For a group \(G\), prove that the function \(f: G \rightarrow G\) defined by \(f(a)=a^{-1}\) is an isomorphism if and only if \(G\) is abelian.
a) In how many ways can the seven (identical) horses on a carousel be painted with black, brown, and white paint in such a way that there are three black, two brown, and two white horses? b) In how many ways would there be equal numbers of black and brown horses? c) Give a combinatorial argument to verify that for all \(n \in \mathbf{Z}^{+}, n^{7}+6 n\) is divisible by 7
A binary symmetric channel has probability \(p=0.05\) of incorrect transmission. If the code word \(c=011011101\) is transmitted, what is the probability that (a) we receive \(r=\) 011111101 ? (b) we receive \(r=111011100\) ? (c) a single error occurs? (d) a double error occurs? (e) a triple error occurs? (f) three errors occur, no two of them consecutive?
If \(f: G \rightarrow H, g: H \rightarrow K\) are homomorphisms, prove that the composite function \(g \circ f: G \rightarrow K\), where \((g \circ f)(x)=\) \(g(f(x))\), is a homomorphism.
If \(\gamma=\left(\begin{array}{llll}1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 2 & 1 & 4 & 3\end{array}\right) \in S_{4}\), how many cosets does \(\langle\gamma\rangle\) determine?
