Hey,

I need help with part D2. My explanation is not right so I honestly do not know what I am suppose to write. My assignment is attached to this thread.

The columns of $D$ can be determined by using any two of the other vertices of the parallelogram.
It would be wrong to choose $(8,6)$ as a column, so not all of the remaining three vertices can serve as columns. Let $O$ be the origin, $A(1,0)$, $B(1,1)$ and $C(0,1)$. Let also $A'(2,2)$, $B'(8,6)$ and $C'(6,4)$. Then $D$ should map $\overrightarrow{OA}$ to $\overrightarrow{OA'}$ and $\overrightarrow{OC}$ to $\overrightarrow{OC'}$. Then $\overrightarrow{OB}=\overrightarrow{OA}+\overrightarrow{OC}$ will automatically be mapped to $\overrightarrow{OA'}+\overrightarrow{OC'}=\overrightarrow{OB'}$. Alternatively, $\overrightarrow{OA}$ can be mapped to $\overrightarrow{OC'}$ and $\overrightarrow{OC}$ to $\overrightarrow{OA'}$; the location of $B'$ will be the same. In the first scenario
\[
D\begin{pmatrix}1\\0\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}2\\2\end{pmatrix},
\]
so the first column of $D$ is $(2,2)$. Also
\[
D\begin{pmatrix}0\\1\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}6\\4\end{pmatrix},
\]
so the second column of $D$ is $(6,4)$. In the second scenario the columns are swapped.

But if, say, $D=\begin{pmatrix}2&8\\2&6\end{pmatrix}$, then $D$ maps $\overrightarrow{OA}$ to $\overrightarrow{OA'}$ and $\overrightarrow{OC}$ to $\overrightarrow{OB'}$. In this case, $\overrightarrow{OB}=\overrightarrow{OA}+\overrightarrow{OC}$ will be mapped to $\overrightarrow{OA'}+\overrightarrow{OB'}$, and the coordinates of the resulting vector, i.e., the coordinates of the image of $B$, are $(10,8)$, which is incorrect.
 
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
