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)

Theorem

Inn(G) is a normal subgroup of Aut(G)
