Question 4
Given the group (G, *).
(a) Show that for nonempty HCG, then (H, *) ≤ (G, *) ⇒ a,b ≤H ⇒ a*b¯¹ € H.
(b) For some fixed element a € G, define the set C(a) = {x ≤ G : a* x = x * a} . Prove that
(C(a), *) ≤ (G, *).
(c) Define the set Z(G) = {x E G: a*x =x*a for every a € G}. Prove that (Z, *) ≤ (G, *).
[Here, the symbol ≤ means subgroup. You may suppress the operation * and use product
notation, i.e, write ab¯¹ to mean a * b−¹, etc.]
