Recently Asked Abstract Algebra Questions

Q1: Prove that the set of integers under addition is a group.

See Answer

The set of integers Z under addition forms a group because it satisfies closure, associativity, has an identity element (0), and each element has an inverse (-n for any n).

Q2: Show that the group of non-zero rational numbers under multiplication is abelian.

See Answer

The group of non-zero rational numbers under multiplication is abelian because for any two elements a, b ∈ Q*, ab = ba, thus satisfying commutativity.

Q3: Define a ring and give an example of a commutative ring with unity.

See Answer

A ring is a set equipped with two binary operations: addition and multiplication, satisfying ring axioms. An example of a commutative ring with unity is the set of integers Z.

Q4: Prove that the identity element in a group is unique.

See Answer

Assume there are two identity elements, e and e'. By definition of identity, e * e' = e and e * e' = e'. Hence, e = e', proving the identity is unique.

Q5: Let G be a group and a ∈ G. Show that the inverse of a is unique.

See Answer

Suppose a has two inverses, b and c. Then, b = b * e = b * (a * c) = (b * a) * c = e * c = c. Therefore, the inverse of a is unique.

Q6: Prove that the set of even integers under addition forms a subgroup of the group of integers under addition.

See Answer

The set of even integers is closed under addition, contains the identity element 0, and for every even integer, its inverse (negative) is also an even integer. Therefore, it forms a subgroup.

Q7: Is the set of 2x2 matrices with determinant 1 a group under matrix multiplication?

See Answer

Yes, the set of 2x2 matrices with determinant 1, called SL(2, R), forms a group under matrix multiplication because it satisfies closure, associativity, has an identity element, and each element has an inverse.

Q8: Let R be a ring. Prove that R^n (n-tuples of elements of R) forms a module over R.

See Answer

R^n forms a module over R because it satisfies the axioms of a module: closure under addition, scalar multiplication, and distributive properties hold for R^n.

Q9: Prove that a finite group of prime order is cyclic.

See Answer

A group of prime order p has no proper subgroups and every element generates the entire group. Hence, the group is cyclic.

Q10: Show that the set of complex numbers under addition is a group.

See Answer

The set of complex numbers under addition forms a group because it satisfies closure, associativity, has an identity element (0), and every element has an inverse (-z for any z).
