2.2.6. Let S be a subset of a group G, and let S^-1 denote {s^-1: s ∈ S}.
Show that 〈S^-1〉 = 〈S 〉. In particular, for a ∈ G, 〈a〉 = 〈a^-1〉, so also
o(a) =o(a^-1)

Let G be an abelian group and K is a subset of G. if K is a subgroup of G , show that G is finitely generated if and only if both K and G/K are finitely generated.

Let G be a group acting on a set S, and let H be a group...

Let G be a group acting on a set S, and let H be a group acting on a set T. The product group G × H acts on the disjoint union S ∪ T as follows. For all g ∈ G, h ∈ H, s ∈ S and t ∈ T, (g, h) · s = g · s, (g, h) · t = h · t. (a) Consider the groups G = C4, H = C5, each acting...

Problem 2. Let N denote the non-measurable subset of [0, 1], constructed in class and in the book "Real Analysis: Measure Theory, Integration, and Hilbert Spaces" by E. M. Stein, R. Shakarchi. (a) Prove that if E is a measurable subset of N , then m(E) = 0. (b) Assume that G is a subset of R with m∗(G) > 0, prove that there is a subset of G such that it is non-measurable. (c) Prove that if Nc =...

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?

Let Rx denote the group of nonzero real numbers under multiplication and let R+ denote the group of positive real numbers under multiplication. Let H be the subgroup {1, −1} of Rx. Prove that Rx ≈ R+ ⊕ H.

Let S denote the 10-element set {a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j}. How many ways can we construct a subset of S of size 7 ? 120 How many ways can we construct a subset of S of size 7 containing the element j? 84 How many ways can we construct a subset of S of size 7 containing i but not j ? 28 How many ways can we construct a subset of S of size 7 containing h but neither i nor j...

Let (F, <) be an ordered field, let S be a nonempty subset of F, let c ∈ F, and for purposes of this problem let cS = {cx | x ∈ S}. (Do not use this notation outside this problem without defining what you mean by the notation.) Assume that c > 0. (i) Show that an element b ∈ F is an upper bound for S if and only if cb is an upper bound for cS. (ii)...
