What is the meaning of $mathbb{Z}_{5}^{+}$ (and $mathbb{Z}_{5}^{*}$) in group theory?

$begingroup$


What does $mathbb{Z}_{5}^{+}$ mean? I know $mathbb{Z}_{5}$ represents the set of integers modulo 5. I would assume this would mean it is the set of integers modulo 5 under addition except that normally this is notated as $(mathbb{Z}_{5},+)$. I'm confused as to the meaning of this notation?



Edit:



Furthermore, what is the meaning of $mathbb{Z}_{5}^{*}$. The context I saw this in seems to imply this is a group but if it was the same thing as $(mathbb{Z}_{5},*)$ it couldn't be since $(mathbb{Z}_{5},*)$ lacks some inverses.

  • $begingroup$
    The asterick denotes the multiplicative group, not including elements without multiplicative inverses. In the case of $mathbb Z_5^*$ you need only subtract zero but in general $mathbb Z_n^*$ only contains integers relatively prime to $n$.

For $p$ prime, $mathbb Z_p^*$ is used to denote the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of $mathbb Z_p$.



On the other hand, $mathbb Z_n^×$ denotes the group of units modulo $n$, which has order $varphi (n) $, where $varphi$ is Euler's totient function.



For prime $p$, we have $varphi (p)=p-1$, and indeed $mathbb Z_p^*=mathbb Z_p^×$.

    $begingroup$

    The notation $mathbb{Z}_n^{times}$ is sometimes used to denote the group of units modulo $n$ with respect to multiplication, so I would presume that $mathbb{Z}_5^+$ denotes the additive group of integers modulo $5$, in order to contrast it with the multiplicative group.



    [For what it's worth, I'll point out that $mathbb{Z}_5^{times} cong mathbb{Z}_4^+$.]

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania.
