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...

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.

Let G be a group. Define Z(G) ={x∈G|xg=gx for all g∈G}, that is Z(G) is the set of elements commuting with all the elements of G. We call Z(G) the center of G. (In German, the word for center is Zentrum, hence the use of the “Z”.) (a) Show that Z(G) is a subgroup of G. (b) Show that Z(G) is an abelian group.
