Pugh|exercise_2_41 | Let $\|\cdot\|$ be any norm on $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ and let $B=\left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^{m}:\|x\| \leq 1\right\}$. Prove that $B$ is compact. | \begin{proof}
Let us call $\|\cdot\|_E$ the Euclidean norm in $\mathbb{R}^m$. We start by claiming that there exist constants $C_1, C_2>0$ such that
$$
C_1\|x\|_E \leq\|x\| \leq C_2\|x\|_E, \forall x \in \mathbb{R}^m .
$$
Assuming (1) to be true, let us finish the problem. First let us show that $B$ is bounded w.r.t. $d_E$, which is how we call the Euclidean distance in $\mathbb{R}^m$. Indeed, given $x \in B,\|x\|_E \leq \frac{1}{C_1}\|x\| \leq \frac{1}{C_1}$. Hence $B \subset\left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^m: d_E(x, 0)<\frac{1}{C_1}+1\right\}$, which means $B$ is bounded w.r.t $d_E$.
Now let us show that $B$ is closed w.r.t. $d_E$. Let $x_n \rightarrow x$ w.r.t. $d_E$, where $x_n \in B$. Notice that this implies that $x_n \rightarrow x$ w.r.t. $d(x, y)=\|x-y\|$, the distance coming from $\|\cdot\|$, since by (1) we have
$$
d\left(x_n, x\right)=\left\|x_n-x\right\| \leq C_2\left\|x_n-x\right\|_E \rightarrow 0 .
$$
Also, notice that
$$
\|x\| \leq\left\|x_n-x\right\|+\left\|x_n\right\| \leq\left\|x_n-x\right\|+1,
$$
hence passing to the limit we obtain that $\|x\| \leq 1$, therefore $x \in B$ and so $B$ is closed w.r.t. $d_E$. Since $B$ is closed and bounded w.r.t. $d_E$, it must be compact. Now we claim that the identity function, $i d:\left(\mathbb{R}^m, d_E\right) \rightarrow\left(\mathbb{R}^m, d\right)$ where $\left(\mathbb{R}^m, d_E\right)$ means we are using the distance $d_E$ in $\mathbb{R}^m$ and $\left(\mathbb{R}^m, d\right)$ means we are using the distance $d$ in $\mathbb{R}^m$, is a homeomorphism. This follows by (1), since $i d$ is always a bijection, and it is continuous and its inverse is continuous by (1) (if $x_n \rightarrow x$ w.r.t. $d_E$, then $x_n \rightarrow x$ w.r.t. $d$ and vice-versa, by (1)). By a result we saw in class, since $B$ is compact in $\left(\mathbb{R}^m, d_E\right)$ and $i d$ is a homeomorphism, then $i d(B)=B$ is compact w.r.t. $d$.
We are left with proving (1). Notice that it suffices to prove that $C_1 \leq\|x\| \leq$ $C_2, \forall x \in \mathbb{R}^m$ with $\|x\|_E=1$. Indeed, if this is true, given $x \in \mathbb{R}^m$, either $\|x\|_E=0$ (which implies $x=0$ and (1) holds in this case), or $x /\|x\|_E=y$ is such that $\|y\|_E=1$, so $C_1 \leq\|y\| \leq C_2$, which implies $C_1\|x\|_E \leq\|x\| \leq C_2\|x\|_E$.
We want to show now that $\|\cdot\|$ is continuous w.r.t. $d_E$, that is, given $\varepsilon>0$ and $x \in \mathbb{R}^m$, there exists $\delta>0$ such that if $d_E(x, y)<\delta$, then $\|\mid x\|-\|y\| \|<\varepsilon$.
By the triangle inequality, $\|x\|-\|y\| \leq\|x-y\|$, and $\|y\|-\|x\| \leq\|x-y\|$, therefore
$$
|\|x||-\| y|\|\leq\| x-y \| .
$$
Writing now $x=\sum_{i=1}^m a_i e_i, y=\sum_{i=1}^m b_i e_i$, where $e_i=(0, \ldots, 1,0, \ldots, 0)$ (with 1 in the i-th component), we obtain by the triangle inequality,
$$
\begin{aligned}
\|x-y\| & =\left\|\sum_{i=1}^m\left(a_i-b_i\right) e_i\right\| \leq \sum_{i=1}^m\left|a_i-b_i\left\|\left|\left\|e_i\right\| \leq \max _{i=1, \ldots, m}\left\|e_i\right\| \sum_{i=1}^m\right| a_i-b_i \mid\right.\right. \\
& =\max _{i=1, \ldots, m}\left\|e_i\right\| d_{s u m}(x, y) \leq \max _{i=1, \ldots, m}\left\|e_i\right\| m d_{\max }(x, y) \\
& \leq \max _{i=1, \ldots, m}\left\|e_i\right\| m d_E(x, y) .
\end{aligned}
$$
Let $\delta=\frac{\varepsilon}{m \max _{i=1, \ldots, m}\left\|e_i\right\|}$. Then if $d_E(x, y)<\delta,\|x\|-\|y\|||<\varepsilon$.
Since $\|\cdot\|$ is continuous w.r.t. $d_E$ and $K=\left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^m:\|x\|_E=1\right\}$ is compact w.r.t. $d_E$, then the function $\|\cdot\|$ achieves a maximum and a minimum value on $K$. Call $C_1=\min _{x \in K}\|x\|, C_2=\max _{x \in K}\|x\|$. Then
$$
C_1 \leq\|x\| \leq C_2, \forall x \in \mathbb{R}^m \text { such that }\|x\|_E=1,
$$
which is what we needed.

Pugh|exercise_2_57 | Show that if $S$ is connected, it is not true in general that its interior is connected. | \begin{proof}
Consider $X=\mathbb{R}^2$ and
$$
A=([-2,0] \times[-2,0]) \cup([0,2] \times[0,2])
$$
which is connected, while $\operatorname{int}(A)$ is not connected.
To see this consider the continuous function $f: \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is defined by $f(x, y)=x+y$. Let $U=f^{-1}(0,+\infty)$ which is open in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and so $U \cap \operatorname{int}(A)$ is open in $\operatorname{int}(A)$. Also, since $(0,0) \notin \operatorname{int}(A)$, so for all $(x, y) \in \operatorname{int}(A), f(x, y) \neq 0$ and $U \cap \operatorname{int}(A)=f^{-1}[0,+\infty) \cap \operatorname{int}(A)$ is closed in $\operatorname{int}(A)$. Furthermore, $(1,1)=f^{-1}(2) \in U \cap \operatorname{int}(A)$ shows that $U \cap \operatorname{int}(A) \neq \emptyset$ while $(-1,-1) \in \operatorname{int}(A)$ and $(-1,-1) \notin U$ shows that $U \cap \operatorname{int}(A) \neq \operatorname{int}(A)$.

Pugh|exercise_2_126 | Suppose that $E$ is an uncountable subset of $\mathbb{R}$. Prove that there exists a point $p \in \mathbb{R}$ at which $E$ condenses. | \begin{proof}
I think this is the proof by contrapositive that you were getting at.
Suppose that $E$ has no limit points at all. Pick an arbitrary point $x \in E$. Then $x$ cannot be a limit point, so there must be some $\delta>0$ such that the ball of radius $\delta$ around $x$ contains no other points of $E$ :
$$
B_\delta(x) \cap E=\{x\}
$$
Call this "point 1 ". For the next point, take the closest element to $x$ and on its left; that is, choose the point
$$
\max [E \cap(-\infty, x)]
$$
if it exists (that is important - if not, skip to the next step). Note that by the argument above, this supremum, should it exist, cannot equal $x$ and is therefore a new point in $E$.
Call this "point 2 ". Now take the first point to the right of $x$ for "point 3 ". Take the first point to the left of point 2 for "point 4 ". And so on, ad infinitum.
This gives a countable list of unique points; we must show that it exhausts the entire set $E$. Suppose not. Suppose there is some element $a<x$ which is never included in the list (picking $a$ on the negative side of $x$ is arbitrary, and the same argument would work for the second case). Then the element closest and to the right of $a$ in $E$ (which exists, by the no-limit-points argument at the beginning) is also not in the list; if it was, $a$ would have been in one of the next two spots. And same with that point (call it $a_1$ ); there is a closest $a_2>a_1 \in E$ such that $a_2$ is not in the list. Repeating, we generate an infinite monotone-increasing sequence $\left\{a_i\right\}$ of elements in $E$ and not in the list, which is clearly bounded above by $x$. By the Monotone
Convergence Theorem this sequence has a limit. But that means the sequence $\left\{a_i\right\} \subset E$ converges to a limit, and hence $E$ has a limit point, contradicting the assumption. Therefore our list exhausts $E$, and we have enumerated all its elements.

which goes to infinity if $c \leq 1$ and converges if $c>1$. Thus,

Herstein|exercise_2_1_21 | Show that a group of order 5 must be abelian. | \begin{proof}
Suppose $G$ is a group of order 5 which is not abelian. Then there exist two non-identity elements $a, b \in G$ such that $a * b \neq$ $b * a$. Further we see that $G$ must equal $\{e, a, b, a * b, b * a\}$. To see why $a * b$ must be distinct from all the others, not that if $a *$ $b=e$, then $a$ and $b$ are inverses and hence $a * b=b * a$.
Contradiction. If $a * b=a$ (or $=b$ ), then $b=e$ (or $a=e$ ) and $e$ commutes with everything. Contradiction. We know by supposition that $a * b \neq b * a$. Hence all the elements $\{e, a, b, a * b, b * a\}$ are distinct.
Now consider $a^2$. It can't equal $a$ as then $a=e$ and it can't equal $a * b$ or $b * a$ as then $b=a$. Hence either $a^2=e$ or $a^2=b$.
Now consider $a * b * a$. It can't equal $a$ as then $b * a=e$ and hence $a * b=b * a$. Similarly it can't equal $b$. It also can't equal $a * b$ or $b * a$ as then $a=e$. Hence $a * b * a=e$.
So then we additionally see that $a^2 \neq e$ because then $a^2=e=$ $a * b * a$ and consequently $a=b * a$ (and hence $b=e$ ). So $a^2=b$. But then $a * b=a * a^2=a^2 * a=b * a$. Contradiction.
Hence starting with the assumption that there exists an order 5 abelian group $G$ leads to a contradiction. Thus there is no such group.

Let $n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_k$ be the orders of all $k$ elements of $G=$ $\left\{a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k\right\}$. Let $m=\operatorname{lcm}\left(n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_k\right)$. Then, for any $i=$ $1, \ldots, k$, there exists an integer $c$ such that $m=n_i c$. Thus
$$
a_i^m=a_i^{n_i c}=\left(a_i^{n_i}\right)^c=e^c=e
$$
Hence $m$ is a positive integer such that $a^m=e$ for all $a \in G$.

Herstein|exercise_2_2_5 | Let $G$ be a group in which $(a b)^{3}=a^{3} b^{3}$ and $(a b)^{5}=a^{5} b^{5}$ for all $a, b \in G$. Show that $G$ is abelian. | \begin{proof}
We have
$$
\begin{aligned}
& (a b)^3=a^3 b^3, \text { for all } a, b \in G \\
\Longrightarrow & (a b)(a b)(a b)=a\left(a^2 b^2\right) b \\
\Longrightarrow & a(b a)(b a) b=a\left(a^2 b^2\right) b \\
\Longrightarrow & (b a)^2=a^2 b^2, \text { by cancellation law. }
\end{aligned}
$$
Again,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& (a b)^5=a^5 b^5, \text { for all } a, b \in G \\
\Longrightarrow & (a b)(a b)(a b)(a b)(a b)=a\left(a^4 b^4\right) b \\
\Longrightarrow & a(b a)(b a)(b a)(b a) b=a\left(a^4 b^4\right) b \\
\Longrightarrow & (b a)^4=a^4 b^4, \text { by cancellation law. }
\end{aligned}
$$
Now by combining two cases we have
$$
\begin{aligned}
& (b a)^4=a^4 b^4 \\
\Longrightarrow & \left((b a)^2\right)^2=a^2\left(a^2 b^2\right) b^2 \\
\Longrightarrow & \left(a^2 b^2\right)^2=a^2\left(a^2 b^2\right) b^2 \\
\Longrightarrow & \left(a^2 b^2\right)\left(a^2 b^2\right)=a^2\left(a^2 b^2\right) b^2 \\
\Longrightarrow & a^2\left(b^2 a^2\right) b^2=a^2\left(a^2 b^2\right) b^2 \\
\Longrightarrow & b^2 a^2=a^2 b^2, \text { by cancellation law. } \\
\Longrightarrow & b^2 a^2=(b a)^2, \text { since }(b a)^2=a^2 b^2 \\
\Longrightarrow & b(b a) a=(b a)(b a) \\
\Longrightarrow & b(b a) a=b(a b) a \\
\Longrightarrow & b a=a b, \text { by cancellation law. }
\end{aligned}
$$
It follows that, $a b=b a$ for all $a, b \in G$. Hence $G$ is abelian

Herstein|exercise_2_3_17 | If $G$ is a group and $a, x \in G$, prove that $C\left(x^{-1} a x\right)=x^{-1} C(a) x$ | \begin{proof}
Note that
$$
C(a):=\{x \in G \mid x a=a x\} .
$$
Let us assume $p \in C\left(x^{-1} a x\right)$. Then,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& p\left(x^{-1} a x\right)=\left(x^{-1} a x\right) p \\
\Longrightarrow & \left(p x^{-1} a\right) x=x^{-1}(a x p) \\
\Longrightarrow & x\left(p x^{-1} a\right)=(a x p) x^{-1} \\
\Longrightarrow & \left(x p x^{-1}\right) a=a\left(x p x^{-1}\right) \\
\Longrightarrow & x p x^{-1} \in C(a) .
\end{aligned}
$$
Therefore,
$$
p \in C\left(x^{-1} a x\right) \Longrightarrow x p x^{-1} \in C(a) .
$$
Thus,
$$
C\left(x^{-1} a x\right) \subset x^{-1} C(a) x .
$$
Let us assume
$$
q \in x^{-1} C(a) x .
$$
Then there exists an element $y$ in $C(a)$ such that
$$
q=x^{-1} y x
$$
Now,
$$
y \in C(a) \Longrightarrow y a=a y .
$$
Also,
$$
q\left(x^{-1} a x\right)=\left(x^{-1} y x\right)\left(x^{-1} a x\right)=x^{-1}(y a) x=x^{-1}(y a) x=\left(x^{-1} y x\right)\left(x^{-1} a x\right)=\left(x^{-1} y x\right) q .
$$
Therefore,
$$
q\left(x^{-1} a x\right)=\left(x^{-1} y x\right) q
$$
So,
$$
q \in C\left(x^{-1} a x\right) .
$$
Consequently we have
$$
x^{-1} C(a) x \subset C\left(x^{-1} a x\right) .
$$
It follows from the aforesaid argument
$$
C\left(x^{-1} a x\right)=x^{-1} C(a) x .
$$
This completes the proof.

Herstein|exercise_2_4_36 | If $a > 1$ is an integer, show that $n \mid \varphi(a^n - 1)$, where $\phi$ is the Euler $\varphi$-function. | \begin{proof}
Proof: We have $a>1$. First we propose to prove that
$$
\operatorname{Gcd}\left(a, a^n-1\right)=1 .
$$
If possible, let us assume that
$\operatorname{Gcd}\left(a, a^n-1\right)=d$, where $d>1$.
Then
$d$ divides $a$ as well as $a^n-1$.
Now,
$d$ divides $a \Longrightarrow d$ divides $a^n$.
This is an impossibility, since $d$ divides $a^n-1$ by our assumption. Consequently, $d$ divides 1 , which implies $d=1$. Hence we are contradict to the fact that $d>1$. Therefore
$$
\operatorname{Gcd}\left(a, a^n-1\right)=1 .
$$
Then $a \in U_{a^n-1}$, where $U_n$ is a group defined by
$$
U_n:=\left\{\bar{a} \in \mathbb{Z}_n \mid \operatorname{Gcd}(a, n)=1\right\} .
$$
We know that order of an element divides the order of the group. Here order of the group $U_{a^n-1}$ is $\phi\left(a^n-1\right)$ and $a \in U_{a^n-1}$. This follows that $\mathrm{o}(a)$ divides $\phi\left(a^n-1\right)$.

Herstein|exercise_2_5_37 | If $G$ is a nonabelian group of order 6, prove that $G \simeq S_3$. | \begin{proof}
Suppose $G$ is a non-abelian group of order 6 . We need to prove that $G \cong S_3$. Since $G$ is non-abelian, we conclude that there is no element of order 6. Now all the nonidentity element has order either 2 or 3 . All elements cannot be order 3 .This is because except the identity elements there are 5 elements, but order 3 elements occur in pair, that is $a, a^2$, both have order 3 , and $a \neq a^2$. So, this is a contradiction, as there are only 5 elements. So, there must be an element of order 2 . All elements of order 2 will imply that $G$ is abelian, hence there is also element of order 3 . Let $a$ be an element of order 2 , and $b$ be an element of order 3 . So we have $e, a, b, b^2$, already 4 elements. Now $a b \neq e, b, b^2$. So $a b$ is another element distinct from the ones already constructed. $a b^2 \neq e, b, a b, b^2, a$. So, we have got another element distinct from the other. So, now $ G=\left\{e, a, b, b^2, a b, a b^2\right\}$. Also, ba must be equal to one of these elements. But $b a \neq e, a, b, b^2$. Also if $b a=a b$, the group will become abelian. so $b a=a b^2$. So what we finally get is $G=\left\langle a, b \mid a^2=e=b^3, b a=a b^2\right\rangle$. Hence $G \cong S_3$.

Herstein|exercise_2_5_44 | Prove that a group of order $p^2$, $p$ a prime, has a normal subgroup of order $p$. | \begin{proof}
We use the result from problem 40 which is as follows: Suppose $G$ is a group, $H$ is a subgroup and $|G|=n$ and $n \nmid\left(i_G(H)\right) !$. Then there exists a normal subgroup $K \neq \{ e \}$ and $K \subseteq H$.
So, we have now a group $G$ of order $p^2$. Suppose that the group is cyclic, then it is abelian and any subgroup of order $p$ is normal. Now let us suppose that $G$ is not cyclic, then there exists an element $a$ of order $p$, and $A=\langle a\rangle$. Now $i_G(A)=p$, so $p^2 \nmid p$ ! , hence by the above result there is a normal subgroup $K$, non-trivial and $K \subseteq A$. But $|A|=p$, a prime order subgroup, hence has no non-trivial subgroup, so $K=A$. so $A$ is normal subgroup.

Herstein|exercise_2_6_15 | If $G$ is an abelian group and if $G$ has an element of order $m$ and one of order $n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, prove that $G$ has an element of order $mn$. | \begin{proof}
Let $G$ be an abelian group, and let $a$ and $b$ be elements in $G$ of order $m$ and $n$, respectively, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime. We will show that the product $ab$ has order $mn$ in $G$, which will prove that $G$ has an element of order $mn$.
To show that $ab$ has order $mn$, let $k$ be the order of $ab$ in $G$. We have $a^m = e$, $b^n = e$, and $(ab)^k = e$, where $e$ denotes the identity element of $G$. Since $G$ is abelian, we have
$$(ab)^{mn} = a^{mn}b^{mn} = e \cdot e = e.$$
Thus, $k$ is a divisor of $mn$.
Now, observe that $a^k = b^{-k}$. Since $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, there exist integers $x$ and $y$ such that $mx + ny = 1$. Taking $kx$ on both sides of the equation, we get $a^{kx} = b^{-kx}$, or equivalently, $(a^k)^x = (b^k)^{-x}$. It follows that $a^{kx} = (a^m)^{xny} = e$, and similarly, $b^{ky} = (b^n)^{mxk} = e$. Therefore, $m$ divides $ky$ and $n$ divides $kx$. Since $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, it follows that $mn$ divides $k$. Hence, $k = mn$, and $ab$ has order $mn$ in $G$. This completes the proof.

Herstein|exercise_2_8_12 | Prove that any two nonabelian groups of order 21 are isomorphic. | \begin{proof}
By Cauchy's theorem we have that if $G$ is a group of order 21 then it has an element $a$ of order 3 and an element $b$ of order 7. By exercise 2.5.41 we have that the subgroup generated by $b$ is normal, so there is some $i=0,1,2,3,4,5,6$ such that $a b a^{-1}=b^i$. We know $i \neq$ 0 since that implies $a b=a$ and so that $b=e$, a contradiction, and we know $i \neq 1$ since then $a b=b a$ and this would imply $G$ is abelian, which we are assuming is not the case.
Now, $a$ has order 3 so we must have $b=a^3 b a^{-3}=b^{i^3}$ mod 7 , and so $i$ is restricted by the modular equation $i^3 \equiv 1 \bmod 7$
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline$x$ & $x^3 \bmod 7$ \\
\hline 2 & 1 \\
\hline 3 & 6 \\
\hline 4 & 1 \\
\hline 5 & 6 \\
\hline 6 & 6 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
Therefore the only options are $i=2$ and $i=4$. Now suppose $G$ is such that $a b a^{-1}=b^2$ and let $G^{\prime}$ be another group of order 21 with an element $c$ of order 3 and an element $d$ of order 7 such that $c d c^{-1}=d^4$. We now prove that $G$ and $G^{\prime}$ are isomorphic. Define
$$
\begin{aligned}
\phi: G & \rightarrow G^{\prime} \\
a & \mapsto c^{-1} \\
b & \mapsto d
\end{aligned}
$$
since $a$ and $c^{-1}$ have the same order and $b$ and $d$ have the same order this is a well defined function. Since
$$
\begin{aligned}
\phi(a) \phi(b) \phi(a)^{-1} & =c^{-1} d c \\
& =\left(c d^{-1} c^{-1}\right)^{-1} \\
& =\left(d^{-4}\right)^{-1} \\
& =d^4 \\
& =\left(d^2\right)^2 \\
& =\phi(b)^2
\end{aligned}
$$
$\phi$ is actually a homomorphism. For any $c^i d^j \in G^{\prime}$ we have $\phi\left(a^{-i} b^j\right)=c^i d^j$ so $\phi$ is onto and $\phi\left(a^i b^j\right)=c^{-i} d^j=e$ only if $i=j=0$, so $\phi$ is 1-to-l. Therefore $G$ and $G^{\prime}$ are isomorphic and so up to isomorphism there is only one nonabelian group of order 21 .

Herstein|exercise_2_9_2 | If $G_1$ and $G_2$ are cyclic groups of orders $m$ and $n$, respectively, prove that $G_1 \times G_2$ is cyclic if and only if $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime. | \begin{proof}
The order of $G \times H$ is $n$. $m$. Thus, $G \times H$ is cyclic iff it has an element with order n. $m$. Suppose $\operatorname{gcd}(n . m)=1$. This implies that $g^m$ has order $n$, and analogously $h^n$ has order $m$. That is, $g \times h$ has order $n$. $m$, and therefore $G \times H$ is cyclic.
Suppose now that $\operatorname{gcd}(n . m)>1$. Let $g^k$ be an element of $G$ and $h^j$ be an element of $H$. Since the lowest common multiple of $n$ and $m$ is lower than the product $n . m$, that is, $\operatorname{lcm}(n, m)<n$. $m$, and since $\left(g^k\right)^{l c m(n, m)}=e_G,\left(h^j\right)^{l c m(n, m)}=e_H$, we have $\left(g^k \times h^j\right)^{l c m(n, m)}=e_{G \times H}$. It follows that every element of $G \times H$ has order lower than $n . m$, and therefore $G \times H$ is not cyclic.

Herstein|exercise_2_11_22 | Show that any subgroup of order $p^{n-1}$ in a group $G$ of order $p^n$ is normal in $G$. | \begin{proof}
Proof: First we prove the following lemma.
\textbf{Lemma:} If $G$ is a finite $p$-group with $|G|>1$, then $Z(G)$, the center of $G$, has more than one element; that is, if $|G|=p^k$ with $k\geq 1$, then $|Z(G)|>1$.
\textit{Proof of the lemma:} Consider the class equation
$$
|G|=|Z(G)|+\sum_{a \notin Z(G)}[G: C(a)],
$$
where $C(a)$ denotes the centralizer of $a$ in $G$. If $G=Z(G)$, then the lemma is immediate. Suppose $Z(G)$ is a proper subset of $G$ and consider an element $a\in G$ such that $a\notin Z(G)$. Then $C(a)$ is a proper subgroup of $G$. Since $C(a)$ is a subgroup of a $p$-group, $[G:C(a)]$ is divisible by $p$ for all $a\notin Z(G)$. This implies that $p$ divides $|G|=|Z(G)|+\sum_{a\notin Z(G)} [G:C(a)]$.
Since $p$ also divides $|G|$, it follows that $p$ divides $|Z(G)|$. Hence, $|Z(G)|>1$. $\Box$
This proves our \textbf{lemma}.
We will prove the result by induction on $n$.
If $n=1$, the $G$ is a cyclic group of prime order and hence every subgroup of $G$ is normal in $G$. Thus, the result is true for $n=1$.
Suppose the result is true for all groups of order $p^m$, where $1 \leq m<n$.
Let $H$ be a subgroup of order $p^{n-1}$.
Consider $N(H)=\{g \in H: g H=H g\}$.
If $H \neq N(H)$, then $|N(H)|>p^{n-1}$. Thus, $|N(H)|=p^n$ and $N(H)=G$.
In this case $H$ is normal in $G$.
Let $H=N(H)$. Then $Z(G)$, the center of $G$, is a subset of $H$ and $Z(G) \neq$ $\{e\}$.
By Cauchy's theorem and the above Claim, there exists $a \in Z(G)$ such that $o(a)=p$.
Let $K=\langle a\rangle$, a cyclic group generated by $a$.
Then $K$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ of order $p$. Now, $|H / K|=p^{n-2}$ and $|G / K|=p^{n-1}$.
Thus, by induction hypothesis, $H / K$ is a normal subgroup of $G / K$.

Herstein|exercise_4_2_5 | Let $R$ be a ring in which $x^3 = x$ for every $x \in R$. Prove that $R$ is commutative. | \begin{proof}
To begin with
$$
2 x=(2 x)^3=8 x^3=8 x .
$$
Therefore $6 x=0 \quad \forall x$.
Also
$$
(x+y)=(x+y)^3=x^3+x^2 y+x y x+y x^2+x y^2+y x y+y^2 x+y^3
$$
and
$$
(x-y)=(x-y)^3=x^3-x^2 y-x y x-y x^2+x y^2+y x y+y^2 x-y^3
$$
Subtracting we get
$$
2\left(x^2 y+x y x+y x^2\right)=0
$$
Multiply the last relation by $x$ on the left and right to get
$$
2\left(x y+x^2 y x+x y x^2\right)=0 \quad 2\left(x^2 y x+x y x^2+y x\right)=0 .
$$
Subtracting the last two relations we have
$$
2(x y-y x)=0 .
$$
We then show that $3\left(x+x^2\right)=0 \forall x$. You get this from
$$
x+x^2=\left(x+x^2\right)^3=x^3+3 x^4+3 x^5+x^6=4\left(x+x^2\right) .
$$
In particular
$$
3\left(x+y+(x+y)^2\right)=3\left(x+x^2+y+y^2+x y+y x\right)=0
$$
we end-up with $3(x y+y x)=0$. But since $6 x y=0$, we have $3(x y-y x)=0$. Then subtract $2(x y-y x)=0$ to get $x y-y x=0$.

Herstein|exercise_4_2_9 | Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $1 + \frac{1}{2} + ... + \frac{1}{p - 1} = \frac{a}{b}$, where $a, b$ are integers. Show that $p \mid a$. | \begin{proof}
First we prove for prime $p=3$ and then for all prime $p>3$.
Let us take $p=3$. Then the sum
$$
\frac{1}{1}+\frac{1}{2}+\ldots+\frac{1}{(p-1)}
$$
becomes
$$
1+\frac{1}{3-1}=1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} .
$$
Therefore in this case $\quad \frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{2} \quad$ implies $3 \mid a$, i.e. $p \mid a$.
Now for odd prime $p>3$.
Let us consider $f(x)=(x-1)(x-2) \ldots(x-(p-1))$.
Now, by Fermat, we know that the coefficients of $f(x)$ other than the $x^{p-1}$ and $x^0$ are divisible by $p$.
So if,
$$
\begin{array}{r}
f(x)=x^{p-1}+\sum_{i=0}^{p-2} a_i x^i \\
\text { and } p>3 .
\end{array}
$$
Then $p \mid a_2$, and
$$
f(p) \equiv a_1 p+a_0 \quad\left(\bmod p^3\right)
$$
But we see that
$$
f(x)=(-1)^{p-1} f(p-x) \text { for any } x,
$$
so if $p$ is odd,
$$
f(p)=f(0)=a_0,
$$
So it follows that:
$$
0=f(p)-a_0 \equiv a_1 p \quad\left(\bmod p^3\right)
$$
Therefore,
$$
0 \equiv a_1 \quad\left(\bmod p^2\right) .
$$
Hence,
$$
0 \equiv a_1 \quad(\bmod p) .
$$
Now our sum is just $\frac{a_1}{(p-1) !}=\frac{a}{b}$.
It follows that $p$ divides $a$. This completes the proof.

Herstein|exercise_4_3_25 | Let $R$ be the ring of $2 \times 2$ matrices over the real numbers; suppose that $I$ is an ideal of $R$. Show that $I = (0)$ or $I = R$. | \begin{proof}
Suppose that $I$ is a nontrivial ideal of $R$, and let
$$
A=\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{array}\right)
$$
where not all of $a, b, c d$ are zero. Suppose, without loss of generality -- our steps would be completely analogous, modulo some different placement of 1 s in our matrices, if we assumed some other element to be nonzero -- that $a \neq 0$. Then we have that
$$
\left(\begin{array}{ll}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a & b \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right) \in I
$$
and so
$$
\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a & b \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ll}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right) \in I
$$
so that
$$
\left(\begin{array}{ll}
x & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right) \in I
$$
for any real $x$. Now, also for any real $x$,
$$
\left(\begin{array}{ll}
x & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & 1 \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & x \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right) \in I .
$$
Likewise
$$
\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & 0 \\
1 & 0
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & x \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & 0 \\
0 & x
\end{array}\right) \in I
$$
and
$$
\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & 0 \\
0 & x
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & 0 \\
1 & 0
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & 0 \\
x & 0
\end{array}\right)
$$
Thus, as
$$
\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & b \\
0 & 0
\end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & 0 \\
c & 0
\end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{ll}
0 & 0 \\
0 & d
\end{array}\right)
$$
and since all the terms on the right side are in $I$ and $I$ is an additive group, it follows that
$$
\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{array}\right)
$$
for arbitrary $a, b, c, d$ is in $I$, i.e. $I=R$
Note that the intuition for picking these matrices is that, if we denote by $E_{i j}$ the matrix with 1 at position $(i, j)$ and 0 elsewhere, then
$$
E_{i j}\left(\begin{array}{ll}
a_{1,1} & a_{1,2} \\

Herstein|exercise_4_5_16 | Let $F = \mathbb{Z}_p$ be the field of integers $\mod p$, where $p$ is a prime, and let $q(x) \in F[x]$ be irreducible of degree $n$. Show that $F[x]/(q(x))$ is a field having at exactly $p^n$ elements. | \begin{proof}
In the previous problem we have shown that any for any $p(x) \in F[x]$, we have that
$$
p(x)+(q(x))=a_{n-1} x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_1 x+a_0+(q(x))
$$
for some $a_{n-1}, \ldots, a_0 \in F$, and that there are $p^n$ choices for these numbers, so that $F[x] /(q(x)) \leq p^n$. In order to show that equality holds, we have to show that each of these choices induces a different element of $F[x] /(q(x))$; in other words, that each different polynomial of degree $n-1$ or lower belongs to a different coset of $(q(x))$ in $F[x]$.
Suppose now, then, that
$$
a_{n-1} x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_1 x+a_0+(q(x))=b_{n-1} x^{n-1}+\cdots+b_1 x+b_0+(q(x))
$$
which is equivalent with $\left(a_{n-1}-b_{n-1}\right)^{n-1}+\cdots\left(a_1-b_1\right) x+\left(a_0-b_0\right) \in(q(x))$, which is in turn equivalent with there being a $w(x) \in F[x]$ such that
$$
q(x) w(x)=\left(a_{n-1}-b_{n-1}\right)^{n-1}+\cdots\left(a_1-b_1\right) x+\left(a_0-b_0\right) .
$$
Degree of the right hand side is strictly smaller than $n$, while the degree of the left hand side is greater or equal to $n$ except if $w(x)=0$, so that if equality is hold we must have that $w(x)=0$, but then since polynomials are equal iff all of their coefficient are equal we get that $a_{n-1}-b_{n-1}=$ $0, \ldots, a_1-b_1=0, a_0-b_0=0$, i.e.
$$
a_{n-1}=b_{n-1}, \ldots, a_1=b_1, a_0=b_0
$$
which is what we needed to prove.

Herstein|exercise_4_5_25 | If $p$ is a prime, show that $q(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + \cdots x^{p - 1}$ is irreducible in $Q[x]$. | \begin{proof}
Lemma: Let $F$ be a field and $f(x) \in F[x]$. If $c \in F$ and $f(x+c)$ is irreducible in $F[x]$, then $f(x)$ is irreducible in $F[x]$.
Proof of the Lemma: Suppose that $f(x)$ is reducible, i.e., there exist non-constant $g(x), h(x) \in F[x]$ so that
$$
f(x)=g(x) h(x) .
$$
In particular, then we have
$$
f(x+c)=g(x+c) h(x+c) .
$$
Note that $g(x+c)$ and $h(x+c)$ have the same degree at $g(x)$ and $h(x)$ respectively; in particular, they are non-constant polynomials. So our assumption is wrong.
Hence, $f(x)$ is irreducible in $F[x]$. This proves our Lemma.
Now recall the identity
$$
\frac{x^p-1}{x-1}=x^{p-1}+x^{p-2}+\ldots \ldots+x^2+x+1 .
$$
We prove that $f(x+1)$ is $\$$ |textbffirreducible in $\mathbb{Q}[x]$ and then apply the Lemma to conclude that $f(x)$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{Q}[x] .3 \$$ Note that
$$
\begin{aligned}

& =\frac{x^p+p x^{p-1}+\ldots+p x}{x} \\
& =x^{p-1}+p x^{p-2}+\ldots .+p .
\end{aligned}
$$
Using that the binomial coefficients occurring above are all divisible by $p$, we have that $f(x+1)$ is irreducible $\mathbb{Q}[x]$ by Eisenstein's criterion applied with prime $p$.
Then by the lemma $f(x)$ is irreducible $\mathbb{Q}[x]$. This completes the proof.

Herstein|exercise_5_2_20 | Let $V$ be a vector space over an infinite field $F$. Show that $V$ cannot be the set-theoretic union of a finite number of proper subspaces of $V$. | \begin{proof}
Assume that $V$ can be written as the set-theoretic union of $n$ proper subspaces $U_1, U_2, \ldots, U_n$. Without loss of generality, we may assume that no $U_i$ is contained in the union of other subspaces.
Let $u \in U_i$ but $u \notin \bigcup_{j \neq i} U_j$ and $v \notin U_i$. Then, we have $(v + Fu) \cap U_i = \varnothing$, and $(v + Fu) \cap U_j$ for $j \neq i$ contains at most one vector, since otherwise $U_j$ would contain $u$.
Therefore, we have $|v + Fu| \leq |F| \leq n-1$. However, since $n$ is a finite natural number, this contradicts the fact that the field $F$ is finite.
Thus, our assumption that $V$ can be written as the set-theoretic union of proper subspaces is wrong, and the claim is proven.

Now, there is one element that has no pairing: the unit $e$ (since indeed $e=e^{-1} \Longleftrightarrow e^2=e$ ), so since the number of elements of $G$ is even there must be at least one element more, say $e \neq a \in G$, without a pairing, and thus $a=a^{-1} \Longleftrightarrow a^2=e$

Since only finitely many elements are involved in the decomposition of each element of $A$, the set $C$ is countable. But $C$ also clearly generates the vector space $V$. This contradicts the fact that it is a proper subset of the basis $B$ (since $B$ is uncountable).

Artin|exercise_6_1_14 | Let $Z$ be the center of a group $G$. Prove that if $G / Z$ is a cyclic group, then $G$ is abelian and hence $G=Z$. | \begin{proof}
We have that $G / Z(G)$ is cyclic, and so there is an element $x \in G$ such that $G / Z(G)=\langle x Z(G)\rangle$, where $x Z(G)$ is the coset with representative $x$. Now let $g \in G$
We know that $g Z(G)=(x Z(G))^m$ for some $m$, and by definition $(x Z(G))^m=x^m Z(G)$.
Now, in general, if $H \leq G$, we have by definition too that $a H=b H$ if and only if $b^{-1} a \in H$.
In our case, we have that $g Z(G)=x^m Z(G)$, and this happens if and only if $\left(x^m\right)^{-1} g \in Z(G)$.
Then, there's a $z \in Z(G)$ such that $\left(x^m\right)^{-1} g=z$, and so $g=x^m z$.
$g, h \in G$ implies that $g=x^{a_1} z_1$ and $h=x^{a_2} z_2$, so
$$
\begin{aligned}
g h & =\left(x^{a_1} z_1\right)\left(x^{a_2} z_2\right) \\
& =x^{a_1} x^{a_2} z_1 z_2 \\
& =x^{a_1+a_2} z_2 z_1 \\
& =\ldots=\left(x^{a_2} z_2\right)\left(x^{a_1} z_1\right)=h g .

$$
Therefore, $G$ is abelian.

We may as well assume $p<q$. The number of Sylow $q$-subgroups is $1 \bmod q$ and divides $p^2$. So it is $1, p$, or $p^2$. We win if it's 1 and it can't be $p$, so suppose it's $p^2$. But now $q \mid p^2-1$, so $q \mid p+1$ or $q \mid p-1$.
Thus $p=2$ and $q=3$. But we know no group of order 36 is simple.

Artin|exercise_10_2_4 | Prove that in the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x],(2) \cap(x)=(2 x)$. | \begin{proof}
Let $f(x) \in(2 x)$. Then there exists some polynomial $g(x) \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that
$$
f(x)=2 x g(x)
$$
But this means that $f(x) \in(2)$ (because $x g(x)$ is a polynomial), and $f(x) \in$ $(x)$ (because $2 g(x)$ is a polynomial). Thus, $f(x) \in(2) \cap(x)$, and
$$
(2 x) \subseteq(2) \cap(x)
$$
On the other hand, let $p(x) \in(2) \cap(x)$. Since $p(x) \in(2)$, there exists some polynomial $h(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ such that
$$
p(x)=2 h(x)
$$
Furthermore, $p(x) \in(x)$, so
$$
p(x)=x h_2(x)
$$
So, $2 h(x)=x h_2(x)$, for some $h_2(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$. This means that $h(0)=0$, so $x$ divides $h(x)$; that is,
$$
h(x)=x q(x)
$$
for some $q(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$, and
$$
p(x)=2 x q(x)
$$
Thus, $p(x) \in(2 x)$, and
$$
\text { (2) } \cap(x) \subseteq(2 x)
$$
Finally,
(2) $\cap(x)=(2 x)$,
as required.

Suppose there is an ideal $M\subset I\subset R$. If $I\neq M$, then $I$ contains a unit, thus $I=R$. Therefore $M$ is a maximal ideal.
Suppose we have an arbitrary maximal ideal $M^\prime$ of $R$. The ideal $M^\prime$ cannot contain a unit, otherwise $M^\prime =R$. Therefore $M^\prime \subset M$. But we cannot have $M^\prime \subsetneq M \subsetneq R$, therefore $M=M^\prime$.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_1_1_22a | If $x$ and $g$ are elements of the group $G$, prove that $|x|=\left|g^{-1} x g\right|$. | \begin{proof}
First we prove a technical lemma:
{\bf Lemma.} For all $a, b \in G$ and $n \in \mathbb{Z},\left(b^{-1} a b\right)^n=b^{-1} a^n b$.
The statement is clear for $n=0$. We prove the case $n>0$ by induction; the base case $n=1$ is clear. Now suppose $\left(b^{-1} a b\right)^n=b^{-1} a^n b$ for some $n \geq 1$; then
$$
\left(b^{-1} a b\right)^{n+1}=\left(b^{-1} a b\right)\left(b^{-1} a b\right)^n=b^{-1} a b b^{-1} a^n b=b^{-1} a^{n+1} b .
$$
By induction the statement holds for all positive $n$.
Now suppose $n<0$; we have
$$
\left(b^{-1} a b\right)^n=\left(\left(b^{-1} a b\right)^{-n}\right)^{-1}=\left(b^{-1} a^{-n} b\right)^{-1}=b^{-1} a^n b .
$$
Hence, the statement holds for all integers $n$.
Now to the main result. Suppose first that $|x|$ is infinity and that $\left|g^{-1} x g\right|=n$ for some positive integer $n$. Then we have
$$
\left(g^{-1} x g\right)^n=g^{-1} x^n g=1,
$$
and multiplying on the left by $g$ and on the right by $g^{-1}$ gives us that $x^n=1$, a contradiction. Thus if $|x|$ is infinity, so is $\left|g^{-1} x g\right|$. Similarly, if $\left|g^{-1} x g\right|$ is infinite and $|x|=n$, we have
$$
\left(g^{-1} x g\right)^n=g^{-1} x^n g=g^{-1} g=1,
$$
a contradiction. Hence if $\left|g^{-1} x g\right|$ is infinite, so is $|x|$.
Suppose now that $|x|=n$ and $\left|g^{-1} x g\right|=m$ for some positive integers $n$ and $m$. We have
$$
\left(g^{-1} x g\right)^n=g^{-1} x^n g=g^{-1} g=1,
$$
So that $m \leq n$, and
$$
\left(g^{-1} x g\right)^m=g^{-1} x^m g=1,
$$
so that $x^m=1$ and $n \leq m$. Thus $n=m$.

However, recall that $n$ is by definition the least integer $k$ such that $x^k=1$, so we have a contradiction. Thus all the $x^i$, $0 \leq i \leq n-1$, are distinct. In particular, we have

Isomorphic groups necessarily have the same number of elements of order $n$ for all finite $n$.
Now let $x \in \mathbb{R}^{\times}$. If $x=1$ then $|x|=1$, and if $x=-1$ then $|x|=2$. If (with bars denoting absolute value) $|x|<1$, then we have
$$
1>|x|>\left|x^2\right|>\cdots,
$$
and in particular, $1>\left|x^n\right|$ for all $n$. So $x$ has infinite order in $\mathbb{R}^{\times}$.
Similarly, if $|x|>1$ (absolute value) then $x$ has infinite order in $\mathbb{R}^{\times}$. So $\mathbb{R}^{\times}$has 1 element of order 1,1 element of order 2 , and all other elements have infinite order.
In $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$, on the other hand, $i$ has order 4 . Thus $\mathbb{R}^{\times}$and $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$are not isomorphic.

Solution: Under these conditions, there exists a nonidentity element $x \in H$ and an element $y \notin H$. Consider the product $x y$. If $x y \in H$, then since $x^{-1} \in H$ and $H$ is a subgroup, $y \in H$, a contradiction. If $x y \notin H$, then we have $x y=y$. Thus $x=1$, a contradiction. Thus no such subgroup exists.

If $H=\{1\}$ then $H-\{1\}$ is the empty set which indeed generates the trivial subgroup $H$. So suppose $|H|>1$ and pick a nonidentity element $h \in H$. Since $1=h h^{-1} \in\langle H-\{1\}\rangle$ (Proposition 9), we see that $H \leq\langle H-\{1\}\rangle$. By minimality of $\langle H-\{1\}\rangle$, the reverse inclusion also holds so that $\langle H-\{1\}\rangle=$ $H$.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_2_4_16b | Show that the subgroup of all rotations in a dihedral group is a maximal subgroup. | \begin{proof}
Fix a positive integer $n>1$ and let $H \leq D_{2 n}$ consist of the rotations of $D_{2 n}$. That is, $H=\langle r\rangle$. Now, this subgroup is proper since it does not contain $s$. If $H$ is not maximal, then by the previous proof we know there is a maximal subset $K$ containing $H$. Then $K$ must contain a reflection $s r^k$ for $k \in\{0,1, \ldots, n-1\}$. Then since $s r^k \in K$ and $r^{n-k} \in K$, it follows by closure that
$$
s=\left(s r^k\right)\left(r^{n-k}\right) \in K .
$$
But $D_{2 n}=\langle r, s\rangle$, so this shows that $K=D_{2 n}$, which is a contradiction. Therefore $H$ must be maximal.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_3_1_3a | Let $A$ be an abelian group and let $B$ be a subgroup of $A$. Prove that $A / B$ is abelian. | \begin{proof}
Lemma: Let $G$ be a group. If $|G|=2$, then $G \cong Z_2$.
Proof: Since $G=\{e a\}$ has an identity element, say $e$, we know that $e e=e, e a=a$, and $a e=a$. If $a^2=a$, we have $a=e$, a contradiction. Thus $a^2=e$. We can easily see that $G \cong Z_2$.
If $A$ is abelian, every subgroup of $A$ is normal; in particular, $B$ is normal, so $A / B$ is a group. Now let $x B, y B \in A / B$. Then
$$
(x B)(y B)=(x y) B=(y x) B=(y B)(x B) .
$$
Hence $A / B$ is abelian.

Take an element $a$ in the intersection and an arbitrary element $g \in G$. Then $g a g^{-1} \in H_i$ because $H_i$ is normal for any $i \in H$
By the definition of the intersection, this shows that $g a g^{-1} \in \bigcap_{i \in I} H_i$ and therefore it is a normal subgroup.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_3_2_11 | Let $H \leq K \leq G$. Prove that $|G: H|=|G: K| \cdot|K: H|$ (do not assume $G$ is finite). | \begin{proof}
Proof. Let $G$ be a group and let $I$ be a nonempty set of indices, not necessarily countable. Consider the collection of subgroups $\left\{N_\alpha \mid \alpha \in I\right\}$, where $N_\alpha \unlhd G$ for each $\alpha \in I$. Let
$$
N=\bigcap_{\alpha \in I} N_\alpha .
$$
We know $N$ is a subgroup of $G$.
For any $g \in G$ and any $n \in N$, we must have $n \in N_\alpha$ for each $\alpha$. And since $N_\alpha \unlhd G$, we have $g n g^{-1} \in N_\alpha$ for each $\alpha$. Therefore $g n g^{-1} \in N$, which shows that $g N g^{-1} \subseteq N$ for each $g \in G$. As before, this is enough to complete the proof.

Solution: We begin with a lemma.
Lemma: If $D$ is a divisible abelian group, then no proper subgroup of $D$ has finite index.
Proof: We saw previously that no finite group is divisible and that every proper quotient $D / A$ of a divisible group is divisible; thus no proper quotient of a divisible group is finite. Equivalently, $[D: A]$ is not finite.
Because $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathbb{Q} / \mathbb{Z}$ are divisible, the conclusion follows.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_3_4_1 | Prove that if $G$ is an abelian simple group then $G \cong Z_{p}$ for some prime $p$ (do not assume $G$ is a finite group). | \begin{proof}
Solution: Let $G$ be an abelian simple group.
Suppose $G$ is infinite. If $x \in G$ is a nonidentity element of finite order, then $\langle x\rangle<G$ is a nontrivial normal subgroup, hence $G$ is not simple. If $x \in G$ is an element of infinite order, then $\left\langle x^2\right\rangle$ is a nontrivial normal subgroup, so $G$ is not simple.
Suppose $G$ is finite; say $|G|=n$. If $n$ is composite, say $n=p m$ for some prime $p$ with $m \neq 1$, then by Cauchy's Theorem $G$ contains an element $x$ of order $p$ and $\langle x\rangle$ is a nontrivial normal subgroup. Hence $G$ is not simple. Thus if $G$ is an abelian simple group, then $|G|=p$ is prime. We saw previously that the only such group up to isomorphism is $\mathbb{Z} /(p)$, so that $G \cong \mathbb{Z} /(p)$. Moreover, these groups are indeed simple.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_3_4_5a | Prove that subgroups of a solvable group are solvable. | \begin{proof}
Let $G$ be a solvable group and let $H \leq G$. Since $G$ is solvable, we may find a chain of subgroups
$$
1=G_0 \unlhd G_1 \unlhd G_2 \unlhd \cdots \unlhd G_n=G
$$
so that each quotient $G_{i+1} / G_i$ is abelian. For each $i$, define
$$
H_i=G_i \cap H, \quad 0 \leq i \leq n .
$$
Then $H_i \leq H_{i+1}$ for each $i$. Moreover, if $g \in H_{i+1}$ and $x \in H_i$, then in particular $g \in G_{i+1}$ and $x \in G_i$, so that
$$
g x g^{-1} \in G_i
$$
because $G_i \unlhd G_{i+1}$. But $g$ and $x$ also belong to $H$, so
$$
g x g^{-1} \in H_i,
$$
which shows that $H_i \unlhd H_{i+1}$ for each $i$.
Next, note that
$$
H_i=G_i \cap H=\left(G_i \cap G_{i+1}\right) \cap H=G_i \cap H_{i+1} .
$$
By the Second Isomorphism Theorem, we then have
$$
H_{i+1} / H_i=H_{i+1} /\left(H_{i+1} \cap G_i\right) \cong H_{i+1} G_i / G_i \leq G_{i+1} / G_i .
$$
Since $H_{i+1} / H_i$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of the abelian group $G_{i+1} / G_i$, it follows that $H_{i+1} / H_i$ is also abelian. This completes the proof that $H$ is solvable.

Suppose $H$ is a nontrivial normal subgroup of the solvable group $G$.
First, notice that $H$, being a subgroup of a solvable group, is itself solvable. By exercise $8, H$ has a chain of subgroups
$$
1 \leq H_1 \leq \ldots \leq H
$$
such that each $H_i$ is a normal subgroup of $H$ itself and $H_{i+1} / H_i$ is abelian. But then the first group in the series

Dummit-Foote|exercise_4_3_26 | Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on the finite set $A$ with $|A|>1$. Show that there is some $\sigma \in G$ such that $\sigma(a) \neq a$ for all $a \in A$. | \begin{proof}
Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on the finite set $A,|A|>1$. We want to find an element $\sigma$ which doesn't stabilize anything, that is, we want a $\sigma$ such that
$$
\sigma \notin G_a
$$
for all $a \in A$.
Since the group is transitive, there is always a $g \in G$ such that $b=g \cdot a$. Let us see in what relationship the stabilizers of $a$ and $b$ are. We find
$$
\begin{aligned}
G_b & =\{h \in G \mid h \cdot b=b\} \\
& =\{h \in G \mid h g \cdot a=g \cdot a\} \\
& =\left\{h \in G \mid g^{-1} h g \cdot a=a\right\}
\end{aligned}
$$
Putting $h^{\prime}=g^{-1} h g$, we have $h=g h^{\prime} g^{-1}$ and
$$
\begin{aligned}
G_b & =g\left\{h^{\prime} \in H \mid h^{\prime} \cdot a=a\right\} g^{-1} \\
& =g G_a g^{-1}
\end{aligned}
$$
By the above, the stabilizer subgroup of any element is conjugate to some other stabilizer subgroup. Now, the stabilizer cannot be all of $G$ (else $\{a\}$ would be a orbit). Thus it is a proper subgroup of $G$. By the previous exercise, we have
$$
\bigcup_{a \in A} G_a=\bigcup_{g \in G} g G_a g^{-1} \subset G
$$
(the union of conjugates of a proper subgroup can never be all of $G$ ). This shows there is an element $\sigma$ which is not in any stabilizer of any element of $A$. Then $\sigma(a) \neq a$ for all $a \in A$, as we wanted to show.

Let $|G|=p q r$. We also assume $p<q<r$. We prove that $G$ has a normal Sylow subgroup of $p$, $q$ or $r$. Now, Let $n_p, n_q, n_r$ be the number of Sylow-p subgroup, Sylow-q subgroup, Sylow-r subgroup resp. So, we have $n_r=1+r k$ such that $1+r k \mid p q$. So, in this case as $r$ is greatest $n_r$ can be 1 or $p q$. We assume $n_r=p q$. Now we have $n_q=1+q k$ such that $1+q k \mid p r$. Now,as $p<q<r, n_q$ can be 1 or $r$, or $p r$. Assume that $n_q=r$. Now we turn to $n_p$. Again my similar method we can conclude $n_p$ can be $1, q, r$, or $q r$. We assume that $n_p$ is $q$. Now we count the number of elements of order $p, q, r$. Since $n_r=p q$, the number of elements of order $r$ is $p q(r-1)$. Since $n_q=r$, the number of elements of order $q$ is $(q-1) r$. And as $n_p=q$, the number of elements of order $p$ is $(p-1) q$. So, in total we get $p q(r-1)+(q-1) r+(p-$ 1) $q=p q r+q r-r-q=p q r+r(q-1)-r$. But observe that as $q>1, r(q-1)-r>$ 0 . So the number of elements exceeds $p q r$. So, it proves that atleast $n_p$ or $n_q$ or $n_r$ is 1, which ultimately proves the result, because a unique Sylow-p subgroup is always normal.

The number of Sylow 5-subgroups of $G$ is of the form $1+k \cdot 5$, i.e., $n_5 \equiv 1(\bmod 5)$ and $n_5$ divides 8 . The only such number that divides 8 and equals $1 (\bmod 5)$ is 1 so $n_5=1$. Hence $P$ is the unique Sylow 5-subgroup.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_4_5_22 | Prove that if $|G|=132$ then $G$ is not simple. | \begin{proof}
Since $|G|=132=2^{2}.3.11$, $G$ has $2-$Sylow subgroup of order $4$, as well as $11-$Sylow subgroup of order $11$, and $3-$Sylow subgroup of order $3$. Now, we count the number of such subgroups. Let $n_{11}$ be the number of $11-$Sylow subgroup and $n_{3}$ be the number of $3-$Sylow subgroup. Now $n_{11}=1+11k$ where $1+11k|12$. The choices for $k$ are $0$ or $1$. If $k=0$, there is only one $11-$Sylow subgroup and hence normal. So, assume now, that there are $12$ $11-$Sylow subgroup(for $k=1$). Now we look at $3-$ Sylow subgroups. $n_{3}=1+3k| 44$. So choice for $k$ are $0$, $1$, and $7$. If $k=0$, there is only one $3-$Sylow subgroup and hence normal. So, assume now, that there are $4$ $2-$Sylow subgroup (for $k=3$). Now we claim that simultaneously, there cannot be $12$ $11-$Sylow subgroup and $4$ $3-$Sylow subgroups provided there is more than one $2-$Sylow subgroups. So, either $2-$Sylow subgroup is normal or if not, then, either $11-$Sylow subgroup is normal being unique, or the $3-$Sylow subgroup is normal(We don't consider the possibility of $22$ $3-$Sylow subgroup because of obvious reason). Now, to prove the claim, we observe that there are $120$ elements of order $11$. Also there are $8$ elements of order $3$. So we already get $120+8+1=129$ distinct elements in the group. Let us count the number of $2-$Sylow subgroups in $G$. $n_{2}=1+2k|33$. The possibilities for $k$ are $0$, $1$, $5$, $16$. Now, assume there is more than one $2-$Sylow subgroups. Let $H_{1}$ and $H_{2}$ be two distinct $2-$Sylow subgroup. Now $|H_{1}|=4$. So we already get $129+3=132$ distinct elements in the group. Now $H_{2}$ being distinct from $H_{1}$, has at least one element which is not in $H_{1}$. This adds one more element in the group, at the least. Now already we have number of elements in the group exceeding the number of element in $G$. This gives a contradiction and proves the claim.
Hence $G$ is not simple.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_4_5_28 | Let $G$ be a group of order 105. Prove that if a Sylow 3-subgroup of $G$ is normal then $G$ is abelian. | \begin{proof}
Given that $G$ is a group of order $1575=3^2 .5^2 .7$. Now, Let $n_p$ be the number of Sylow-p subgroups. It is given that Sylow-3 subgroup is normal and hence is unique, so $n_3=1$. First we prove that both Sylow-5 subgroup and Sylow 7-subgroup are normal. Let $P$ be the Sylow3 subgroup. Now, Consider $G / P$, which has order $5^2 .7$. Now, the number of Sylow $-5$ subgroup of $G / P$ is given by $1+5 k$, where $1+5 k \mid 7$. Clearly $k=0$ is the only choice and hence there is a unique Sylow-5 subgroup of $G / P$, and hence normal. In the same way Sylow-7 subgroup of $G / P$ is also unique and hence normal. Consider now the canonical map $\pi: G \rightarrow G / P$. The inverse image of Sylow-5 subgroup of $G / P$ under $\pi$, call it $H$, is a normal subgroup of $G$, and $|H|=3^2 .5^2$. Similarly, the inverse image of Sylow-7 subgroup of $G / P$ under $\pi$ call it $K$ is also normal in $G$ and $|K|=3^2 .7$. Now, consider $H$. Observe first that the number of Sylow-5 subgroup in $H$ is $1+5 k$ such that $1+5 k \mid 9$. Again $k=0$ and hence $H$ has a unique Sylow-5 subgroup, call it $P_1$. But, it is easy to see that $P_1$ is also a Sylow-5 subgroup of $G$, because $\left|P_1\right|=25$. But now any other Sylow 5 subgroup of $G$ is of the form $g P_1 g^{-1}$ for some $g \in G$. But observe that since $P_1 \subset H$ and $H$ is normal in $G$, so $g P_1 g^1 \subset H$, and $g P_1 g^{-1}$ is also Sylow-5 subgroup of $H$. But, then as Sylow-5 subgroup of $H$ is unique we have $g P_1 g^{-1}=P_1$. This shows that Sylow-5 subgroup of $G$ is unique and hence normal in $G$.
Similarly, one can argue the same for $K$ and deduce that Sylow-7 subgroup of $G$ is unique and hence normal. So, the first part of the problem is done.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_5_4_2 | Prove that a subgroup $H$ of $G$ is normal if and only if $[G, H] \leq H$. | \begin{proof}
$H \unlhd G$ is equivalent to $g^{-1} h g \in H, \forall g \in G, \forall h \in H$. We claim that holds if and only if $h^{-1} g^{-1} h g \in H, \forall g \in G, \forall h \in H$, i.e., $\left\{h^{-1} g^{-1} h g: h \in H, g \in G\right\} \subseteq H$. That holds by the following argument:
If $g^{-1} h g \in H, \forall g \in G, \forall h \in H$, note that $h^{-1} \in H$, so multiplying them, we also obtain an element of $H$.
On the other hand, if $h^{-1} g^{-1} h g \in H, \forall g \in G, \forall h \in H$, then
$$
h h^{-1} g^{-1} h g=g^{-1} h g \in H, \forall g \in G, \forall h \in H .
$$
Since $\left\{h^{-1} g^{-1} h g: h \in H, g \in G\right\} \subseteq H \Leftrightarrow\left\langle\left\{h^{-1} g^{-1} h g: h \in H, g \in G\right\}\right\rangle \leq H$, we've solved the exercise by definition of $[H, G]$.

Solution: If $x^2=1$, then $x^2-1=0$. Evidently, then,
$$
(x-1)(x+1)=0 .

Since $R$ is an integral domain, we must have $x-1=0$ or $x+1=0$; thus $x=1$ or $x=-1$.

Solution: Note first that for all $a \in R$,
$$
-a=(-a)^2=(-1)^2 a^2=a^2=a .
$$
Now if $a, b \in R$, we have
$$
a+b=(a+b)^2=a^2+a b+b a+b^2=a+a b+b a+b .
$$
Thus $a b+b a=0$, and we have $a b=-b a$. But then $a b=b a$. Thus $R$ is commutative.

Let $M=\sum_{i=1}^n r_i g_i$ be an element of $R[G]$. Note that for each $g_i \in G$, the action of $g_i$ on $G$ by conjugation permutes the subscripts. Then we have the following.

&=\left(\sum_{j=1}^n r_j g_j\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^n g_i\right) \\

Thus $N \in Z(R[G])$.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_7_3_37 | An ideal $N$ is called nilpotent if $N^{n}$ is the zero ideal for some $n \geq 1$. Prove that the ideal $p \mathbb{Z} / p^{m} \mathbb{Z}$ is a nilpotent ideal in the ring $\mathbb{Z} / p^{m} \mathbb{Z}$. | \begin{proof}
First we prove a lemma.
Lemma: Let $R$ be a ring, and let $I_1, I_2, J \subseteq R$ be ideals such that $J \subseteq I_1, I_2$. Then $\left(I_1 / J\right)\left(I_2 / J\right)=I_1 I_2 / J$.
Proof: ( $\subseteq$ ) Let
$$
\alpha=\sum\left(x_i+J\right)\left(y_i+J\right) \in\left(I_1 / J\right)\left(I_2 / J\right) .
$$
Then
$$
\alpha=\sum\left(x_i y_i+J\right)=\left(\sum x_i y_i\right)+J \in\left(I_1 I_2\right) / J .
$$
Now let $\alpha=\left(\sum x_i y_i\right)+J \in\left(I_1 I_2\right) / J$. Then
$$
\alpha=\sum\left(x_i+J\right)\left(y_i+J\right) \in\left(I_1 / J\right)\left(I_2 / J\right) .
$$
From this lemma and the lemma to Exercise 7.3.36, it follows by an easy induction that
$$
\left(p \mathbb{Z} / p^m \mathbb{Z}\right)^m=(p \mathbb{Z})^m / p^m \mathbb{Z}=p^m \mathbb{Z} / p^m \mathbb{Z} \cong 0 .
$$
Thus $p \mathbb{Z} / p^m \mathbb{Z}$ is nilpotent in $\mathbb{Z} / p^m \mathbb{Z}$.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_8_3_4 | Prove that if an integer is the sum of two rational squares, then it is the sum of two integer squares. | \begin{proof}
Let $n=\frac{a^2}{b^2}+\frac{c^2}{d^2}$, or, equivalently, $n(b d)^2=a^2 d^2+c^2 b^2$. From this, we see that $n(b d)^2$ can be written as a sum of two squared integers. Therefore, if $q \equiv 3(\bmod 4)$ and $q^i$ appears in the prime power factorization of $n, i$ must be even. Let $j \in \mathbb{N} \cup\{0\}$ such that $q^j$ divides $b d$. Then $q^{i-2 j}$ divides $n$. But since $i$ is even, $i-2 j$ is even as well. Consequently, $n$ can be written as a sum of two squared integers.

Let $a+b i \in \mathbb{Z}[i]$. If $a \equiv b \bmod 2$, then $a+b$ and $b-a$ are even and $(1+i)\left(\frac{a+b}{2}+\frac{b-a}{2} i\right)=a+b i \in\langle 1+i\rangle$. If $a \not \equiv b \bmod 2$ then $a-1+b i \in\langle 1+i\rangle$. Therefore every element of $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ is in either $\langle 1+i\rangle$ or $1+\langle 1+i\rangle$, so $\mathbb{Z}[i] /\langle 1+i\rangle$ is a finite ring of order 2 , which must be a field.

Dummit-Foote|exercise_9_1_6 | Prove that $(x, y)$ is not a principal ideal in $\mathbb{Q}[x, y]$. | \begin{proof}
Suppose, to the contrary, that $(x, y)=p$ for some polynomial $p \in \mathbb{Q}[x, y]$. From $x, y \in$ $(x, y)=(p)$ there are $s, t \in \mathbb{Q}[x, y]$ such that $x=s p$ and $y=t p$.
Then:
$$
\begin{aligned}
& 0=\operatorname{deg}_y(x)=\operatorname{deg}_y(s)+\operatorname{deg}_y(p) \text { so } \\
& 0=\operatorname{deg}_y(p) \\
& 0=\operatorname{deg}_x(y)=\operatorname{deg}_x(s)+\operatorname{deg}_x(p) \text { so } \\
& 0=\operatorname{deg}_x(p) \text { so }
\end{aligned}
$$
From : $\quad 0=\operatorname{deg}_y(p)=\operatorname{deg}_x(p)$ we get $\operatorname{deg}(p)=0$ and $p \in \mathbb{Q}$.
But $p \in(p)=(x, y)$ so $p=a x+b y$ for some $a, b \in \mathbb{Q}[x, y]$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\operatorname{deg}(p) & =\operatorname{deg}(a x+b y) \\
& =\min (\operatorname{deg}(a)+\operatorname{deg}(x), \operatorname{deg}(b)+\operatorname{deg}(y)) \\
& =\min (\operatorname{deg}(a)+1, \operatorname{deg}(b)+1) \geqslant 1
\end{aligned}
$$
which contradicts $\operatorname{deg}(p)=0$.
So we conclude that $(x, y)$ is not principal ideal in $\mathbb{Q}[x, y]$

Let $f(x), g(x) \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ be such that $f(x) g(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$.
By Gauss' Lemma there exists $r, s \in \mathbb{Q}$ such that $r f(x), s g(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$, and $(r f(x))(s g(x))=r s f(x) g(x)=f(x) g(x)$. From this last relation we can conclude that $s=r^{-1}$.
Therefore for any coefficient $f_i$ of $f(x)$ and $g_j$ of $g(x)$ we have that $r f_i, r^{-1} g_j \in$ $\mathbb{Z}$ and by multiplicative closure and commutativity of $\mathbb{Z}$ we have that $r f_i r^{-1} g_j=$ $f_i g_j \in \mathbb{Z}$
