Problem 16
a) Draw the Hasse diagram for the set of positive integer divisors of (i) 2 ; (ii) \(4 ;\) (iii) 6 ; (iv) 8 ; (v) 12; (vi) 16; (vii) 24 ; (viii) 30 ; (ix) 32 . b) For all \(2 \leq n \leq 35\), show that the Hasse diagram for the set of positive-integer divisors of \(n\) looks like one of the nine diagrams in part (a). (Ignore the numbers at the vertices and concentrate on the structure given by the vertices and edges.) What happens for \(n=36 ?\) c) For \(n \in \mathbf{Z}^{+}, \tau(n)=\) the number of positive-integer divisors of \(n .\) (See Supplementary Exercise 32 in Chapter 5.) Let \(m, n \in \mathbf{Z}^{+}\)and \(S, T\) be the sets of all positive-integer divisors of \(m, n\), respectively. The results of parts (a) and (b) imply that if the Hasse diagrams of \(S, T\) are structurally the same, then \(\tau(m)=\tau(n)\). But is the converse true? d) Show that each Hasse diagram in part (a) is a lattice if we define \(\mathrm{glb}[x, y\\}=\operatorname{gcd}(x, y)\) and lub \([x, y]=\operatorname{lcm}(x, y)\)
