#ATTENDANCE QUIZ FOR LECTURE 10 of Dr. Z.'s Math454(02) Rutgers University # Please Edit this .txt page with Answers #Email ShaloshBEkhad@gmail.com #Subject: p10 #with an attachment called #p10FirstLast.txt #(e.g. p10DoronZeilberger.txt) #Right after finishing watching the lecture but no later than Oct. 9, 2020, 8:00pm THE NUMBER OF ATTENDANCE QUESTIONS WERE: 6 PLEASE LIST ALL THE QUESTIONS FOLLOWED, AFTER EACH BY THE ANSWER #ATTENDANCE Q. #1 for LECTURE 10 #Find P2*P1, are they the same? #ANSWER to Q. #1: 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 [ ] * [ ] = [ ] 4 1 2 3 5 2 1 5 3 4 3 2 1 5 4 # P1*P2 was 14523, and P2*P1 is 32154, and so they are not the same #ATTENDANCE Q. #2 for LECTURE 10 #In your own words, explain why if the order of pi is k then |GG({pi})| = k #ANSWER to Q. #2: This is likely because GG achieves all the unique subgroups, which can involve # going through all of the different subgroup permutations such that those # subgroups do satisfy the conditions of being a group. Then, it is possible # to go through the cycle of all those unique subgroups, but at some point # you'll end up at the identity permutation again, and after that there are # no more unique permutations (since you're starting a functional cycle again), # and so it gives the same number as the Order of pi, which is the smallest # number m for which (pi)^m is the identity permutation. #ATTENDANCE Q. #3 for LECTURE 10 #Prove that if H is a subgroup of a group G, then |G|/|H| is always an integer (can look up) #ANSWER to Q. #3: I found a proof on Wikipedia, and overall it establishes an equivalence # relation with particular elements in H and G such that (x and y in G, h # in H), x=yh. Then these "left cosets" form a partition of G, and then # it is true that each left coset aH has the same cardinality as H because # of the bijection H --> aH from x --> ax, and then they conclude that # |G| = [G:H]*|H| where the index [G:H] is the number of left cosets. #ATTENDANCE Q. #4 for LECTURE 10 #Whose theorem is it? #ANSWER to Q. #4: This is Lagrange's theorem. #ATTENDANCE Q. #5 for LECTURE 10 #Find cycle representation of a randperm(9), check with PtoC(pi) #ANSWER to Q. #5: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 # [3, 8, 4, 9, 1, 5, 6, 7, 2] # # 1->3->4->9->2->8->7->6->5->1 CYCLES are (134928765) # This is the same as PtoC(pi). #ATTENDANCE Q. #6 for LECTURE 10 #Check that the range of FunT over all permutations of length 7 is the same thing as #the set of permutations of length 7 #ANSWER to Q. #6: Yes, they are the same. This can be found by writing a quick proc # that adds elements FunT(permute(7)) into a set, and then finding # the set subtraction of that set minus the set of permutations of # length 7, to get {} as the answer, meaning they have the same items.
