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...

Let A be a finite set and let f be a surjection from A to itself. Show that f is an injection. Use Theorem 1, 2 and corollary 1. Theorem 1 : Let B be a finite set and let f be a function on B. Then f has a right inverse. In other words, there is a function g: A->B, where A=f[B], such that for each x in A, we have f(g(x)) = x. Theorem 2: A right inverse...

Let G be a non-trivial finite group, and let H < G be a proper subgroup. Let X be the set of conjugates of H, that is, X = {aHa^(−1) : a ∈ G}. Let G act on X by conjugation, i.e., g · (aHa^(−1) ) = (ga)H(ga)^(−1) . Prove that this action of G on X is transitive. Use the previous result to prove that G is not covered by the conjugates of H, i.e., G does not equal...

Let (G,·) be a finite group, and let S be a set with the same cardinality as G. Then there is a bijection μ:S→G . We can give a group structure to S by defining a binary operation *on S, as follows. For x,y∈ S, define x*y=z where z∈S such that μ(z) = g_{1}·g_{2}, where μ(x)=g_{1} and μ(y)=g_{2}. First prove that (S,*) is a group. Then, what can you say about the bijection μ?
