Document Summary

December 9th, 2009: (12 points) for each of the following pairs of groups, if the groups are isomorphic, circle g1 = g2 and explain why they are isomorphic. If the groups aren"t isomorphic, circle g1 6 = g2 and explain why not. (a) q 6 = q [where q = rationals, q = quaternions] There are pleanty of reasons why the rationals and quaternions cannot be isomorphic. The easiest reasons are (1) the rationals are an in nite group while the quarternions are a group of order 8 and (2) the rationals are an abelian group while the quaternions are not. But there are other (harder & sillier) ways to see that these groups aren"t isomorphic. For example, all of the non-identity elements in q have in nite order (0 6= r q then r + r + + r = nr 6= 0 unless n = 0).
