Properties of Inverses
- If an element
has both a left inverse
and a right inverse
, i.e., if
and
, then
,
is inveritble,
is its inverse
- If
is invertible, its inverse is unique
- Inverses multiply in the opposite order. If
and
are invertible, so is the product
, and
.
- An element
may have a left inverse or a right inverse, though it is not invertible.
Group
A group
is a set with a law of composition which is
(1) associative
(2) has an identity element
(3) every element is invertible

(1) associative
(2) has an identity element
(3) every element is invertible
Cancellation Law
Let
be elements of a group
whose law of composition is written multiplicatively. If
or if
then
. If
or if
, then b = 1.







Symmetric Group
The group of permutations of the set of indices
is called the symmetric group and is denoted by
.


Generators





Subgroups of 

Let
be a subgroup of the additive identity
. Either
is the trivial subgroup
, or else it has the form:

where
is the smallest positive integer in
.





where


Division Algorithm
For any integer
and positive integer
, there are integers
and
s.t.
and 







Let
and
be integers, not both zero, and let
be their greatest common divisor, the positive integer that generates the subgroup
, i.e.
. Then





-
divides
and
.
- If an integer
divides both
and
, it also divides
- There are integers
and
such that
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
If
is a prime integer and divides
, then
divides
or
divides
.






Least Common Multiple
If
and
, where
, then
is the least common multiple of
such that





-
and
divide
- If
divide
, then
divide
-
Properties of Cyclic Subgroups
Let
be the cyclic subgroup of
generated by
and let set
. Then




-
-
- Suppose
. Then
for some
and
are distinct elements of
.
Homomorphisms
Let
be two groups and
a map of the underlying sets. Then
is a homomorphism if





Properties of Group Homomorphisms
Let
be a group homomorphism. Then

- If
are elements of
, then
-
-
Composition of homomorphisms
If
and
are group homomorphisms, then
is a group homomorphism.



Permutation Matricies
Let
,
be the standard basis vectors for
. Then the map from
to its permutation matrix is a homomorphism defined as








Sign Homomorphism
Let
the permutation matrix homomorphism. Then
is the sign homomorphism.


- The image of the sign =
- The kernel of the sign is called the alternating group
Property (2) of the Kernel
The kernel of a homomorphism is a normal subgroup
Also, every normal subgroup is the kernel of some homomorphism
Also, every normal subgroup is the kernel of some homomorphism
Inverse of Isomorphism
If
is an isomorphism, then the inverse map
is also an isomorphism


Partition
A partition
of a set
is a subdivision of
into nonoverlapping, nonempty subsets:
union of disjoint nonempty subsets




Equivalence Relation
A relation that holds between certain pairs of elements of
. We may write it as
. An equivalence relation is required to be:


- Transitive: If
and
, then
- Symmetric: If
then
- Reflexive: For all
,
Equivalence Relation and Partition
An equivalence relation on a set
determines a partition of
, and conversely.


Equivalence Classes
Given an equivalence relation on a set
, the subsets of
that are equivalence classes partition 



Coset Partitions
The left Cosets of a subgroup
partition
. Similarly for right Cosets
