Lagrange's Theorem 라그랑지 정리
Math2008. 4. 4. 01:26 |" If G is a finite group and H ≤ G , then |H| divides |G| "
[Proof]
[Lemma] For any G (finite or infinite) , Every coset of H (≤ G) has the same cardinality.
because ∃a one-to-one map Φ from H onto gH ∀g∈G.
For example, Φ(h) = gh for each h∈H.
onto : clear by definition of Φ.
one-to-one : by cancellation law.
Thus, ∀g∈G , |gH| = |Hg| = |H|
-----------------------------------------------
Since cosets are the cells in the partition by an equivalence relation in G, cosets are disjoint subsets of G.
Therefore, ∀g∈G, ∑ |gH| = ∑ |Hg| = |G|
Let G be a finite group and r be the number of cells in the partition of G into left(or right) cosets of H.
then ∑ |gH| = ∑ |Hg| = r|H| = |G| and it follows that " |H| divides |G| ."
