4. If G is a group, then it acts on itself by conjugation: If we let X = G (to make the ideas clearer), then the action is Gx X = (g, x) H+ 5-1xg E G. Equivalence classes of G under this action are usually called conjugacy classes. (a) If geG, what does it mean for x E X to be fixed by g under this action? (b) If x E X , what is the isotropy subgroup Gx...
Question 2. (Class equation) Let G be a finite group acting on itself by conjugation, and let 1, 82, ..., 8k be a full list of distinct conjugacy class representatives. Show that in this case, we can rewrite the the orbit-stabilizer theorem as G = 1+
Identifiy S3 with the group of S4 to 4 consisting of the permutations of (1,2,3,4 ) that maps a) Write down the elements of a subgroup H of S4 that is a conjugate of Ss but not S3 itself. (Hint: any such H wl have 6 elements) (b) How many subgroups of Sa are conjugates of Ss (including Ss itself)? (c)Let H be a subgroup of a group G. Show that Nc(H), the normalizer of H in G (d) What...
Use the class equation to show that if |G| ≥ 3, then G has at least 3 distinct conjugacy classes.
Please show all steps clearly.
4. (a) Define when two elements of a group are conjugate to each other. State and de- duce the class equation using the decomposition of a group in conjugacy classes (b) Let G be a finite group and p a prime number such that p divides G. Prove that there is a subgroup H of G such that |H p. (c) Let p be a prime number. Prove that any positive integer n, any group...

1. (a) Let G be a group and consider the power set P(G) = {SCG) Explicitly verify that GXP(G) + P(G) (9,8) gSg-1 = {gsg- S ES} is a group action of G on P(G). (b) Let G = Ss, and consider the subset S = ((1 3), (25)) E P(G). Compute the orbit of S under the action of G, as well as the stabilizer of S in G.
4. Jason is the captain of a group called Dance Dance Resolution. The group can use its resources to either teach hip-hop and/or jazz dance. If they use all their resources to teach only hip-hop classes, they could teach 20 classes. If they use all their resources to teach only jazz classes, they could teach 30 classes. Currently, they use all their resources to teach 10 hip-hop classes and 18 jazz classes. (7 pts.) a. Draw the production possibilities frontier...
