| Thm. 7.2 | |
| Example 6, p.144 | |
| Corollary: if $p$ is the smallest prime divisor of $|G|$ and $p^2$ does not divide $|G|$, then $G$ has at most one subgroup of index $p$ (HW) | |
| 10/05/2018 | Thm. 7.3 |
| Week 8 | Topics |
|---|---|
| 10/08/2018 | Test 1 returned and reviewed |
| Prop: if $\varphi:G\to H$ is an isomorphism, then so is $\varphi^{-1}H\to G$. | |
| Prop: “isomorphic to” is an equivalence relation | |
| Thm. 6.1 Cayley's theorem | |
| $\aut(G)$, $\inn(G)$ | |
| 10/09/2018 | Thm 6.4 $\aut(G)$ is a group and $\inn(G)$ is a subgroup of $\aut(G)$ |
| Example: $\inn(D_4) \isom K_4$ | |
| Prop: Let $G = <a>$ cyclic and $H$ a group | |
| 1. A homom $\varphi:G\to H$ is uniquely determined by $\varphi(a)$. | |
| 2. If $G$ has order $n$ and $u\in H$ has order $d$ where $d|n$, then there is (unique) homomorphism $\varphi:G\to H$ s.t. $\varphi(a)=u$. Moreover, $\varphi$ is injective iff $d=n$. | |
| 3. If $G$ has infinite order and $u\in H$, then there is (unique) homomorphism $\varphi:G\to H$ s.t. $\varphi(a)=u$. Moreover, $\varphi$ is injective iff $u$ has infinite order. | |
| Example: $\aut(\Z_n) \isom U_n$ | |

| (ii) $gNg^{-1} = N$ for all $g\in G$ | |
| (iii) $gN = Ng$ for all $g\in G$ | |
| (iv) the product of any two left cosets is a left coset. | |
| Moreover, in the last one, we have $(gN)(hN) = ghN$ | |
| Def: normal subgroup | |
| Examples: 1. $A_n \normaleq S_n$ | |
| $<R_{360/n}> \normaleq D_n$ | |
| Prop: if $H$ is a subgroup of $G$ of index 2, then $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ | |
| 2. Prop: if $\varphi:G\to \bar{G}$ is a homomorphism, then $ker(\varphi)$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ | |
| 3. If $G$ is abelian, then every subgroup of $G$ is normal | |
| 4. $Z(G)$ is a normal subgroup of $G$. | |
| 5. $G$ and $\{1\}$ are normal subgroups of $G$. | |

| Thm (N/C theorem) Let $H \leq G$. $N_G(H) / C_G(H)$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $\aut(H)$. | |

| 10/19/2018 | Thm 10.4 $N\normaleq G$, $q:G \to G/N$ is an epimorphism with $ker(q)=N$ |
| Chapter 8 Direct Product | |
| Def: $G_1 \oplus G_2$ | |
| Prop: 1) $G_1 \oplus G_2$ is a group. | |
| 2) If $G_1$, $G_2$ are abelian then so is $G_1 \oplus G_2$. | |
| Examples: (1) $\Z_2 \oplus \Z_3$ is abelian of order 6, so it is isomorphic to $\Z_6$ | |
| (2) $G \oplus \{1\} \isom G \isom \{1\}\oplus G$ | |
| Cor: $G_1 \oplus G_2$ contains subgroups isomorphic to $G_1$ and $G_2$ respectively. | |
| Def: $G_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus G_n$ | |
| Thm 8.1 |
| Week 10 | Topics |
|---|---|

| 10/23/2018 | RSA cryptography. Public vs private keys |
| Prop: $m^{ed}\equiv m \pmod n$. | |
| Internal direct product | |
| Thm.: Let $H,K\leq G$ be such that $HK=G$ and $H\intersection K=\{1\}$. Then $G\isom H\oplus K$. | |
| Def: When $H,K\leq G$ are such that $HK=G$ and $H\intersection K=\{1\}$, we say that $G$ is the internal direct product of $H$ and $K$, and write $G=H\times K$. | |
| Example: Consider $D_n$ with $n=2m$ and $m$ odd. | |
| Thm. 9.7 and corollary | |
| Prop: Let $H,N\leq G$. | |
| (1) If $N\normaleq G$ then $HN\leq G$. | |
| (2) If $H,N\normaleq G$ then $HN\normaleq G$ | |

| 10/30/2018 | Ch.24 Def: conjugate, conjugate class $\cl(a)$. |
| Prop: (1) “conjugate to” is an equivalence relation. The equivalence classes are the conjugacy classes. | |

| Def: Finite $p$-group. Metabelian group. | |
| Cor. Let $p$ be a prime. If $|G|=p^2$, then $G$ is abelian. | |
| Cor. Let $p$ be a prime. If $|G|=p^3$, then $G$ is metabelian. Moreover, $|Z(G)|=p$ or $|Z(G)|=p^3$. | |
| Example: Heisenber group $H$ has order $p^3$, and is not abelian. | |
| 10/31/2018 | Thm. 24.3 Sylow's 1st Theorem |
| Cor. Cauchy's theorem | |
| Cor. If $|G|=pq$ where $p<q$ are primes and $p\not\mid (q-1)$, then $G$ is cyclic. | |
| Lemma 1. (1) Let $H\leq G$ and $C=\{gHg^{-1}\mid g\in G\}$ the set of all conjugates of $H$. Then $|C|=[G:N_G(H)]$. | |
| Definition of Sylow $p$-subgroup. | |
| (2) Let $H,K\leq G$. If $HK=KH$ then $HK\leq G$. | |
| Lemma 2. Let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup $G$. If $g\in N_G(P)$ and $|g|$ is a power of $p$, then $g\in P$. | |
| Lemma 3. Let $|G|=p^km$ and $p\not\mid m$. Let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$, i.e. $|P|=p^k$, and $H\leq G$ with $|H|=p^l$ for some $l\leq k$. Then there is a conjugate of $P$ that contains $H$, i.e. there is $g\in G$ such that $H\leq gPg^{-1}$. | |
