 +| |Thm 14.4  $R/I$ is a field iff $I$ is a maximal proper ideal.
 +| |Cor: Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity and $I\normaleq R$. If $I$ is maximal then it is prime.|

 +| |External and internal direct product of groups.|
 +| |Def: Internal semi direct product of groups. Given a group $G$, $N\normaleq G$, $H\leq G$ such that $N\intersection H=1$ and $NH=G$, we say that $G$ is the (internal) semi direct product of $N$ and $H$.|
 +| |Example: The dihedral group $D_n$ is the semi direct product of the subgroup of rotations $\pbr{R}$ and the subgroup $\pbr{F}$ generated by one reflection $F$.
 +|12/​05/​2018|Def:​ External semi direct product. Given two groups $N$ and $H$ and a homomorphism $\alpha:​H\to\aut(N)$,​ write $\alpha(h)$ as $\alpha_h$. Consider the cartesian product ​ $N\times H$ with the following operation: $$(n_1,​h_1)(n_2,​h_2)=(n_1\alpha_{h_1}(n_2),​h_1h_2)$$|
 +| |Thm: 1) The operation just defined makes $N\times H$ into a group. We denote it by $N\rtimes_\alpha H$.  We omit the subscript $\alpha$ is it is understood from the context.|
 +| |2) $\bar{N}=\{(n,​1)\mid n\in N\}$ is a normal subgroup of $N\rtimes_\alpha H$, isomorphic to $N$, via the map $$N\to N\rtimes_\alpha H\\ n\mapsto \bar{n}=(n,​1)$$.|
 +| |3) $\bar{H}=\{(1,​h)\mid h\in H\}$ is a subgroup of $N\rtimes_\alpha H$, isomorphic to $H$, via the map $$H\to N\rtimes_\alpha H\\ h\mapsto \bar{h}=(1,​h)$$.|
 +| |4) $\bar{N}\intersection \bar{H}=1$ and $\bar{N}\bar{H}=N\rtimes_\alpha H$.|
 +| |5) $N\rtimes_alpha H$ is the internal semi direct product of $\bar{N}$ and $\bar{H}$.|
 +| |6) Given $h\in H$ and $n\in N$, conjugation of $\bar{n}$ by $\bar{h}$ is given by $$\varphi_{\bar{h}}(\bar{n}) =\overline{\alpha_h(n)}.$$|
 +| |Cor: When $\alpha$ is the trivial homomorphism,​ i.e. $\alpha_h=1$ for all $h\in H$, then the semi direct product is equal to the direct product, $N\rtimes_\alpha H=N\oplus H$. |
 +| |Cor: The operation in $N\rtimes_\alpha H$ is completely determined by the operations in $N$ and $H$, and the relation $$\bar{h}\ \bar{n}=\overline{\alpha_h(n)}\ \bar{h}.$$|
 +| |Example: Let $N=\pbr{a}$ be cyclic of order $7$, and $H=\pbr{b}$ cyclic of order $3$. $\aut(N)\isom U_7$ is abelian of order $6$, hence cyclic. |
 +| |$s:N\to N, a\mapsto a^2$ is an automorphism of $N$ of order $3$ since $a^{2^3}=a^8=a$. |
 +| |$\aut(N)$ is generated by $c:N\to N, a\mapsto a^3$, and $s=c^2$, since $a^{3^2}=a^9=a^2$.|
 +| |Any homomorphism $\alpha:​H\to\aut(N)$ has to map $b$, which has order $3$, to an element of $\aut(N)$ of order a divisor of $3$.  The only such elements are $1$, $s$ and $s^{-1}=c^4=s^2$.|
 +|12/​07/​2018|Board presentation PS 12|
 +| |Continuation of example. There are three different semi direct product of $N$ and $H$, given by the three automorphisms $\alpha(b)=1$,​ $\beta(b)=s$,​ and $\gamma(b)=s^2$. Let's write down the three.|
 +| |Case 1: $\alpha(b)=1$ is trivial. In this case $N\rtimes_\alpha H = N\oplus H\isom C_{21}$.|
 +| |Case 2: $\beta(b)=s$. $$ba = \beta_b(a)b = s(a)b = a^2b$$|
 +| |so $N\rtimes_\beta H$ is not abelian, and not isomorphic to case 1.|
 +| |Case 3: To distinguish from case 2, let's write $N=\pbr{u}$ cyclic of order $7$, and $H=\pbr{v}$ cyclic of order $3$, $\gamma(v)=s^2$. $$vu = \gamma_v(u)v = s^2(u)v = u^4v$$|
 +| |Again $N\rtimes_\gamma H$ is not abelian, not isomorphic to case 1.|
 +| |Claim: $N\rtimes_\beta H$ is isomorphic to $N\rtimes_\gamma H$ via the map $a\mapsto u, b\mapsto v^{-1}$.|
 +| |Cor: there are only two non-isomorphic semi direct products of a cyclic group of order 7 and a cyclic group of order 3, namely, the direct product, and the non-abelian semi direct product of case 2.|
 +| |Example: Let $G$ be a group of order $21$.  By Sylow'​s theorem we have $n_7=1$. Let $N$ be the Sylow 7-subgroup of $G$.  We also know that $n_3$ is either 1 or 7.  Let $H$ be a Sylow 3-subgroup of $G$. When $n_3=1$ $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ and $G$ is the direct product of $N$ and $H$. When $n_3=7$, then $H$ is not normal, and $G$ is the non-abelian semi direct product of $N$ and $H$.|
 +| |Therefore, there are exactly two non-isomorphic groups of order 21. |
