Problem III.2.2.2

Verify that the set PP of matrices

±∥1001∥,±∥1−1−1−1∥,±∥−1−1−11∥,±∥01−10∥ \pm \left\Vert \begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{smallmatrix}\right\Vert , \quad \pm \left\Vert \begin{smallmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & -1 \end{smallmatrix}\right\Vert , \quad \pm \left\Vert \begin{smallmatrix} -1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \end{smallmatrix}\right\Vert , \quad \pm \left\Vert \begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ -1 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\right\Vert

over Z3Z_{3} forms a group isomorphic to the quaternion group Q8Q_{8} and being a Sylow 2-subgroup of SL(2,Z3)\mathrm{SL}\left(2, Z_{3}\right). Show that P◃SL(2,Z3)P \triangleleft \mathrm{SL}\left(2, Z_{3}\right).

Problem III.2.2.3

Show that the groups S4S_{4} and SL(2,Z3)\mathrm{SL}\left(2, Z_{3}\right) are not isomorphic. Are the groups PSL⁡(2,Z3)\operatorname {PSL}\left(2, Z_{3}\right) and A4A_{4} isomorphic?

Problem III.2.2.4

Prove that every group GG of order pqp q (p<qp<q prime numbers) is either cyclic, or nonabelian with a normal Sylow qq-subgroup, and the latter is possible if and only if q−1q-1 is divisible by pp. In particular, all groups of order 15 are cyclic.

Problem III.2.2.5

Obtain anew (see [ВА I, Ch. 6§16 \S 1, Example]) the congruence (p−1)!+1≡0( mod p)(p-1) !+1 \equiv 0(\bmod p) for prime pp by direct computation of the number NpN_{p} of Sylow pp-subgroups in the symmetric group SpS_{p}.

Problem III.2.2.6

Verify that a group GG of order ∣G∣⩽30\left|G\right| \leqslant 30 cannot be simple.
