Let G be a group and let p be a prime number such that pg = 0 for every element g ∈ G.

a.      If G is commutative under multiplication, show that the mapping

f : G → G

f(x) = xp

is a homomorphism

b.     If G is an Abelian group under addition, show that the mapping

f : G → G

f(x) = xpis a homomorphism.

Let p be an prime. Use the action of G = GL2(Z/pZ) on (Z/pZ)2 and the orbit-stabilizer theorem to compute the order of G (Given an element x ∈ X, the orbit O(x) of x is the subsetO(x)={g·x: g∈G}⊂X. Here, we write g · x for ρ(g)(x). The stabilizer of x ∈ X is the subset Gx ={g∈G: g·x=x}⊂G. This is a subgroup of G, and the orbit-stabilizer theorem says (in a particular form) that if G is a finite...
