Exercises
E:
Consider a G-set X, a normal subgroup U lefttriangleeq G, and the corresponding
restriction UX. Check the following facts:
- For each orbit U(x) and any g ÎG, the set
gU(x) is also an orbit of
U on X.
- The orbits of U on X form a G/U-set, in a natural way.
- The orbits of G/U on U \\X are just the orbits of G on
X.
- The U-orbits which belong to the same G-orbit are of the same
order.
E:
Prove that the number of Sylow p-subgroups divides the order of G
and is congruent 1 modulo p, for each prime divisor of the order of G.
E:
Prove the statements of the example.
E:
Show that E bar (G) is normal in bar (H) bar (G) and in [ bar (H)] bar (G), and that bar (H) bar (G) is not in general normal in
[ bar (H)] bar (G). Check that the factor group bar (H) bar (G)/E bar (G) is isomorphic to bar (H), while [ bar (H)] bar (G)/[ bar (H)] bar (E)
is isomorphic to bar (G). What does
this mean,
in the light of exercise, for the enumeration of the orbits of
bar (H) bar (G) and [ bar (H)] bar (G)?
E:
Check the lemma above.
