試題 :
(1) (10 points) (The Third Isomorphism Theorem) Let G be a group and let H and K normal subgroups of G with H ≦ K. Prove that (G/H)/(K/H) is isomorphic to G/K, assuming the First Isomorphism theorem.
(2) (10 points) Please classify all the groups with 4 elements. (Hint: Does the group contain an element of order 4?)
(3) (10 points) Let G be a group. Prove that N = <(x^-1)(y^-1)xy|x,yεG> is a normal subgroup of G and G/N is abelian.
(4) (10 points) Show that for any group G and any nonempty set A there is a bijection between the actions of G on A and the homomorphisms of G into Sym(A).
(5) (10 points) Consider the group action of S3 on S3 itself by left multiplication. Re-label the elements of S3 by {_1 = (1)(2)(3), _2 = (1 2)(3), _3 = (1)(2 3), _4 = (1 3)(2), _5 = (1 2 3), _6 = (1 3 2)}. Then the bijection in Problem (4) give us a corresponding homomorphism Ψ:G → Sym(A), where G = S3 and A = S3.
Please write down the images of _1,...,_6 under the homomorphism Ψ in the cycle decomposition form in Sym(A).
(6) (5 points) Let G be a group. Show that a subgroup H of G with |G : H| = 2 is normal.
(7) (5 points) Let ψ: G → H be a surjective group homomorphism and let N be a normal subgroup of G. Show that ψ(N) is a normal subgroup of H.
(8) (5 points) Please give 3 different expression for the generator set of hte permutation group Sn, such that the order of the generator set is at most n-1. (i.e. Give the expressions for a finite set A such that Sn = <A> and |A| is at most n-1.)
(9) (5 points) Show that S4 does not have a normal subgroup of order 8 or a normal subgroup of order 3.
(10) (10 points) Let Φ: G → H be a group homomorphism and let N be a normal subgroup of G. Define a map ψ:G/N → H by ψ(gN) = Φ(g). Show that ψ is a well-defined group homomorphism if and only if ker(Φ) contains N.
(11) (10 points) Let G acts on the set A. Show that if G acts transitively on A then the kernel of the action is given by ∩gεG gGg^-1 for any a ε A.
(12) (10 points) Apply the class equation to prove that if p is a prime and P is a group of prime power order p^α for some α ≧ 1, then P has a nontrivial center.
(13) (10 points) Let G be a finite group and let K and H be two normal subgroups of G such that G/H is isomorphic to K. Please show that if H and K are both simple, then G/K is isomorphic to H. (Recall that a group G is called simple if |G| ＞ 1 and the only normal subgroups of G are 1 and G.) (Hint: You could use the 2nd isomorphism theorem.)
Remark: There are 110 points totally.
