(Abstract Algebra) Please answer a-d clearly. Show your work and explain your answer. (a) Let G be a group of order 4 with identity e. Show that G is either cyclic or a2-e for all (b) Does the result of part (a) generalize to groups of order p2 for any positive integer p? In other words, is it the case that if G is a group of order p2 with identity e, then is either cyclic or a- e for...
2.1.3. Prove the following refinement of the uniqueness of the identity in a group: Let G be a group with identity element e, and let e', g E G. Suppose e' and g are elements of G. If e'g says that if a group element acts like the identity when multiplied by one element on one side, then it is the identity.) -g, then e, e. (This result
Theorem 7.5 Let G be a group. (1) G has a unique identity element (2) Cancellation Laws. For all a, b,ce G, if ab ac, then b-c. For all a, b,c E G, if ba-ca, then (3) Each element of G has a unique inverse: For each a E G, there exists a unique element d e G such that ad-e and da e . Prove that each element of a finite group G appears exactly once in each row...
3. Let M be a manifold and let G C Homeo(M) be a group acting on M. Suppose that this group action is properly discontinuous and free prove that the quotient space M/G is a manifold. For this problem properly discontinuous means that if K c M is compact then the set {ge G | g(K) n/Kメ0) is finite) and free means the only element of g that fixes any point of M is the identity. 3. Let M be...
Problem 4. Let G be a group. Recall that the order of an element g G is the smallest k such that gk = 1 (or 00, if such a k doesn't exist). (a) Find the order of each element of the symmetric group S (b) Let σ-(135)(24) and τ-(15)(23)(4) be permutations in S5. Find the cycle decompositions for (c) Let σ-(123456789). Compute ơ-i, σ3, σ-50, and σί006 (d) Find all numbers n such that Ss contains an element of...
Let G be a group of order 6 and let X be the set (a, b,c) E G3: abc That is, X is the set of triples of elements of G with the product of its coordinates equals the identity element of G (a) How many elements does X have? Hint: Every triple (a, b, c) in X is completely determined by the choice of a and b. Because once you choose a and b then c must be (ab)-1...
4. An element a in a ring R is called nilpotent if there exists a non-negative integer n such that a" = OR (a) Let a and m > O be integers such that if any prime integer p divides m then pſa. Prove that a is nilpotent in Zm. (b) Let N be the collection of all nilpotent elements of a ring R. Prove that N is an ideal of R. (c) Prove that the only nilpotent element in...
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?
