Problem III.2.3.1

Show that in a finite abelian group AA, for any d∣∣A∣d|| A \mid there exists at least one subgroup of order dd (the converse of Lagrange's theorem).

Problem III.2.3.2

Show that, with a suitable ordering, the invariants of any subgroup are divisors of the invariants of the abelian group.

Problem III.2.3.3

If A⊕A≅B⊕BA \oplus A \cong B \oplus B, where AA and BB are finite abelian groups, then A≅BA \cong B.

Problem III.2.3.4

If A,B,CA, B, C are finite abelian groups and A⊕C≅B⊕CA \oplus C \cong B \oplus C, then A≅BA \cong B.

Problem III.2.3.5

Every finite abelian group of order nn, not divisible by the square of an integer >1>1, is cyclic.

Problem III.2.3.6

List all the nonisomorphic abelian groups of order 72.

Problem III.2.3.7

Are the groups Z12⊕Z72Z_{12} \oplus Z_{72} and Z18⊕Z48Z_{18} \oplus Z_{48} isomorphic?

Problem III.2.3.8

State and prove the theorem on finitely generated abelian groups in the language of integer matrices (matrices with coefficients in Z\mathbb {Z}). Use appropriately elementary transformations on such matrices.

Problem III.2.3.9

Prove that the index of a subgroup A⊆FnabA \subseteq F_{n}^{a b} of the free abelian group FnabF_{n}^{a b} of rank nn is finite if and only if rank⁡A=n\operatorname {rank} A=n.
