Let G be an abelian group and n a fixed positive integer. Prove
that the following sets are subgroups of G.
(a) P(G, n) = {gn | g ∈ G}.
(b) T(G, n) = {g ∈ G | gn = 1}.
(c) Compute P(G, 2) and T(G, 2) if G = C8 ×
C2.
(d) Prove that T(G, 2) is not a subgroup of G = Dn
for n ≥ 3 (i.e the statement above is false when G is...
(a) Let G be a finite abelian group and p prime with p | | G |.
Show that there is only one p - Sylow subgroup of G. b) Find all p
- Sylow subgroups of (Z2500, +)
Let (G,+) be an abelian group and U a subgroup of G. Prove that
G is the direct product of U and V (where V a subgroup of G) if
only if there is a homomorphism f : G → U with f|U =
IdU
Theorem 2.1. Cauchy’s Theorem: Abelian Case: Let G be a finite
abelian group and p be a prime such that p divides the order of G
then G has an element of order p.
Problem 2.1. Prove this theorem.
Let a be an element of a finite group G. The order of a is the
least power k such that ak = e.

a. (1 2 3 )
b. (1 3 2 4)
c. (2 3) (1 4)
d. (1 2) (3 5 4)
Prove that an abelian group G of order 2000 is the direct
product PxQ where P is the Sylow-2 subgroup of G, and Q the Sylow-5
subgroup of G. (So order of P=16 and order or Q=125).
