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
generate if every element in can be expressed as a combination of 's and 's using LoC.
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 is the smallest positive integer in .
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.
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
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
