MA-111:- ALGEBRA
Assignment-2

1. Let H be a subgroup of a group G and S be the set of all left cosets of H in G. Then prove that
there is a homomorphism f of G into A(S) such that ker(f ) is the largest subgroup of G which is
contained in H, where A(S) denotes the set of all permutations of S.

2. An element a ∈ R is called nilpotent if an = 0 for some positive integer n ≥ 1. Give an example of


non-zero nilpotent elements in the ring of 2 × 2 matrices. Does an integral domain have no non-zero
nilpotent element?

3. If ChR = p, p is prime, Show that (a + b)p = ap + ap , in a commutative ring R, a, b ∈ R.

4. Two ideals A and B of a ring R are called co-maximal if A + B = R. Prove that if A and B are
co-maximal ideals of the commutative ring R with unity, then AB = A ∩ B.
