Isomorphic PDF

This document provides homework problems involving abelian groups of various orders. It asks the student to find all abelian groups of given orders up to isomorphism, determine the maximum possible order of elements in each group, and identify isomorphic and non-isomorphic abelian groups. Justifications are required for some problems involving determining whether groups are isomorphic.

HOMEWORK 7 (BONUS!

) (DUE: 11:15 AM, OCT 31 WED)

1. [Sar08, Exercise 14.1] and [Fra02, Exercise 11.21–25] Find, up to isomorphism, all abelian
groups of order:

(a) 32 (b) 48 (c) 72 (d) 84 (e) 450 (f) 720 (g) 1089

Also, find the maximum possible order for some element in each group. You do not need
to justify your answer.

For brevity, we write (a1 , a2 , . . . , ar ) instead of Za1 × Za2 × · · · Zar . Thus for example
we have (3, 4) = (12). Also we write [(a1 , a2 , . . . , ar ), n] if the maximum possible
order for some element in Za1 × Za2 × · · · Zar is n.
(a) [(2, 2, 2, 2, 2), 2], [(2, 2, 2, 4), 4], [(2, 4, 4), 4],

[(8, 3, 3) = (3, 24), 24], [(8, 9) = (72), 72]
(d) [(2, 2, 3, 7) = (2, 42), 42], [(4, 3, 7) = (84), 84]

[(2, 9, 5, 5) = (5, 90), 90], [(2, 9, 25) = (450), 450]
(f) [(2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5) = (2, 2, 6, 30), 30], [(2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 5) = (2, 2, 2, 90), 90],

[(16, 3, 3, 5) = (3, 240), 240], [(16, 9, 5) = (720), 720]
(g) [(3, 3, 11, 11) = (33, 33), 33], [(3, 3, 121) = (3, 363), 363],

(a) Let p be a prime number. Find the number of abelian groups, up to isomorphism, of
order pn when n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Answer: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22

(b) Let p, q, r be distinct prime numbers. Find the number of abelian groups, up to
isomorphism, of order:
i. p3 q 4 r7 ii. (qr)7 iii. p5 q 4 r3 .

i. 3 · 5 · 15 = 225 ii. 15 · 15 = 225 iii. 7 · 5 · 3 = 105

3. [Fra02, Exercise 11.10] Find all subgroups of Z2 × Z2 × Z2 . You do not need to justify
your answer.

{(0, 0, 0)}, {(0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0)}, {(0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0)}, {(0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1)},

{(0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 1), (1, 0, 0), (1, 1, 1)}, Z2 × Z2 × Z2

4. [Fra02, Exercise 11.15–20] Here you need to justify your answer.


(a) Are the groups Z2 × Z12 and Z4 × Z6 isomorphic? Why or why not?

They are isomorphic since Z2 × Z12 ' Z2 × Z4 × Z3 ' Z4 × Z6 .

(b) Are the groups Z8 × Z10 × Z24 and Z4 × Z12 × Z40 isomorphic? Why or why not?

They are not isomorphic since


Z8 × Z10 × Z24 ' Z2 × Z8 × Z8 × Z3 × Z5 ,
Z4 × Z12 × Z40 ' Z4 × Z4 × Z8 × Z3 × Z5
and these two expressions are different.

(c) Are the groups Z4 × Z18 × Z15 and Z3 × Z36 × Z10 isomorphic? Why or why not?

They are isomorphic since they are both isomorphic to Z2 × Z4 × Z3 × Z9 × Z5 .
