- 5. For any subgroup of the group , let denote the product as defined in Definition 4.10. Prove that corollary 4.19:arrow_forwardLet G be an abelian group of order 2n, where n is odd. Use Lagranges Theorem to prove that G contains exactly one element of order 2.arrow_forwardLet G be an abelian group. For a fixed positive integer n, let Gn={ aGa=xnforsomexG }. Prove that Gn is a subgroup of G.arrow_forward
- 24. The center of a group is defined as Prove that is a normal subgroup of .arrow_forwardLet H be a torsion subgroup of an abelian group G. That is, H is the set of all elements of finite order in G. Prove that H is normal in G.arrow_forward44. Let be a subgroup of a group .For, define the relation by if and only if . Prove that is an equivalence relation on . Let . Find , the equivalence class containing .arrow_forward

Let be a homomorphism from the group to the group . Prove part a of Theorem : If denotes the identity in and denotes the identity in , then . Prove part b of Theorem : for all in .arrow_forwardConsider the additive group of real numbers. Prove or disprove that each of the following mappings : is an automorphism. Equality and addition are defined on in Exercise 52 of section 3.1. a. (x,y)=(y,x) b. (x,y)=(x,y) Sec. 3.1,52 Let G1 and G2 be groups with respect to addition. Define equality and addition in the Cartesian product by G1G2 (a,b)=(a,b) if and only if a=a and b=a (a,b)+(c,d)=(ac,bd) Where indicates the addition in G1 and indicates the addition in G2. Prove that G1G2 is a group with respect to addition. Prove that G1G2 is abelian if both G1 and G2 are abelian. For notational simplicity, write (a,b)+(c,d)=(a+c,b+d) As long as it is understood that the additions in G1 and G2 may not be the same binary operations.arrow_forward

Prove that if is a subgroup of that contains as a normal subgroup, thenarrow_forward4. Prove that the special linear group is a normal subgroup of the general linear group .arrow_forward32. Let be a fixed element of the group . According to Exercise 20 of section 3.5, the mapping defined by is an automorphism of . Each of these automorphism is called an inner automorphism of . Prove that the set forms a normal subgroup of the group of all automorphism of . Exercise 20 of Section 3.5 20. For each in the group , define a mapping by . Prove that is an automorphism of .arrow_forward
