(1) Does there exist an element of order 42 in $A_{13} ?$ Justify your answer
(2) Let $G$ be a group, $a, b \in G$ and $|a|=20,|b|=18$ and $\langle a\rangle \cap\langle b\rangle \neq{e}$. Prove that $a^{10}=b^{9}$.
(3) Let $H \subset(\mathbb{Q},+)$ be a subgroup generated by finitely many elements. Prove that $H$ is cyclic.
(4) Does there exist an element $\sigma \in S_{15}$ such that $\sigma^{4}=(3256) ?$ Justify your answer.
(5) Let
$$
\sigma=\left[\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc}
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 \
12 & 5 & 6 & 15 & 1 & 10 & 20 & 2 & 13 & 14 & 17 & 19 & 18 & 3 & 9 & 4 & 7 & 11 & 8 & 16
\end{array}\right]
$$
(a) Find $|\sigma|$;
(b) Is $\sigma$ even or odd?
(6) Let $\alpha=(124)(3521)(542)$
Find $\alpha^{99}$.
(7) Let $\alpha=(284975)(11063)$ and $\beta=(247)(589)(13610)$ be elements in $S_{10}$.
Find $|\langle\alpha\rangle \cap\langle\beta\rangle|$. Justify your answer.
(8) Let $H=\left{\sigma \in A_{7} \mid \sigma^{2}=\varepsilon\right} .$ Is $H$ a subgroup of $A_{7} ?$

Lecture notes
Please click here for the last version of the notes. Every week this file will be updated to include the material covered during that week. If you plan to print the notes, keep in mind that the notes are going to “evolve”: the first 10 pages of this week’s version may not be identical to the first 10 pages of next week’s. This is because for instance, new subsections will be added to the Preliminaries section, as needed. (Final version uploaded on Dec 7, 2018.)
If you want to read ahead, here are the notes from a past (Winter 2017) offering of the course.
