Prove the following theorem: Let φ: G→G′ be a group homomorphism, and let H=ker(φ). Let a∈G.Then the set

(φ)^{-1}[{φ(a)}] ={x∈G|φ(x)} =φ(a)

is the left coset aH of H, and is also the right coset Ha of H. Consequently, the two partitions of G into left cosets and into right cosets of H are the same

Let H be a subgroup of a group G. Let ∼H and ρH be the equivalence relation in G introduced in class given by x∼H y⇐⇒x−1y∈H, xρHy⇐⇒xy−1 ∈H. The equivalence classes are the left and the right cosets of H in G, respectively. Prove that the functionφ: G/∼H →G/ρH given by φ(xH) = Hx−1 is well-defined and bijective. This proves that the number of left and right cosets are equal.

Let G be a cyclic group, and H be any group. (i) Prove that any homomorphism ϕ : G → H is uniquely determined by where it maps a generator of G. In other words, if G = <x> and h ∈ H, then there is at most one homomorphism ϕ : G → H such that ϕ(x) = h. (ii) Why is there ‘at most one’? Give an example where no such homomorphism can exist.

Problem 8. Suppose that H has index 2 in G. Prove that H is normal in G. (Hint: Usually to prove that a subgroup is normal, the conjugation criterion (Theorem 17.4) is easier to use than the definition, but this problem is a rare exception. Since H has index 2 in G, there are only two left cosets, one of which is H itself – use this to describe the other coset. Then do the same for right 1 cosets....
