# Day 287: Week 41 Review — Abstract Group Theory Synthesis ## Overview **Month 11, Week 41, Day 7 — Sunday** Today we synthesize all the abstract group theory concepts from this week: groups, subgroups, cosets, Lagrange's theorem, homomorphisms, quotient groups, cyclic groups, and permutation groups. We'll work through comprehensive problems that integrate multiple concepts and solidify the connections to quantum mechanics. ## Week 41 Summary | Day | Topic | Key Concepts | |-----|-------|--------------| | 281 | Groups | Axioms, Cayley tables, examples | | 282 | Subgroups & Cosets | Lagrange's theorem, normal subgroups | | 283 | Homomorphisms | Kernel, image, isomorphism theorems | | 284 | Quotient Groups | $G/N$ construction, applications | | 285 | Cyclic & Abelian | Structure theorem, CRT | | 286 | Permutations | $S_n$, cycles, sign, $A_n$ | --- ## 1.

Essential Theorems Summary ### Lagrange's Theorem $$|H| \text{ divides } |G| \quad \text{for } H \leq G$$ **Corollaries:** - $|a|$ divides $|G|$ - $a^{|G|} = e$ - Groups of prime order are cyclic ### First Isomorphism Theorem $$G/\ker(\phi) \cong \text{Im}(\phi)$$ ### Structure Theorem (Abelian Groups) $$G \cong \mathbb{Z}^r \times \mathbb{Z}_{n_1} \times \cdots \times \mathbb{Z}_{n_k}$$ with $n_1 | n_2 | \cdots | n_k$. ### Chinese Remainder Theorem $$\mathbb{Z}_{mn} \cong \mathbb{Z}_m \times \mathbb{Z}_n \quad \text{when } \gcd(m,n) = 1$$ ### Cayley's Theorem Every group $G$ embeds in $S_{|G|}$. --- ## 3. Master Problem Set ### Part A: Fundamentals **Problem A1:** Classify all groups of order 15. *Solution:* $15 = 3 \times 5$. By Lagrange, element orders divide 15: 1, 3, 5, 15. **Claim:** There exists a unique group of order 15, namely $\mathbb{Z}_{15}$. *Proof:* Let $|G| = 15$. By Sylow theorems (preview): - Number of Sylow 3-subgroups $n_3 \equiv 1 \pmod{3}$ and $n_3 | 5$, so $n_3 = 1$. - Number of Sylow 5-subgroups $n_5 \equiv 1 \pmod{5}$ and $n_5 | 3$, so $n_5 = 1$. So $G$ has unique subgroups $H_3 \cong \mathbb{Z}_3$ and $H_5 \cong \mathbb{Z}_5$, both normal. $H_3 \cap H_5 = \{e\}$ (orders are coprime). $|H_3 H_5| = |H_3||H_5|/|H_3 \cap H_5| = 15 = |G|$, so $G = H_3 H_5$. Since both are normal with trivial intersection: $G \cong H_3 \times H_5 \cong \mathbb{Z}_3 \times \mathbb{Z}_5 \cong \mathbb{Z}_{15}$. ∎ **Problem A2:** Find all homomorphisms from $\mathbb{Z}_{12}$ to $\mathbb{Z}_8$. *Solution:* A homomorphism $\phi: \mathbb{Z}_{12} \to \mathbb{Z}_8$ is determined by $\phi(1)$. If $\phi(1) = k$, then $12k \equiv 0 \pmod{8}$ (since $12 \cdot 1 = 0$ in $\mathbb{Z}_{12}$). $12k \equiv 0 \pmod{8} \Leftrightarrow 4k \equiv 0 \pmod{8} \Leftrightarrow k \equiv 0 \pmod{2}$. So $\phi(1) \in \{0, 2, 4, 6\}$. The four homomorphisms: - $\phi_0: n \mapsto 0$ (trivial) - $\phi_2: n \mapsto 2n \mod 8$ - $\phi_4: n \mapsto 4n \mod 8$ - $\phi_6: n \mapsto 6n \mod 8$ **Problem A3:** In $S_5$, how many elements have order 6? *Solution:* Order 6 requires $\text{lcm}(\text{cycle lengths}) = 6 = 2 \times 3$. Possible cycle types: $(3, 2)$ — a 3-cycle and a 2-cycle. Count: Choose 3 elements for the 3-cycle: $\binom{5}{3} = 10$. Arrange them in a 3-cycle: $(3-1)! = 2$ ways. The remaining 2 elements form the 2-cycle: 1 way. Total: $10 \times 2 \times 1 = 20$ elements of order 6. ### Part B: Intermediate **Problem B1:** Let $G$ be a group of order 12. Prove $G$ has a normal subgroup of order 3 or 4. *Solution:* By Sylow theorems: - $n_3 | 4$ and $n_3 \equiv 1 \pmod{3}$, so $n_3 \in \{1, 4\}$. - $n_2 | 3$ and $n_2 \equiv 1 \pmod{2}$, so $n_2 \in \{1, 3\}$. If $n_3 = 1$, we have a unique (hence normal) Sylow 3-subgroup of order 3. Done. If $n_2 = 1$, we have a unique normal Sylow 2-subgroup of order 4. Done. If $n_3 = 4$ and $n_2 = 3$: - 4 subgroups of order 3 contribute $4 \times 2 = 8$ elements of order 3 - 3 subgroups of order 4 contribute at least $3 \times 3 = 9$ elements of order 2 or 4 But $8 + 9 = 17 > 12$. Contradiction! So either $n_3 = 1$ or $n_2 = 1$. ∎ **Problem B2:** Show that $GL_2(\mathbb{Z}_2)$ is isomorphic to $S_3$. *Solution:* $GL_2(\mathbb{Z}_2)$ = invertible $2 \times 2$ matrices over $\mathbb{Z}_2 = \{0, 1\}$. A matrix is invertible iff $\det \neq 0$, i.e., $\det = 1$ in $\mathbb{Z}_2$. Matrices with entries in $\{0, 1\}$: $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$$ Check: each has $\det = 1$. So $|GL_2(\mathbb{Z}_2)| = 6 = |S_3|$. The group acts on $(\mathbb{Z}_2)^2 \setminus \{0\} = \{(1,0), (0,1), (1,1)\}$, giving a homomorphism to $S_3$. Both have order 6, both are non-abelian, so $GL_2(\mathbb{Z}_2) \cong S_3$. ∎ **Problem B3:** Prove: If $G/Z(G)$ is cyclic, then $G$ is abelian. *Solution:* Suppose $G/Z(G) = \langle gZ(G) \rangle$ for some $g \in G$. Every element of $G$ can be written as $g^n z$ for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $z \in Z(G)$. Take $a = g^m z_1$ and $b = g^n z_2$ in $G$. Then: $$ab = g^m z_1 \cdot g^n z_2 = g^m g^n z_1 z_2 = g^{m+n} z_1 z_2$$ $$ba = g^n z_2 \cdot g^m z_1 = g^n g^m z_2 z_1 = g^{m+n} z_2 z_1$$ Since $z_1, z_2 \in Z(G)$, they commute with everything, including each other. So $ab = ba$. Therefore $G$ is abelian. ∎ ### Part C: Advanced **Problem C1:** Classify all groups of order 8. *Solution:* Possible groups: **Abelian:** By structure theorem: - $\mathbb{Z}_8$ - $\mathbb{Z}_4 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ - $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ **Non-abelian:** - **Dihedral group $D_4$:** symmetries of square, $\langle r, s | r^4 = s^2 = e, srs = r^{-1} \rangle$ - **Quaternion group $Q_8$:** $\{\pm 1, \pm i, \pm j, \pm k\}$ with $i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = -1$ To distinguish: In $D_4$, there are 5 elements of order 2. In $Q_8$, only one element ($-1$) has order 2. So there are exactly **5 groups of order 8**. **Problem C2:** Prove $A_5$ is simple. *Solution Sketch:* $|A_5| = 60$. Suppose $N \trianglelefteq A_5$ with $N \neq \{e\}, A_5$. Conjugacy classes in $A_5$ have sizes: 1 (identity), 20 (3-cycles), 15 (products of two 2-cycles), 12 (5-cycles), 12 (5-cycles of other type). $N$ must be a union of conjugacy classes including $\{e\}$. So $|N| = 1 + (\text{sum of some class sizes from } \{20, 15, 12, 12\})$. But $|N|$ must divide 60. Check all possibilities: - $1 + 20 = 21$ doesn't divide 60 - $1 + 15 = 16$ doesn't divide 60 - $1 + 12 = 13$ doesn't divide 60 - $1 + 20 + 15 = 36$ doesn't divide 60 - etc. No valid combination works, so no such $N$ exists. $A_5$ is simple. ∎ **Problem C3 (Physics):** Three spin-1/2 particles. The total spin space has dimension $2^3 = 8$. (a) How does $S_3$ act on this space? (b) Decompose the space into symmetric and antisymmetric parts. (c) What are the possible total spins $S$? *Solution:* (a) $S_3$ permutes particle labels: $\sigma$ acts on $|s_1 s_2 s_3\rangle$ by $$P_\sigma |s_1 s_2 s_3\rangle = |s_{\sigma^{-1}(1)} s_{\sigma^{-1}(2)} s_{\sigma^{-1}(3)}\rangle$$ (b) Symmetric subspace: states unchanged under all permutations. Basis: $|↑↑↑\rangle$, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(|↑↑↓\rangle + |↑↓↑\rangle + |↓↑↑\rangle)$, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(|↓↓↑\rangle + |↓↑↓\rangle + |↑↓↓\rangle)$, $|↓↓↓\rangle$ Dimension 4 (these are the $S = 3/2$ states). Antisymmetric subspace: states pick up $\text{sgn}(\sigma)$ under permutation. For 3 two-level systems, the only antisymmetric state would require $|↑↓↑\rangle - |↓↑↑\rangle + \ldots$, but this vanishes identically for identical particles with only 2 states. **Dimension 0** (no fully antisymmetric states for 3 particles with 2 states each). (c) Total spin decomposition: $\frac{1}{2} \otimes \frac{1}{2} \otimes \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \oplus \frac{1}{2} \oplus \frac{1}{2}$ The $S = 3/2$ (4 states) is totally symmetric. The two $S = 1/2$ (2 states each) are mixed symmetry. --- ## 4.
