- 45. Let . Prove or disprove that is a group with respect to the operation of intersection. (Sec. )arrow_forwardTrue or False Label each of the following statements as either true or false. The kernel of a homomorphism is never empty.arrow_forwardLet A={ a,b,c }. Prove or disprove that P(A) is a group with respect to the operation of union. (Sec. 1.1,7c)arrow_forward
- 9. Find all homomorphic images of the octic group.arrow_forwardTrue or False Label each of the following statements as either true or false. 4. Any automorphism is an isomorphism.arrow_forwardFor each a in the group G, define a mapping ta:GG by ta(x)=axa1. Prove that ta is an automorphism of G. Sec. 4.6,32 Let a be a fixed element of the group G. According to Exercise 20 of Section 3.5, the mapping ta:GG defined by ta(x)=axa1 is an automorphism of G. Each of these automorphisms ta is called an inner automorphism of G. Prove that the set Inn(G)=taaG forms a normal subgroup of the group of all automorphisms of G.arrow_forward
- Prove statement d of Theorem 3.9: If G is abelian, (xy)n=xnyn for all integers n.arrow_forwardLet G be a group. Prove that the relation R on G, defined by xRy if and only if there exist an aG such that y=a1xa, is an equivalence relation. Let xG. Find [ x ], the equivalence class containing x, if G is abelian. (Sec 3.3,23) Sec. 3.3, #23: 23. Let R be the equivalence relation on G defined by xRy if and only if there exists an element a in G such that y=a1xa. If x(G), find [ x ], the equivalence class containing x.arrow_forwardLabel each of the following statements as either true or false. Two groups can be isomorphic even though their group operations are different.arrow_forward
- Prove that Ca=Ca1, where Ca is the centralizer of a in the group G.arrow_forward[Type here] Examples 5 and 6 of Section 5.1 showed that is a commutative ring with unity. In Exercises 4 and 5, let . 4. Is an integral domain? If not, find all zero divisors in . [Type here]arrow_forwardComplete the proof of Theorem 5.30 by providing the following statements, where and are arbitrary elements of and ordered integral domain. If and, then. One and only one of the following statements is true: . Theorem 5.30 Properties of Suppose that is an ordered integral domain. The relation has the following properties, whereand are arbitrary elements of. If then. If and then. If and then. One and only one of the following statements is true: .arrow_forward
