Study Notes
One-to-one Functions and Isomorphisms
- If a function f is one-to-one, it means that each element in the domain maps to a unique element in the codomain. This implies that no two distinct elements in the domain map to the same element in the codomain.
Homomorphism Properties
- For any homomorphism f from G1 to G2, the identity elements e1 and e2 satisfy the equation f(e1) = e2. In other words, the identity element in G1 maps to the identity element in G2.
Bijections and Isomorphism
- If a function f from G1 to G2 is a bijection, it means that it is both one-to-one and onto. This implies that every element in G2 has a unique preimage in G1. A bijective homomorphism is an isomorphism.
- An isomorphism indicates that two groups have the same structure, even if they are composed of different elements.
Subgroups and Homomorphisms
- If H1 is a subgroup of G1 and f is a homomorphism, then H2 = f(H1) is a subgroup of G2. This means that the image of a subgroup under a homomorphism is also a subgroup.
Inverse of an Isomorphism
- The inverse of an isomorphism is also an isomorphism. This highlights the symmetry of the relationship between isomorphic groups.
Cyclic Groups
- A cyclic group is a group generated by a single element. This implies that all elements in the group can be expressed as powers of this generator.
Order and Generators of Cyclic Groups
- In a cyclic group, the order of an element is the number of times it must be multiplied by itself to get the identity element.
- An element is known as a generator of a cyclic group if its order is equal to the order of the group.
Isomorphism Definition
- An isomorphism is a bijective homomorphism between two groups that preserves the operation. This means that the operation in the first group is mapped to the same operation in the second group.
Homomorphism Properties
- Homomorphisms always map the identity element of the first group to the identity element of the second group.
Permutation Groups
- A permutation group is a group whose elements are permutations of a set. Each element in the group corresponds to a unique way of rearranging the elements of the set.
Generators in Infinite Cyclic Groups
- An infinite cyclic group has infinitely many generators. This is because any element that has infinite order can be used as a generator.
Isomorphism and Group Relationship
- Isomorphic groups have the same structure and are essentially identical, despite possibly containing different elements. They behave in the same way under their respective operations.
Example Isomorphisms
- Mappings that preserve the operation and are bijective can be demonstrated as isomorphisms.
Right Cosets
- The right coset of a subgroup H in G for an element a in G is defined by the set of all elements of the form ha, where h is an element of H.
Isomorphism and Group Structure
- An isomorphism preserves the structure of groups G1 and G2. This means that they have the same algebraic properties such as associativity, identity elements, and inverses.
Lagrange's Theorem and Subgroup Order
- According to Lagrange's Theorem, the order of a subgroup H of a group G is always a divisor of the order of the group G.
Homomorphism and Operation Preservation
- If f is a homomorphism from group G1 to group G2, then for any elements a in G1, f(a) corresponds to the image of a under the mapping f, and the operation in G2 is preserved.
Subgroup Images under Homomorphisms
- If H1 is a subgroup of G1 and H2 = f(H1) under a homomorphism f, then H2 is also a subgroup of G2.
Left Cosets
- The left coset of a subgroup H in G for an element a in G is defined by the set of all elements of the form ah, where h is an element of H.
Inverse Images under Isomorphisms
- Under an isomorphism f, the inverse image of an element in G2 is unique and corresponds to the preimage of that element in G1.
Isomorphism Property for Elements
- If f is an isomorphism between groups G1 and G2, then for all elements x, y in G2, f(x) * f(y) = f(x * y). This reflects the preservation of the group operation under the isomorphism.
