{14}^\ast$. W|A does not seem to understand that either though.

The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
