Midterm 1
Problem 0
0.1:
A subgroup is a subset which is a group under the same operation. This could be
0.2
Problem 1
1.1
- Reflexive:
- This fails, as if we let x be 0 then
. Thus this is not an equivalence relation.
- This fails, as if we let x be 0 then
1.2
- Reflectivity:
, , . However we do not have it so so the first pair we need to add is
- Symmetry:
- however,
does not imply so this pair would also need to be added.
We could check transitivity, however we found all the needed pairs. So I would addand
Problem 2
2.1:
- Stack notation:
- we have that the permutation takes the following:
- 1 -> 4
- 2 -> 7
- 3 -> 2
- 4 -> 1
- 5 -> 3
- 6 -> 8
- 7 -> 5
- 8 -> 6
- The cyclic notion is:
- (14)(2753)(68)
- remember disjointed cycles commute
- (14)(2753)(68)
- Order: LCM(2,4,2)=4.
- (12345678)(87654321)
- also just any disjointed permutations, (1234)(5678) as
contains all elements from
- also just any disjointed permutations, (1234)(5678) as
- we have that the permutation takes the following:
2.2
- All subgroups if a cyclic subgroup are cyclic. So we are looking at :
, , , , , , , , , , , , , , - Now some of these subgroups are the same, note:
- I want to use the same logic as in All Ideals in integers mod n to state that it is devisiors and every group goes down to the gcd, so here we have:
. - Another way to think about this is the order of the subgroup must devide the parent group, which would make it only the following.
Problem 3
3.1
- Proof:
Assume: - Then notice:
In the other direction assume is in the Kernel. Then, - Specifically notice
- By performing
on the right we see that
- Given solution. Wrote it out because its kinda interesting:
3.2
Things needed for a group:
- Identity:
- Closure is met as you cannot go outside
by definition - Identity: Clearly, you can define an isomorphism
thus this works as the identity as its homomorphic and bijective. - Associativity: is met through the composition of functions, as composition of functions is associative.
- Inverse: By definition isomorphism are reversible, thus for any isomorphism
we can define its inverse as .
- Closure is met as you cannot go outside
3.3
means there are 2 cosets of in . - This means there are only two cosets that partition
, for and for the left and for the right cosets.
- as
commutes, we know . so it follows as this is the only other coset that can exist.
