Let G be a group of order p am where p is a prime not dividing m. Show the following 1. Sylow p-subgroups of G exist; i.e. Sylp(G) 6= ∅. 2. If P ∈ Sylp(G) and Q is any p-subgroup of G, then there exists g ∈ G such that Q 6 gP g−1 ; i.e. Q is contained in some conjugate of P. In particular, any two Sylow p- subgroups of G are conjugate in G. 3. np ≡...

Let p be an odd prime (i.e., any prime other than 2). Form two vector spaces V1, V2 over Fp (prime field of order p) with bases corresponding to the edges and faces of an icosahedron (so that V1 has dimension 30 and V2 has dimension 20). Let T : V1 → V2 be the linear transformation defined as follows: given a vector v ∈ V1, T(v) is the vector in V2 whose component corresponding to a given face is...

Let gcd(a, p) = 1 with p a prime. Show that if a has at least one square root, then a has exactly 2 roots. [hint: look at generators or use x^2 = y^2 (mod p) and use the fact that ab = 0 (mod p) the one of a or b must be 0(why?) ]

Throughout this question, let G be a finite group, let p be a prime, and suppose that H ≤ G is such that [G : H] = p. Let G act on the set of left cosets of H in G by left multiplication (i.e., g · aH = (ga)H). Let K be the set of elements of G that fix every coset under this action; that is, K = {g ∈ G : (∀a ∈ G) g · aH...
