Recall the group Hom(G, A) (especially the group Hom(G, C ∗ ) whose elements are called characters of G) and the group µn of n-th roots of unity.

(i) Let n be a positive integer, prove that Hom(Cn, C ∗ ) ∼= µn. Hints: let g be a generator of Cn. For every homomorphism α : Cn → C ∗ , prove that α(g) ∈ µn (i.e. α(g) is an n-th root of unity). Hence we have the map Hom(Cn, C ∗ ) → µn given by α 7→ α(g). Prove that this map is a group homomorphism and it is bijective.

(ii) Let G1 and G2 be groups, prove that Hom(G1 × G2, C ∗ ) ∼= Hom(G1, C ∗ ) × Hom(G2, C ∗ ).

Assume G is an Abelian group of order 144 and G contains at least 5 elements of order 72. (a) Determine the possible structures of G (i.e., write it as a direct product of cyclic groups). If there are more than one structures, list them all. (b) For each isomorphic class of G, how many elements of order 12 does it have?
