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 G be a group with subgroups H and K. (a) Prove that H ∩ K must be a subgroup of G. (b) Give an example to show that H ∪ K is not necessarily a subgroup of G. Note: Your answer to part (a) should be a general proof that the set H ∩ K is closed under the operation of G, includes the identity element of G, and contains the inverse in G of each of its elements,...

Let G be a cyclic group; an element g ∈ G is called a generator of G if G<g>. Let φ : G → G be an endomorphism of G, and let g be a generator of G. Show that φ is an automorphism if and only if φ(g) is a generator of G. Use this to find Aut(Z).
