Z_2[u]/<u^4+u+1> isomorphism Z_2[u]/<u^4+u^3+u^2+u+1> Homework Statement How to figure an isomorphism from Z_2[u]/<u^4 + u +1> to Z_2[u]/<u^4 + u^3 + u^2 + u + 1> What I can now show (after a page and a half of work) is that the two polynomials generating the ideals are irreducible...

Homework Statement can someone explain the 1st isomorphism theorem to me(in simple words) i really don't get it Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

The question is this: How many isomorphisms f are there from G to G' if G and G' are cyclic groups of order 8? My thoughts: Since f is an isomorphism, we know that it prserves the identity, so f:e-->e', e identity in G, e' identity in G'. Also f preserves the order of each element...

Homework Statement Is there an isomorphism from <R,+> to <R+,\times> where \phi(r)=0.5^{r} when r \in R? [b]2. Homework Equations For an isomorphism I know it is necessary to show there is a 1-1 and onto function. I am unsure if I can use the steps I am trying to use to show it is 1-1...

Given two left adjoints F,H:\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D} of a functor G:\mathcal{D}\to\mathcal{C}, how do we show that F and H are naturally isomorphic? This is my idea so far (I am working with the Hom-set defenition of adjunction): We need to construct a natural isomorphism \alpha. So, for...

I am trying to prove that the additive groups \mathbb{Z} and \mathbb{Q} are not isomorphic. I know it is not enough to show that there are maps such as, [tex]f:\mathbb{Q}\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}[/itex] where the input of the function, some f(x=\frac{a}{b}), will not be in the group of integers...

Can anyone tell me clearly what the criteria for isomorphism in linear algebra is? For instance, my book gives the following reason: Transformation T is not isomoprhic because T((t-1)(t-3)) = T(t^2 - 4t +3) = zero vector. I don't get why this means T is not an isomorphism. Can anyone...

I am having a very hard time with a general concept of proving something. If I have some arbitrary function mapping one ring, let's say R, to another ring, S, and want to prove that R is isomorphic to S, then I need to show that there exists a bijective homomorphism between R and S. But how do I...

Hi. Hoping a could have a little bit of guidance with this question Show that U(8) is not isomorphic to U(10) So far, I've realized that in U(8) each element is it's own inverse while in U(10) 3 and 7 are inverses of each other. I guess that's really all I need to say that they aren't...

Suppose A\subset\mathfrak{g} and I\subset\mathfrak{g} are subalgebras of some Lie algebra, and I is an ideal. Is there something wrong with an isomorphism (A+I)/I \simeq A/I, a+i+I=a+I\mapsto a+I, for a\in A and i\in I? I cannot see what could be wrong, but all texts always give a theorem...

Hi, I am trying to prove a claim about order isomorphisms (similarity) between well ordered sets. I have an argument for it, but it seems needlessly complicated and I was wondering if anyone might have a simpler proof. Before stating the claim and my proof, I will define a few things: 1. A...

Hi everyone. I have two questions that I hope you can help me with. First when trying to show isomorphism between groups is it enough to show that the order of each element within the group is the same in the other group? For example the groups (Z/14Z)* and (Z/9Z)*. They are both of order...

How do I find an isomorphism between Sn+m and Zn x Zm? provided n,m are not relatively prime? Thanks.

In general if two finite sets contain exactly the same number of unique elements than the two sets are isomorphic to each other. Is this correct? An isomorphism => both 1-1 and onto. If two sets both have an equal number of unique elements than they must be onto because every element in one set...
