I'm having trouble grasping the concept of centralizers and generators. Is there any way to visualize these groups?
Edit:
For example, the centralizer of S in G (S is a subgp of G) is given by
Z(S) ={g ε G : gh = hg for all h ε G}
Does that just mean it is like the biggest abelian subgroup of G?
I'm pretty unclear on the concept of generator, and the notation use.
