Definition. Let G be a group and let a € G. The centralizer of a is C(a) = {9 € G ag = ga}, i.e. it consists of all elements in G that commute with a. (18) (a) In the group Zui, find C(3). (b) Complete and prove the following: If G is an Abelian group and a EG, then C(a) = _. (c) Prove or disprove: In every group G, there exists a E G such that C(a) =...

. (15 points) Let G be a group and A be a nonempty subset of G. Consider the set Co(A) = {9 € G gag- = a for all a € A}. (a) Compute Cs, ({€, (123), (132)}), where e is the identity permutation. (b) Show that CG(A) is a subgroup of G. (c) Let H be a subgroup of G. Show that H is a subgroup of Ca(H) if and only if H is abelian.
[8 pts) Let G be a group and the center of G is defined as Z(G) = {x € G | xg = gx for all g € G}. In Homework 3, we have showed that the center Z(G) is a subgroup of G. Let H be a subgroup of G. Prove that the set HZ(G) = {hz|he H,2 E Z(G)} is a subgroup of G.
1. Let G - Z. Let H - {0,3,5,9) be a subgroup of (you do not need to prove this is a subgroup of G). Prove that G/l is a valid quotient group. Explain what the elements of G/H are and what the group operation is. 2. Let G be a group and H a normal subgroup in G. I E H for all IEG, then prove that G/H is abelian
Abstract algebra A. Assume G is an abelian group. Let n > 0 be an integer. Prove that f(x) = ?" is a homomorphism from Got G. B. Assume G is an abelian group. Prove that f(x) = 2-1 is a homomorphism from Got G. C. For the (non-abelian) group S3, is f(x) = --! a homomorphism? Why?
16. Let Z(G), the center of G, be the set of elements of G that commute with all elements of G. (a) Find the center of the quaternions, defined in Example 19.16. (b) Find the center of Z5. (c) Show that Z(G) is a subgroup of G. (d) If Z(G) G, what can you say about the group G? b 0 Example 19.16 d We now work inside M2(C), the ring of 2 x 2 matrices with complex entries. Consider...
2. Let G be an abelian group. Suppose that a and b are elements of G of finite order and that the order of a is relatively prime to the order of b. Prove that <a>n<b>= <1> and <a, b> = <ab> .
9) A group G is called solvable if there is a sequence of subgroups such that each quotient Gi/Gi-1 is abelian. Here Gi-1 Gi means Gi-1 is a normal subgroup of Gi. For example, any abelian group is solvable: If G s abelian, take Go f1), Gi- G. Then G1/Go G is abelian and hence G is solvable (a) Show that S3 is solvable Suggestion: Let Go- [l),Gı-(123)), and G2 -G. Here (123)) is the subgroup generated by the 3-cycle...
