    Derived subgroup proofs

    Let G' be the derived subgroup. Prove: a) If G' is a subgroup of H and H is a subgroup of G, show that H is normal in G; b) If K is a normal subgroup of G, then K' is a normal subgroup of G c) Suppose f:G --> H is an epimorphism, with ker(f)=K, then H is abelian iff G' is a subgroup of K. I need a detailed proof of t

    Subgroup proofs

    Let G be a group, not necessarily finite, and let H be subgroup G. (a) Prove that U = intersection of all x in G xHx^-1 is the largest normal subgroup of G contained in H. (b) Show that no proper subgroup H of A_5 contains six distinct Sylow 5-subgroups. I need a detailed rigorous proof of this to study please.

    Providing subgroup proof

    If |G|=p^n, where p is a prime, show that G has subgroups G_0, G_1, . . ., G_n with 1= G_0 <= G_1 <= . . . <= G_n =G such that [G_i : G_{i-1}] = p, 1 <= i <= n. I need a rigorous, detailed proof of this to study please.

    Subgroup proof

    Let A and B be finite subgroups of G. Even though AB need not be a subgroup of G, show that |AB||A n B| = |A||B|. (Hint: Define (a_1,b_1)~(a_2,b_2) iff a_1b_1 = a_2b_2. Prove that ~ is an equivalence relation and examine the equivalence classes.) I need a detailed and rigorous proof to study for a test p

    Math help ... (Please see the attached file)

    Hi, I need help with this assignment. I will be using this to check my work, so it very important that all work is shown so that I have a clear idea of how each problem is done. I am only interested in the completed assignment- not just some of it. Thank you very much for your help! :) (Please see the attached file) Instruct

    Proof regarding direct sum of 2 copies of (Q,+)

    Use the fact that any finitely generated subgroup of (Q,+), (the rationals under addition), is cyclic to show that (Q,+)+(Q,+), (the direct sum of two copies of (Q,+)), is not isomorphic to (Q,+). The first part of this was showing that any finitely generated subgroup of (Q,+) is cyclic and I understand that part and really had
