Given a group G with a subgroup H, define a binary relation on G by a ∼ b if and only if ba^(-1)∈ H.

(a) (5 points) Prove that ∼ is an equivalence relation.

(b) (5 points) For each a ∈ G denote by [a] the equivalence class of a and prove that [a] = Ha = {ha | h ∈ H}. A set of the form Ha, for some a ∈ G, is called a right coset of H in G.

(c) (5 points) Let a ∈ G. For all g ∈ G prove that Hg = Ha if and only if g ∈ Ha. Hint: two elements are equivalent if and only if their equivalence classes coincide.

(d) (5 points) Prove that the map ρa : H → Ha given by ρa(h) = ha, h ∈ H, is a bijection.

Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. Let a be an element of G and aH = {ah : h is an element of H} be a left coset of H. If b is an element of G as well and the intersection of aH bH is non-empty then aH and bH contain the same number of elements in G. Thus conclude that the number of elements in H, o(H), divides the number of elements...

4.- Show the solution: a.- Let G be a group, H a subgroup of G and a∈G. Prove that the coset aH has the same number of elements as H. b.- Prove that if G is a finite group and a∈G, then |a| divides |G|. Moreover, if |G| is prime then G is cyclic. c.- Prove that every group is isomorphic to a group of permutations. SUBJECT: Abstract Algebra (18,19,20)
