MHB Show that the abelian groups are isomorphic

buckylomax · Aug 3, 2012

Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out this question:

Let A=[a_ij] be a 3x3 matrix with integer entries and let B=[b_ij] be it’s transpose. Let P and Q be the Abelian groups represented by A and B respectively. Show that P and Q are isomorphic by comparing the effects of row and column operations on A and B.

I've very stuck with this question. I figure I need to reduce both matrices to diagonal form and then compare them but I'm not sure how to get there. Any advices would be appreciated.

Thanks

B.

Can you be more precise about what you mean by "the Abelian groups represented by A and B"?
