About geometric representations of the cyclic groups
The notion of the geometrical graph of a finite group as a complete non-oriented graph on the unit sphere in a Euclidean space of smallest dimension is introduced. The Euclidean distances between vertices of the geometrical graph are defined uniquely by the Caley table of the group. The geometrical graphs and their linear representations for the groups \(C_p\) and \(C_{2p},\) where \(p\) is an odd prime, are investigated. It is proved that the geometrical graph of the cyclic group \(C_p\) for a simple \(p\) is a \(p\)-simplex in \({\mathbb{R}}^{p-1}\). It follows that the geometrical graph of the cyclic group \(C_{2p}\) for a simple \(p\) is the union of two centrally symmetrical \(p\)-simplices in \({\mathbb{R}}^{p-1}\). The above results can be applied to different problems of mathematics.
