Study Notes
Groups, First Encounter
- Direct Products - combining two groups G and H to form a new group G × H
- Elements of G × H are ordered pairs (g, h) where g ∈ G and h ∈ H
- The operation in G × H is defined component-wise: (g₁, h₁) · (g₂, h₂) = (g₁ g₂, h₁ h₂)
- The identity element in G × H is (eG, eH) where eG is the identity in G, and eH is the identity in H
- The inverse of (g, h) is (g⁻¹, h⁻¹)
- Universal Property of Direct Products - for any group A and homomorphisms ϕG : A → G and ϕH : A → H, there's a unique homomorphism ϕG × ϕH making the following diagram commute:
- G
- ϕG
- πG
- ϕG × ϕH
- A
- πH
- ϕH
- H
- This means G × H is a product in Grp.
- G
- Projections - πG : G × H → G and πH : G × H → H are group homomorphisms, defined simply as set functions, and follow directly from the definitions.
- Coproducts in Groups - The text does not explicitly discuss coproducts in groups.
