I've also seen the dot notation to describe operations in a group, but I've rarely seen the actual term multiplication.
I'm referring to the notation, which somehow determines how how one thinks about the operation.
Note however that here you also have the "scalar multiplication", so if you use this term, addition would be the appropriate for the group operation.
Sure. If one chooses to use multiplicative notation for the group operation, this operation would be called an exponentiation, not a multiplication.
