Problem 5.2.3 (Lists of elementary divisors)

In each of parts (a) to (e) give the lists of elementary divisors for all abelian groups of the specified order and then match each list with the corresponding list of invariant factors found in the preceding exercise:

(a) order 270 , (b) order 9801 , (c) order 320 , (d) order 105, (e) order 44100 .

Answers

Proof.

The answers are obtained with the method “ abelian _ groups ( n ) ” given in the previous exercise (with the invariant factors in the second column).

(a)
n = 270 = 2 ⋅ 3 3 ⋅ 5 . Z 2 × Z 3 3 × Z 5 , [ 2 ⋅ 3 3 ⋅ 5 ] , Z 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 3 × Z 5 , [ 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 , 3 ] , Z 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 [ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 , 3 , 3 ] .
(b)
n = 9801 = 3 4 ⋅ 1 1 2 . Z 3 4 × Z 1 1 2 [ 3 4 ⋅ 1 1 2 ] Z 3 4 × Z 11 × Z 11 [ 3 4 ⋅ 11 , 11 ] Z 3 3 × Z 3 × Z 1 1 2 [ 3 3 ⋅ 1 1 2 , 3 ] Z 3 3 × Z 3 × Z 11 × Z 11 [ 3 3 ⋅ 11 , 3 ⋅ 11 ] | Z 3 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 1 1 2 [ 3 2 ⋅ 1 1 2 , 3 2 ] Z 3 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 11 × Z 11 [ 3 2 ⋅ 11 , 3 2 ⋅ 11 ] Z 3 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 1 1 2 [ 3 2 ⋅ 1 1 2 , 3 , 3 ] Z 3 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 11 × Z 11 [ 3 2 ⋅ 11 , 3 ⋅ 11 , 3 ] Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 1 1 2 [ 3 ⋅ 1 1 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 ] Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 11 × Z 11 [ 3 ⋅ 11 , 3 ⋅ 11 , 3 , 3 ]
(c)
n = 320 = 2 6 ⋅ 5 . Z 2 6 × Z 5 [ 2 6 ⋅ 5 ] Z 2 5 × Z 2 × Z 5 [ 2 5 ⋅ 5 , 2 ] Z 2 4 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 5 [ 2 4 ⋅ 5 , 2 2 ] Z 2 3 × Z 2 3 × Z 5 [ 2 4 ⋅ 5 , 2 , 2 ] Z 2 3 × Z 2 2 × Z 2 × Z 5 [ 2 3 ⋅ 5 , 2 3 ] Z 2 3 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 5 [ 2 3 ⋅ 5 , 2 , 2 , 2 ] Z 2 2 × Z 2 2 × Z 2 2 × Z 5 [ 2 2 ⋅ 5 , 2 2 , 2 2 ] Z 2 2 × Z 2 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 5 [ 2 2 ⋅ 5 , 2 2 , 2 , 2 ] Z 2 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 5 [ 2 2 ⋅ 5 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 5 [ 2 ⋅ 5 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 ]
(d)
n = 105 = 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 .

Z 3 × Z 5 × Z 7 [ 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 ]
(e)
n = 44100 = 2 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 2 Z 2 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 5 2 × Z 7 2 [ 2 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 2 ] Z 2 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 5 2 × Z 7 × Z 7 [ 2 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 , 7 ] Z 2 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 5 × Z 5 × Z 7 2 [ 2 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 2 , 5 ] Z 2 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 5 × Z 5 × Z 7 × Z 7 [ 2 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 , 5 ⋅ 7 ] Z 2 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 2 × Z 7 2 [ 2 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 2 , 3 ] Z 2 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 2 × Z 7 × Z 7 [ 2 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 , 3 ⋅ 7 ] Z 2 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 × Z 5 × Z 7 2 [ 2 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 2 , 3 ⋅ 5 ] Z 2 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 × Z 5 × Z 7 × Z 7 [ 2 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 , 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 5 2 × Z 7 2 [ 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 2 , 2 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 5 2 × Z 7 × Z 7 [ 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 , 2 ⋅ 7 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 5 × Z 5 × Z 7 2 [ 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 2 , 2 ⋅ 5 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 3 2 × Z 5 × Z 5 × Z 7 × Z 7 [ 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 , 2 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 2 × Z 7 2 [ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 2 , 2 ⋅ 3 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 2 × Z 7 × Z 7 [ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 2 ⋅ 7 , 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 7 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 × Z 5 × Z 7 2 [ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 2 , 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 ] Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 3 × Z 3 × Z 5 × Z 5 × Z 7 × Z 7 [ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 , 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 ]
