Binary Operations : Monoids

Let S be a set with an associative binary operation but with no identity. Choose an element 1 not belonging to S, write M = {1} or S, and define an operation on M by using the operation of S and 1s=s=s1 for all s belonging to S. Show that M is a monoid.

Permutations : Parity

Show that $ and %$%^-1 have the same parity for all % and $ in Sn. (Sn is the symmetric group of degree n)

Permutations : Disjoint Transpositions

If $ belongs to Sn (where Sn is the symmetric group of degree n), show that $^2 = % if and only if $ is a product of disjoint transpositions.

Permutations

Define the sign of a permutation $ to be: sgn $ = 1 if $ is even. -1 if $ is odd. Prove that sgn($%) = sgn$sgn% for all $ and % in Sn.

integral domains and fields

Please if you are going to solve this problem please be very accurate!! (and careful!!). I have used brainmass before and have recieved incorrect answers on mulitple occations (answers that initially seemed correct) and it has hindered my studying. I have decided to give it another chance. With that said, thank you very much for ...continues
