Answer #1

We are given index of H in G is n.

let X be set of all left H cosets of G.

i.e.

So, Order of

We have the group action of G on X as follows, for each

Now, We will show an homomorphism from

For each fixed , define

 such that for each x in G,



Claim : is homomorphism.

Let for any x and y in G, We have

Now, is normal subgroup of G but G is normal.

So, is trivial subgroup of G.

Hence by second isomorphism theorem, We have

This gives,

This gives can be embedded in

I hope it helps. Please feel free to revert back with further queries.

A subgroup H of a group G is called a normal subgroup if gH=Hg for all g ∈ G. Every Group contains at least two normal subgroups: the subgroup consisting of the identity element only {e}; and the entire group G. If G=S(n) show that A(n) (the subgroup of even permuations) is also a normal subgroup of G.

A group G is a simple group if the only normal subgroups of G are G...
A group G is a simple group if the only normal subgroups of G are G itself and {e}. In other words, G is simple if G has no non-trivial proper normal subgroups. Algebraists have proven (using more advanced techniques than ones we’ve discussed) that An is a simple group for n ≥ 5. Using this fact, prove that for n ≥ 5, An has no subgroup of order n!/4 . (This generalizes HW5,#3 as well as our counterexample from...

Let H be a subgroup of G, and N be the normalizer of H in G and C be the centralizer of H in G. Prove that C is normal in N and the group N/C is isomorphic to a subgroup of Aut(H).

3. a) Suppose that H is a proper subgroup of Z that contains 12, 30, and 54. What are the possibilities for what H could be?

Let G be a finite group, and suppose that H is normal subgroup of G. Show that, for every g ∈ G, the order of gH in G/H must divide the order of g in G. What is the order of the coset [4]42 + 〈[6]42〉 in Z42/〈[6]42〉? Find an example to show that the order of gH in G/H does not always determine the order of g in G. That is, find an example of a group G, and...
