Step 1
Given that is a finite subgroup of a group and suppose for some subset of
To prove that an element normalizes if and only if
Now, is a finite subgroup of a group generated by which is a subset of .
Therefore, can be written as where is an element of for k=1,2,3,...,n
Thus, is contained in i.e. .
Now, let us consider that an element normalizes
To prove that
Since normalizes , therefore, for all
Let be an arbitrary element. Since , therefore,
As y is chosen arbitrarily, for all , which implies
Trending now
