Exercise 7.4.6

In the situation of Exercise 4, let G = { g 1 , , g n } , and assume that g i g j = g k . Let σ i , σ j , σ k S n be the corresponding permutations determined by (7.19).

(a)
Prove that σ i σ j = σ k .
(b)
Prove that the map G S n defined by g i σ i is a one-to-one group homomorphism.

Answers

Proof. We have carefully proved in Exercise 4 that χ = ψ ϕ : G S n , g i σ i is an injective group homomorphism (so if g k = g i g j , σ k = σ i σ j ). □
