The group
is the unique group of group order 2.
is both Abelian and cyclic. Examples include the point
groups
,
, and
, the integers modulo 2 under addition (
), and the modulo
multiplication groups
,
, and
(which are the only modulo multiplication groups isomorphic
to
).
The group
is also trivially simple, and forms the subject for
the humorous a capella song "Finite Simple Group (of Order 2)" by the Northwestern
University mathematics department a capella group "The Klein Four."
The cycle graph is shown above, and the cycle index is

are the trivial group
and entire group
, both of which are trivially normal.
The irreducible representation for the group is
