Isomorphism between two groups












1












$begingroup$



Prove that $langle Bbb Z/nBbb Z, +rangle$ and $langle U_{n}, {}cdot{}rangle$ are isomorphic binary structure where $U_n$ is roots of unity and $Bbb Z/nBbb Z$ is integers modulo $n$.




I know that for isomorphic binary structure, we define a function between groups and we should check homomorphism property and bijection. But I can not define a function. Please help me, if you have any good idea.

    That's better. Now, if you're stuck on a general problem (like here, "show that for all $n$, something something"), it usually helps to check a few small examples and see if you can get some insight. What about $Bbb Z/Bbb Z_2$ and $U_2$? What about $Bbb Z/3Bbb Z$ and $U_3$? Can you find isomorhisms there? What about $4$ and $5$? Does that generalize in any way?

    You are right. Thank you. I can define a map between $Z/3Z$ and $U3$ for example : $f(3k)$ = $(3k)^i$ or can not ?

Outline:



$$U_n={1, zeta,zeta^2,cdots, zeta^{n-1}}=langle zeta rangle$$ where $zeta=e^frac{2 pi i}{n}$



For a sake of simplicity, identify $Bbb Z/ n Bbb Z$ with $Bbb Z_n$. Here $Bbb Z_n =langle 1 rangle$. Then the map $$ f:Bbb Z_n ni 1^i mapsto zeta^i in U_n$$ is an isomorphism (!). Here $1^n$ means $underbrace{1+1+cdots+1}_{n ;times}$

            0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
