Simple groups and JH theorem Flashcards
G is simple if
G=/={1} and the only normal subgroups of G are G and {1}
commutator of n and g
[n,g] = n^-1 g^-1 n g
if n greater or equal to 3 then
every element of An can be written as a product of 3-cycles
if n greater of equal to 5 then
then the cycles are all conjugate in An
A5 is …
simple
for n greater or equal to 5, An is
simple
G1,….,Gn subgroups of G is called a
composition series for G
K is a maximal normal subgroup of G<=>
G/K being simple
K1/K is a normal subgroup of G/K
K ≤ K1 is a normal subgroup of G
JH Theorem
G finite, =/= {1}
two composition series G |≥ H1 |≥……|≥Hr
and similar but K and s then
i) r =s
ii) G/H1, H1/H2 …. G/K1, K1/K2 are the same simple groups up to isomorphism
K is a maximal normal subgroup of G <=>
G/K is simple
N1 G, N2 G
N1N2 normal subgroup of G
N1 G, N2 G
intersection of N1 N2 is a normal subgroup of G
N G, H subgroup of G, then
HN/N isomorphic to H/H∩N
