Can anybody help me out?
"Let G be a cyclic group of order 7. Determine the number of homomorphisms from G to [itex]S_7[/itex]"
I know the definition of a cyclic group. It's a group generated by a single element. The order 7 means that [itex] g^7 = e [/itex] for g within G.
I understand that a homomorphism is defined by [itex] \Psi (ab) = \Psi(a)\Psi(b)[/itex] for a, b that exist in G. [itex] \Psi : G \rightarrow S_7 [/itex]
My main problem is, I can't put this all together and answer the question!
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated
