THE SOLUTION OF FINAL OF ALGEBRA
1. (1) φ(f + g) =R1
0 (f + g)(x)dx =R1
0 [f (x) + g(x)]dx
=R1
0 f (x)dx +R1
0 g(x)dx = φ(f )+φ(g).
(2) the index of the subgroup hµiin S6 is 6!4 = 180.
2. (1) φ(10, 3) = φ(10(1, 0) + 3(0, 1)) = φ(1, 0)10· φ(0, 1)3
= [(1, 7)(6, 10, 8, 9)]2(3, 5)(2, 4) = (6, 8)(10, 9)(3, 5)(2, 4).
(2)
3. (1) Let φ : Z5 → Z be a nontrivial (group) homomorphism with φ(1) = a, a 6= 0, we have 5φ(1) = φ(5 · 1) = φ(0) = 0
⇒ φ(1) = a = 0
hence there is no nontrivial homomorphism.
(2) Let the order of ab is n ab · ab · · · ab = e
⇒ b · (ab · ab · · · ab) · a = bea = ba
⇒ (ba)n+1 = ba
⇒ (ba)n = e
the order of ba ≤ n. If the order of ba < n, then the order of ab < n.
That is contradiction. Hence the order of ab is equal to the order of ba.
4. (1) ∗ : G × X → X
∗(e, H) = eHe−1= H and ∀g1, g2 ∈ G
∗(g1g2H) = (g1g2)H(g1g2)−1 = g1g2Hg−12 g−11
= g1∗ (g2H)g−11 = ∗(g1∗ (g2H)) hence X is a G-set
(2) (⇒) LetO(H) = {H}
∀g ∈ G, ∀h ∈ H = O(H)
⇒ ghg−1 ∈ H
⇒ H is normal in G
(⇐) It’s clear that H ⊆ O(H)
∀g ∈ G, ∀h ∈ O(H) ⇒ ghg−1 ∈ H
⇒ h ∈ gHg−1 = H
⇒ O(H) = H
5. (1) The characteristic of M2(Zn) is n (2) 1 − 2a ∈ R
(1 − 2a)2 = 1 − 2a 1 − 4a + 4a2 = 1 − 2a
⇒ a = 0
1 − 2a=1, that is an unit of R
1
6. (1) Let H be the set of all idempotent elements of a commutative ring R
∀a, b ∈ H, a2 = a and b2 = b (ab)2 = a2b2 = ab
⇒ ab ∈ H
H is closed under multiplication.
(2) {(0, 1), (0, 3), (0, 4), (0, 0), (1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 0)}
7. (1) Let ϕ : D ⇒ Q(D) with ϕ(a) = (a, 1) then we can show that ϕ is an isomorphism (2) There is no zero in Z7
8. (1) N = {f (x) ∈ R[x] | f (2) = 0}
∀f (x), g(x) ∈ H, f (2) = g(2) = 0⇒ f (2) − g(2) = 0
⇒ f (x) − g(x) ∈ N
and ∀h(x) ∈ R[x], (h · f )(2) = h(2)f (2) = 0, (f · h)(2) = f (2)h(2) = 0
⇒ h(x)f (x) ∈ H, f (x)h(x) ∈ H, hence H is an ideal of R[x]
(2) Let N = hx − 2i
R[x]/hx − 2i = R is a field.
hence N is a maximal ideal of R[x]
9. (1) Let f (x) = xp + a ∈ Zp[x]
If a = 0 ⇒ f (x) = xp ⇒ f (0) = 0, then f (x) is reducible If a 6= 0 ⇒ f (−a) = (−a)p+ a = 0, then f (x) is reducible (∀a ∈ Zp, (−a)p−1= e ⇒ (−a)p = (−a) )
(2) ∀a, b ∈ R
φp(a + b) = (a + b)p = ap+ bp = φp(a) + φp(b) (the characteristic of R is p)
φp(ab) = (ab)p = 0 and φp(a)φp(b) = 0 · 0 = 0 hence φp(a) = ap is a (ring) homomorphism.
10. Let φm be the endomorphism of the abelian group such that φm(1) = m.
Then {φm | m ∈ Z} is the entire homomorphism ring.
Define ϕ : End(Z) → Z by ϕ(φm) = m Then we can show that ϕ is an isomorphism
