1 Last time: Recall that the fibers of a map ϕ : X Ñ Y are the sets in ϕ 1 pyq Ď X which all map to the same element y P Y.
2 Last time: Recall that the fibers of a map ϕ : X Ñ Y are the sets in ϕ 1 pyq Ď X which all map to the same element y P Y. Example 1: The fibers of the homomorphism are ϕ : Z Ñ Z{4Z z ÞÑ z. 4Z t4z z P Zu t..., 8, 4, 0, 4, 8,... u ÞÑ 0 4Z ` 1 t4z ` 1 z P Zu t..., 7, 3, 1, 5, 9,... u ÞÑ 1 4Z ` 2 t4z ` 2 z P Zu t..., 6, 2, 2, 6, 10,... u ÞÑ 2 4Z ` 3 t4z ` 3 z P Zu t..., 5, 1, 3, 7, 11,... u ÞÑ 3
3 Last time: Example 2: The map ϕ : D 12 Ñ S 3 defined by s ÞÑ p12q r ÞÑ p123q extends to a homomorphism. Its fibers are K K kerpϕq t1, r 3 u ÞÑ 1 Ks tks k P Ku ts, r 3 su ÞÑ p12q Krs tkrs k P Ku trs, r 4 su ÞÑ p13q Kr 2 s tkr 2 s k P Ku tr 2 s, r 5 su ÞÑ p23q Kr tkr k P Ku tr, r 4 u ÞÑ p123q Kr 2 tkr 2 k P Ku tr 2, r 5 u ÞÑ p132q
4 Last time: Let K ď G. Then for g P G, we call the sets gk tgk k P Ku and Kg tkg k P Ku the left and right coset of K (corresponding to g). And element of a coset is called a representative of the coset. Theorem Let ϕ : G Ñ H be a surjective homomorphism of groups with kernel K. For each h P H, let 1. Then X h ϕ 1 phq tg P G ϕpgq hu. x P X a and y P X b implies xy P X ab. In particular as subsets of G, tx h h P Hu is a group under the operation X a X b X ab. (We call this group the quotient group G{kerpϕq). 2. Fix some fiber X h. For any x P X h, X h xk and X h Kx.
5 2. Fix some fiber X h. For any x P X h, X h xk and X h Kx. This says that if K ď G is the kernel of some homomorphism, then xk Kx for all x P G, and Kx Ky for all y P Kx (the sets are equal).
6 2. Fix some fiber X h. For any x P X h, X h xk and X h Kx. This says that if K ď G is the kernel of some homomorphism, then xk Kx for all x P G, and Kx Ky for all y P Kx (the sets are equal). Caution: Kernels are special left and right cosets, even of subgroups, aren t always equal.
7 2. Fix some fiber X h. For any x P X h, X h xk and X h Kx. This says that if K ď G is the kernel of some homomorphism, then xk Kx for all x P G, and Kx Ky for all y P Kx (the sets are equal). Caution: Kernels are special left and right cosets, even of subgroups, aren t always equal. For example, consider G S 3, H xp12qy t1, p12qu, and x p23q.
8 2. Fix some fiber X h. For any x P X h, X h xk and X h Kx. This says that if K ď G is the kernel of some homomorphism, then xk Kx for all x P G, and Kx Ky for all y P Kx (the sets are equal). Caution: Kernels are special left and right cosets, even of subgroups, aren t always equal. For example, consider These give G S 3, H xp12qy t1, p12qu, and x p23q. xh tp23q1, p23qp12qu
9 2. Fix some fiber X h. For any x P X h, X h xk and X h Kx. This says that if K ď G is the kernel of some homomorphism, then xk Kx for all x P G, and Kx Ky for all y P Kx (the sets are equal). Caution: Kernels are special left and right cosets, even of subgroups, aren t always equal. For example, consider These give G S 3, H xp12qy t1, p12qu, and x p23q. xh tp23q1, p23qp12qu tp23q, p132qu
10 2. Fix some fiber X h. For any x P X h, X h xk and X h Kx. This says that if K ď G is the kernel of some homomorphism, then xk Kx for all x P G, and Kx Ky for all y P Kx (the sets are equal). Caution: Kernels are special left and right cosets, even of subgroups, aren t always equal. For example, consider These give and G S 3, H xp12qy t1, p12qu, and x p23q. xh tp23q1, p23qp12qu tp23q, p132qu Hx t1p23q, p12qp23qu
11 2. Fix some fiber X h. For any x P X h, X h xk and X h Kx. This says that if K ď G is the kernel of some homomorphism, then xk Kx for all x P G, and Kx Ky for all y P Kx (the sets are equal). Caution: Kernels are special left and right cosets, even of subgroups, aren t always equal. For example, consider These give and G S 3, H xp12qy t1, p12qu, and x p23q. xh tp23q1, p23qp12qu tp23q, p132qu Hx t1p23q, p12qp23qu tp23q, p123qu.
12 1. Then x P X a and y P X b implies xy P X ab. In particular as subsets of G, tx h h P Hu is a group under the operation X a X b X ab. This says that if K is the kernel of some homomorphism of a group G, then the set G{K : txk x P Gu is a group under the multiplication xk yk pxyqk.

This says that if K is the kernel of some homomorphism of a group G, then the set G{K : txk x P Gu is a group under the multiplication xk yk pxyqk. Further, if K is, specifically, the kernel of the homomorphism ϕ : G Ñ H, then the map G{K Ñ imgpϕq ď H defined by xk ÞÑ ϕpxq is a bijective homomorphism

This says that if K is the kernel of some homomorphism of a group G, then the set G{K : txk x P Gu is a group under the multiplication xk yk pxyqk. Further, if K is, specifically, the kernel of the homomorphism ϕ : G Ñ H, then the map G{K Ñ imgpϕq ď H defined by xk ÞÑ ϕpxq is a bijective homomorphism, so G{kerpϕq imgpϕq. (This is called the 1st isomorphism theorem)
