Problem 4. Let G be a group. Recall that the order of an element g G...
Let G be a group of order 16, such that each element can be written (uniquely) in the form rasb, where a є {0, ,7} and b є {0,1). The elements r and s satisfy the relations: r"=1; s2 = 1; sr=r38. (The final relation means that an s can be moved past an r if we raise the r to the third power.) Let H = {1,s). Let . : G × G/H → G/H be the usual action...
2. Let G {g, g. . . , gn-le} be a cyclic group of order n, H a group, and h є H. Define a function φ : G → H by φ(gi-hi for all 0 < i n-1. Show that φ is a group homomor- phism if and only if o(h) divides o(g). Warning: mind your modular arithmetic! [10]
Always give rigorous arguments I. (A) Let G be a group under * and let g E G with o(g) = n (finite) (i) Show that g can never go back to any previous positive power of g* (1k< n) when taking up to the nth power (cf. g), e., that there are no integers k and m such that 1< k<m<n and such that g*-gm (ii) How many elements of the set (e, g,g2.... .g"-) are actually distinct? (iii)...

3. a. Let H be a subgroup of a commutative group G. If every element h ∈ H is a square in H (i.e., h = k 2 for some k ∈ H), and every element of G/H is a square in G/H, then every element of G is a square in G. b.
