Elements Of Modern Algebra
- Use mathematical induction to prove that if a is an element of a group G, then (a1)n=(an)1 for every positive integer n.arrow_forwardUse mathematical induction to prove that if a1,a2,...,an are elements of a group G, then (a1a2...an)1=an1an11...a21a11. (This is the general form of the reverse order law for inverses.)arrow_forwardSuppose ab=ca implies b=c for all elements a,b, and c in a group G. Prove that G is abelian.arrow_forward
- If p1,p2,...,pr are distinct primes, prove that any two abelian groups that have order n=p1p2...pr are isomorphic.arrow_forwardTrue or False Label each of the following statements as either true or false. 7. If there exists an such that , where is an element of a group , then .arrow_forwardProve that Ca=Ca1, where Ca is the centralizer of a in the group G.arrow_forward
- If a is an element of order m in a group G and ak=e, prove that m divides k.arrow_forwardTrue or False Label each of the following statements as either true or false. 6. The set of all nonzero elements in is an abelian group with respect to multiplication.arrow_forwardExercises 11. According to Exercise of section, if is prime, the nonzero elements of form a group with respect to multiplication. For each of the following values of , show that this group is cyclic. (Sec. ) a. b. c. d. e. f. 33. a. Let . Show that is a group with respect to multiplication in if and only if is a prime. State the order of . This group is called the group of units in and designated by . b. Construct a multiplication table for the group of all nonzero elements in , and identify the inverse of each element.arrow_forward
- Exercises 30. For an arbitrary positive integer, prove that any two cyclic groups of order are isomorphic.arrow_forwardExercises 27. Consider the additive groups , , and . Prove that is isomorphic to .arrow_forwardTrue or False Label each of the following statements as either true or false. 3. Every abelian group is cyclic.arrow_forward
