(2) Explain why Z20 is not isomorphic to Z8 . (3) Show that if : G H is an isomorphism then G is abelian iff H is abelian. (4) Show that if : G H is an isomporphism then |x| = |(x)|, x G. (5) An isomorphism of a group onto itself is called an automorphism. Let G be a group and let g be an element of G. Show that the mapping x 7 gxg 1 is an automorphism of G. (6) Let G be a group. Show that the mapping x 7 x1 is an automorphism G iff G is abelian. (7) Let G be a group and H and K be subgroups of G such that i)H and K have only the identity element in common.ii) HK = G. iii) Every element of H commutes with every element of K. Show that G is isomorphic to H K. (8) Show that if G is a group of order 4 that is not cyclic then it is isomporphic to Z2 Z2 . (9) Show that if D12 is isomorphic to D6 Z2 . (10) Show that if G H is cyclic then G and H are also cyclic.
