Group Homomorphisms and the Isomorphism Theorems
About this page
How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
✓ 17 results · all verified · 0 also independently AI-judged
Every result on this page is machine-checked by a proof checker and read in full and owner-audited; the judge is an additional, independent cross-model AI review of the proofs. The 17 not AI-judged were verified by owner audit (typically over a confirmed judge false positive), not failures.

Definition
Group isomorphisms, automorphisms and the set Aut(G)
Lemma
The inverse of a bijective group homomorphism is a group homomorphism
Definition
The kernel and image of a group homomorphism
Theorem
The image of a group homomorphism is a subgroup and its kernel is a normal subgroup
Theorem
A group homomorphism is injective if and only if its kernel is trivial
Corollary
A subgroup is normal if and only if it is the kernel of a group homomorphism
Lemma
Two elements have the same image under a homomorphism if and only if they lie in the same coset of its kernel
Theorem
A homomorphism that kills a normal subgroup factors uniquely through the quotient group
Theorem
First isomorphism theorem for groups: G/ker f congimf
Lemma
If H≤ G and N is normal in G, then HN is a subgroup and H∩ N is normal in H
Theorem
Second isomorphism theorem for groups: H/(H∩ N)≅ HN/N
Lemma
If K is normal in G, N is normal in G and K⊆ N, then N/K is normal in G/K
Theorem
Third isomorphism theorem for groups: (G/K)/(N/K)≅ G/N
Theorem
Correspondence theorem: subgroups of G/N correspond to subgroups of G containing N, with normality preserved
Theorem
The automorphisms of a group form a group under composition
Theorem
Conjugation x↦ gxg⁻¹ is an automorphism
Definition
Inner automorphisms and Inn(G)
Theorem
The map g↦(x↦ gxg⁻¹) is a homomorphism G toAut(G) with kernel Z(G) and image Inn(G)
Corollary
G/Z(G)congInn(G)
