What is Cayley's Theorem?

Cayley's Theorem states that every group G is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group on G.


Prove that the intersection of any two subgroups of a group ia s again a subgroup?

Let H and I be subgroups of G. A group B is a subgroup of a group A if and only if every member of B is a member of A. Thus, every member of H is a member of G, and every member of I is a member of G. The intersection of two groups A and B is the set of things that are members of both A and B. Hence, if a group C is equivalent to the intersection of A and B, then everything that is a member of both A and B is a member of C, and everything that is a member of C is a member of both A and B. Hence, everything that is a member of the intersection of H and I is a member of H. We established above that every member of H is a member of G. Thus, everything that is a member of the intersection of H and I is a member of G. Recall that A group B is a subgroup of a group A if and only if every member of B is a member of A. Hence, if everything that is a member of the intersection of H and I is a member of G, then the intersection of H and I is a subgroup of G, and so the intersection of H and I is indeed a subgroup of G.


How do you prove the Baire Category Theorem?

The Baire Category Theorem is, in my opinion, one of the most incredible, influential, and important results from any field of mathematics, let alone topology. It is known as an existence theorem because it provides the necessary conditions to prove that certain things must exist, even if there aren't any examples of them that can be shown. The theorem was proved by Ren&eacute;-Louis Baire in 1899 and is a necessary result to prove, amongst other things, the uniform boundedness principle and the open mapping theorem (two of the three most fundamental results from functional analysis), the real numbers being uncountable, and the existence of continuous, yet nowhere differentiable, functions from R to R.The proof is quite long and involves some pretty advanced math, so to help with the reader's comprehension there is a list of symbols and their meanings at the end of this proof. Also, I've added many related links with definitions and explanations of the terms used in this proof.The Baire Category Theorem:If B, D is a nonempty, complete metric space, then the following two statements hold:1) If B is formulated as the union of countably-many subsets, C1, C2, &hellip;, Cp, then at least one of the Cp is somewhere dense.2) If A1, A2, &hellip;, Ap are countably-many, dense, open subsets of B, then &cap;pAp is dense in B, i.e. Cl(&cap;pAp) = BProof:1) If the first statement is false, then there is a countable family {Cp}, p &#1028; P, of subsets of B such that B = &cup;pCp, but (Cl Cp)o = &Oslash; for each p &#1028; P. Therefore, for each p, Cl Cp&ne; B. Select b1 &#1028; B - Cl C1. There is a positive number m1 < 1, since B - Cl C1 is open, such that N(b1, m1) &sub; B - Cl C1. Now we set G1 = N(b1, m1/2). Then Cl G1 &sub; N(b1, m1); hence Cl G1 &cap; Cl C1 = &Oslash;.Since G1 is a nonempty, open subset of B, that means G1 &nsub; Cl C2. So, choose a b2 &#1028; G1- Cl C2. Since G1 - Cl C2 is open, there is an m2 > 0 such that N(b2, m2) &sub; G1 - Cl C2. This time we'll require m2 < 1/2 and then set G2 = N(b2, m2/2). Then G2 &sub; G1 and Cl G2 &cap; Cl C2 = &Oslash;.If we continue on like this, requiring m3 < 1/3, m4 < 1/4, etc., we'll obtain a decreasing sequence of mp-neighborhoods, G1 &sup; G2 &sup; G3 &sup; &hellip; &sup; Gp &sup; &hellip; such that Cl Gp &cap; Cl Cp = &Oslash; and mp < 1/p. Then Cl G1 &sup; Cl G2 &sup; Cl G3 &sup; &hellip; &sup; Cl Gp &sup; &hellip; and d(Gp) --> 0.I'm going to use a result from another theorem in topology, not proven here, which says that if G1 &sup; G2 &sup; G3 &sup; &hellip; &sup; Gp &sup; &hellip; , d(Gp) --> 0, and &cap;pGp &ne; &Oslash;, then the metric space B, D is complete. Therefore, &cap;p Cl Gp &ne; &Oslash;. So, if we pick a g &#1028; &cap;pGp, then g &#1028; Cp for some p, since &cup;pCp = B. However, that would imply that g &#1028; Cl Cp &cap; Cl Gp which is impossible because Cl Cp and Cl Gp are disjoint. So, for 1), Q.E.D.2) To start, we're going to suppose that {Ap}, p &#1028; P, is a countable family of dense, open subsets of B. To prove that &cap;pAp is dense, all that we need to prove is that every neighborhood of any element of B meets &cap;pAp. In other words, for any selected g &#1028; Band any m > 0, we'll show that N(g, m) &cap; (&cap;pAp) &ne; &Oslash;.If we set T = Cl N(g, m/2), then T &sub; N(g, m). Now we'll show that T &cap; (&cap;pAp) &ne; &Oslash;. We know that T is a subspace of the closed metric space, B, D, and that Titself is closed. So, using an earlier theorem that won't be proved here, T is a complete metric space. If we set Gp = T - Ap which is equal to Tp &cap; (B - Ap), we see that the intersection of two closed subsets of B, Gp is closed in both B and T.Now suppose Gp is somewhere dense. Then there is an element t &#1028; T and a number q > 0 such that N(t, q) &cap; T &sub; Cl Gp &cap; T = Gp. Therefore, N(t, q) &cap; (T - Gp) = &Oslash;. We can see that t &#1028; T = Cl N(g, m/2). Therefore N(t, q) meets N(g, m/2) at some point z. We then choose q' > 0 such that N(z, q') &sub; N(t, q) &cap; N(g, m/2). However, since Ap is dense, N(z, q') intersects Ap at a point we'll call z' . Well, then it must be that z' &#1028; N(t, q) &cap; T &sub; Gp. But, Gp= T - Ap, hence z' &#1028; T - Ap. That implies then that z' &notin; Ap which is a contradiction. Therefore Gp must be nowhere dense in T.So, by the first statement of the theorem, 1), which we already proved, T &ne; &cup;pGp. Thus, there is n element s &#1028; T - &cup;pGp. Therefore, since Gp = T - Ap, then s &#1028; T &cap; (&cap;pAp) and so T&cap; (&cap;pAp) &ne; &Oslash; meaning N(g, m) &cap; (&cap;pAp) &ne; &Oslash;.Q.E.D.List of symbols:R - The set of real numbers, including rational, irrational, positive, and negative numbers, as well as 0.
